Welcome for XV70 Camry owner to leave your comment here, please share your thought, owner experience and open discussion for coming / future Camry owner.
It's become a very rare D-Segment nowadays, hard to find New Camry owner discussion thread, hence I open this new topic for owner/future owner sharing their useful information.

It's a 6 months waiting period for those who order now
Toyota said it's overwhelming on this model, chip shortage, need to import from Thailand bla bla bla. (wondering why still easier to spot a Ferrari than a new Camry nowadays)

have u tested the new engine + gb? how was it? Test drove the pre-facelift last time (old engine, 6 gear), it kinda lazy engine feeling.

haven't got chance to test drive, just start the car, play some music, let my wife sit behind then ordered Maybe next week I go for a test drive.
But many reviewer said new DF +8at is very promising, should be able to complete the century sprint around 8.5s

6 months waiting list? Waa

So after sst this car 200k+

all D segments getting higher price nowadays. all play into rm200k. Accord current gen can get around 150k+ to 160k if after rebates. thanks to low sales.

This Gen8 Camry has good reviews from States.

Looks canggih and new toyota platform.

Theres quite a number in klang valley. Everyday can see them

But the backlight... At night only half lit, the stapler design everything just so off. Before dynamic force facelift people talk about which and what. After dynamic force and the backseat boss upgrade ppl talk about buying lexus ES for price of toyota and naturally it becomes a no brainer.

At 200k + mazda 6 and passat also will be a lesser choice only to specific executives who takes driving mechanics over passenger comfort.

The most sensible D segment choice imo. The rest all come with their own shortcomings... Camry really have none unless you wanna nitpick

Ya, Miss those days when D-segment selling below 150k, like the good old day Camry, Accord, Cefiro 2.0
The current Accord selling 178 & 187 for full spec (Retabe 15K for 2021 model), so it will be 163 & 172

Hardly see any new gen accord and camry OTR, as you paying for 200K, some might say why dun top-up a bit and get a E-Segment.
For me, I'm looking for a worry free car, not a "badge" car at lowest spec. I believe in future, H&T is much more easier to maintain than B&M brand

i love the look of new Arteon, just saw it this morning Odr (b4 this via youtube). considering the RV of VW, in general, might be one of the lists to consider replacing my 7 years old Accord.

Indeed, many are thinking this Facelift is same to ES250 due to same Chassis, Engine, Gearbox.
But Lexus is a Lexus, there are performance damper to absorb excessive body roll, and more "atasness exterior/interior" and more noise reduction.

But camry is not far from the benchmark

i saw it many around Putrajaya, Alamanda, Ioi mall. the rear, i have the same comments as u, still can't digest the look. Even Perdana Accord by Proton rear looks better than this gen Accord rear.

I believe Arteon is a more fun car to drive, nevertheless its a conti car.
but i don't have good impression with VW, as I always heard complain from VW owner, not sure if they make the car more reliable nowadays.
My friend brought a VW Passat CC, end up is a frequent visit to the VW workshop.
And my cousin brought a Vento, its the price for vios to buy, but the maintenance fee never friendly.
But that is 3 years ago la, maybe they solve those issue d

i think it depends? Last time used to be true because there are many camry/accord on the road, more workshop willing to source the spare parts. Now if the volume is too small, they might need to get from Japan (ori) or TW/CHN (OEM). So end up might drive up the cost and lead time

On the other hand, there are more BB cars on the road right now, so might be cheaper/easier to get OEM parts.

Any owner for new camry? Can give some feedback? Especially the engine and gearbox.. For the features i think its good..better than before. Tss 2.0 correct?

i dont think jp have this south east asian camry. majority indon & siam only

almost not seen yet odr. Either the delivery takes time or does it lack of sales?

TSS2.5
Including All speed Adaptive cruise control, pedestrian and Bicycle detection (so can do it best to avoid bicycle lajak)

First batch Camry FL mostly become a test drive / Show car d, only few percentage are sold.
They are some branch got their hand on very limited new stock this few months, but the next batch have to wait at least 4 months, some showroom even given a waiting period of 11 months.
Maybe because this is CBU (Thailand)
