Looks like Toyota is taking a few design elements from their Lexus'

Looks good, kinda like a poor mans Lexus. At least it's not boring to look at.

 

That nose is not too bad but there are some pictures of other 2018 Camry with hideous looking grille, blah!

 

Be still my heart. I totally want a Lexus RC. So that could be the poor mans Lexus lol

Just like this:

 

I actually really like it. Might look at getting one as a daily in a few years when they are in the 20s instead of 30s

 

Good Looking Car !!!!!!

 

Has anyone had any real world experience with the new 2018 Camry Hybrids LE or XLE? The LE's claim 50+MPG and the XLE's 44+MPG. We are considering one and want to know how "Real" these numbers are.

 

My cousin drives a 2018 hybrid, he consistently gets 45 on it, I was shocked on how great the interior looks.

 

Hybrids are great in the city, we have a few at work and they get close to advertised mpg. If you have a long highway commute you would probably be better served by the 4cyl as it get over 40 mpg as well, but will obviously do much worse in stop and go.

 

I'm torn between '18 Camry Hybrid LE ~$29K and a '15 Ford C-xax energi SEL ~$16K (i think this is plug-in and thus the 38/42mpg jumps to 104/87mpge!).
Of course cost goes into the equation but comfort, cost to use and maintain should also be considered. I'm starting to look now for possible purchase in May.
