Changes for 2005

Does anybody know what changes are expected in the 2005 Camry. My understanding is that almost everything will be a continuation of 2004, but that a few enhancements may be forthcoming. Any info?

All Camry sedans receive enhancements for the new model year which include a restyled front fascia, grille, headlamps and rear taillamps. In addition to these styling changes, the Standard and LE grades receive new wheel cover designs. The sporty SE model receives a new unique grille, with 17-inch alloy wheels now standard on SE V6 models.


Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) are now standard on all 2005 Camry sedans. Automatic transmissions on the four-cylinder models have been upgraded to a smooth-shifting five-speed electronically controlled transmission with intelligence (ECT-i).

Inside, comfort and convenience features are enhanced. Lexus-like Optitron meters on the instrument panel, steering wheel audio controls and a rear center headrest are now standard equipment. Standard, LE and XLE four-cylinder models come with new fabric, while XLE V6 models are now equipped with standard leather-trimmed seats.

With all this added value, Camry prices increase $100 on four-cylinder LE, SE and XLE models. Standard grade and the premium XLE V6 pricing remains unchanged, while V6 LE and SE models receive a price increase of $120 and $310, respectively.

Be still, my heart!
