I love how they spin marketing sometimes, for starters, inferno used to be available on previous gen Camry and Aurion and it is not available on 86 (that colour is called Velocity Orange and is brighter).
It's kinda funky for a Camry, but yes, it is still a Camry. I have a showroom demonstrator for sale right now ;)

So it has black accents and wheels and 135kw? Move over GT-F, there is a new King of Aussie sports sedans...

Nope, whilst its an improvement on their previous effort, it still misses the mark.
I can understand their motivation, they are trying to combat the reality that only men with no further use for their testicles would buy a Camry for themselves, but for mine this doesn't quite get there.

Let's not confuse the journo calling it sporty with Toyota calling it sporty shall we? Toyota don't claim it to be sporty, but sports inspired - which is not untrue given it has the stiffer suspension etc.
Also don't confuse this with being anything other than a Falcon SR or value added pack like any other brand.. they're not trying to claim that this is the best car to grace the market.

Be aware Australia, this is the stuff we will be left with once the FALCON and COMMODORE are gone. Ooh it's got an extra 2kw! It's so sporty.

They followed FPV's lead by giving their special edition a nominal power increase, black spoilers and dark wheels and some stickers. It will sell.......

I reckon they should be producing Hybrid version similar to this car......Electric motors produce alot of torque so 0-100 times would'nt be too bad.

Like most Toyotas I think it look fine, not great, not bad, just fine and very forgettable.

I wouldnt be surprised if many companies will start pushing a bit harder with their mid to large sedans once the locals start dropping off.
