We'll start finding out something tomorrow night at 11 PM Eastern time when the 9th Gen 2025 Toyota Camry is released at the LA Auto Show. The Lexus ES 350 uses the same platform. Speculation over the new Camry continues all over the map, so I'm not going to post anything Camry until the reveal. I can say that some of the proposals floated are "clean," quite attractive, and would sell like hot cakes; however, the latest mule under camouflage looks like it may continue the "over-styling" sins. Referencing my post about a month ago, we'll find out if the new Camry still looks like a Toyota. Likewise, speculation over the Camry's big brother Lexus ES 350 abounds and I'm not sure if the plug on "over-styling" got pulled in time. But I'll post two wilder spy shots of where the ES 350 might have been earlier before the Humphries' epiphany. Get ready to rumble! IMHO, still too much shock value.

The Cadillac House needs to get the white 'circular desk' back out of storage, so she can greet clients!

Why is Cadillac suddenly ending its' new models in "iq?" Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
One of the mysteries of the branding in the car biz. The whole alphanumeric thing ala the Germans never resonated, and the old Fleetwood, DeVille, Eldorado, Broughm et al is too old school. Is IQ the answer. Ask in 10 -15 yrs.
