It's disappointing that the whole Atara range has the same alloys, I would have hoped perhaps the SL model would have something to distinguish itself.

We have got an Atara S (Ateva) into stock now in wildfire. Great car, amazing reverse camera for a low model car. The interior is just so much of an improvement over its predecessor it's not funny, and the exterior, well I don't mind it at all.

We have an Atara SX (Sportivo) coming in next week, graphite in colour with leather interior which we're registering as a demonstrator and will be my new drive car! Woot!

Oh I'm loving it! I am a little dissapointed with the colour choices though...be nice to have that nice white on the SX...speaking of which. For the salespeople in this forum, is the SX available with a moonroof option? It doesn't seem to show that anywhere. I am so excited about this car! I'm going to save very hard now indeed! Can't believe I wanted a Kizashi earlier in the year...

Yes it is available, in the Option Pack, which includes front illuminated vanity mirror, and rear map lights.

The introduction of the gen 7 Camry range is following a similar marketing program as per the gen 6. That is, all models look very similar and they are aching for minor trim upgrades. Here is what should (and you just know it will) happen when they upgrade the gen 7 in early 2014:

- full LED rear light clusters (possibly with a minor design amendment)

- chrome on the grille, fog lights and rear of the SX and SL

- active radar cruise control.

While personally I would get a Camry, if you are objectively assessing mid-size cars to purchase with your own realy money, consider the Accord (not the Euro, the American one). Why? Honda is bleeding cash, the design is o-l-d, the car looks fugly, and Honda wants new car sales to generate fat profit when you bring it back for dealership warranty servicing. As for Toyota, they will NOT discount. Why? Guaranteed fleet sales, easily able to supply stock (unlike many other manufacturers due to Japanese tsunami and Thai flood), and they have already discounted their interest rates and servicing cost up the gazoo.

Yeah there is a few dealer demo's starting to kick about now. We was lucky enough to get 2 altise's 2 Atara S and a SL. SL is bloody beautiful car to drive. Quality is spot on and isnt too far behind driving a current Lexus really. Do find it weird that at least the SL doesnt have the lip spoiler as standard though. Also the 18's off the American car would of being a nice touch to the SX to make it look a little more menacing. But really a nice car over all. Love the interior.

Lots of features across the range. But is light sensitive head lights available? Also illuminated vanity mirrors and rear map reading lights only available as an option pack.

ALL variants of the Camry have Auto headlights. As opposed to older Toyota models, the AUTO mode is now in the first switch position, where as the older models had the AUTO in the last switch position

Hey Guys,

All the Camry's still have vanity and map lights as well as sunglasses holder (although i'm sure it's not as deep as the 40 series) But yes it's true the Auto fuction is now the first light setting as opposed to the last like were used too.

"First" as in Off | Auto | Park | Full or no off at all? Coz the latter would be really gay.

First "ON" position would be a better way of saying what I did. It will have an "OFF" position of course.

I'm not really liking the steering wheel, for some reason it looks like it belongs to a small hatchback.

I was more thinking it needs a couple of thumbsticks to go with the D-Pads....

I am not really liking the alloy wheel design. Looks like something from circa 1988, and definitely will be re-done in the 2014 facelift. I think the steering wheel is okay.

Good eyes, Camry steeriing wheels design is slighly similer to that of the new Yaris hatch. Ofocurse it's a lot larger with way more buttons and feels very nice in your hands too much better than the wheel in either Camry , Aurion or TRD.

Illuminated vanity lights for driver and passenger and rear map lights are part of an option pack. They are not standard even on the Atara SL. See Features and Lighting on Toyota Australia's link for the Atara SL below.

      Part Wanted for 80, 100, 105 Series Landcruiser Spring Cap

      Hi, I am trying to obtain the part pictured, it is called a Spring Cap and it is spot welded to the chassis, called either a Spring Cap or Rear Spring Bumper Unit, the bump stop attaches to it and you can see it neatly inside the rear spring, this can be left or right it has no orientation, I want to buy either new or used. I have tried on some other forums and also many, many wreckers, it is hard to get at so wreckers don't really want to get involved, I was offered one in an 80 series and I could take it out myself for $20.00, Bargain, but they would not allow me to put the wreck on its side to access it and after surveying the job decided I could not do it in the position it was in, is there anyone who wither has one, knows where I can get one or has useful information to help in me finding one, I am happy to pay postage or even drive a bit of distance to remove one from a chassis I can get at? any help appreciated. I am in North Lakes Qld, 35k North of Brisbane. Graeme power

      2016 Aurion Sportivo missing electric blind button

      Hello everyone, Ive just bought a 2016 Aurion Sportivo and was wondering about the electric blind/sunshade button. The car seems to have the hardware for the blind itself (I think but I could be totally wrong) but the button is just missing, with a hole in its place. Does anyone know if it would be as simple as buying a replacement button? I’m not sure what the cabling for the button looks like so I can’t guarantee that the cables are there, though I would assume they are since it seems the actual blind hardware is there? Also, does anyone know what I should do with the other missing button (lane departure switch) hole. Any help would be appreciated

      Rear power door

      Hi Alim, just open your glove box and the button is on the side, you can't miss it. If you don't see a button then you don't have a power tail gate.

      Stereo upgrade

      Does anyone know if any antitheft protocol will activate if I remove the original stereo to upgrade to a multimedia head unit? I have an 06 Kluger CVX, a pretty basic model with not steering wheel controls or anything like that. Cheers.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      MN: ZZE122R Engine: 1ZZ-FE Hi, I'm currently in the final stages of researching about boosting my car which I'm finding is incredibly expensive but oh well car people aren't sensible people. I was looking to make this car a sort of daily but take it to the track and car meets. Anyways I was just looking around at other forums and I couldn't find any that described the type of mods required for a certain power level as I don't want to spend a heap of money when I don't need to however I want to make it kinda reliable so idk. My power goals are between 275-350hp running E85, here are the engine internals I want to upgrade: Monkey Wrench Racing (MWR) 1ZZ-FE Engine Rebuild - Forged Rods, ARP Main and Head Studs, Ported, Upgraded valves, stock 10:1 CR Turbo - GTX2860R Fueling - MWR Injectors 630cc, AEM fuel Pump 340lph, (might do flex fuel), Intake - Billet Centre fed intake, Haltech DBW conversion Boost control - (I'm not too sure what to buy) Intercooler - (Anything that'll fit) I hope I wasn't too vague, I was asking a tuner in my area called Tunehouse (lovely people btw) and all they said was you might have to run a bit of boost so I'm not too sure how to interpret that in this context. Any advice will help, thanks.
