I would defiantly prefer the competition: 6/Accord Euro/Kizashi and even the ugly Liberty (though still being prettier than the Atara). Take a test drive of the different cars, the 6 has the best handling/ride, the Euro has the looks, Kizashi and Liberty are all rounders. The Aurion is also quite nice, I'd get a Presara/ZR6 spec which is a few years old if I were in your shoes (I regret choosing a Grande). The 6th Gen Camry is a bit boring... However, all these things are subjective - as long as you like the car then don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
