As far as I can tell, it looks exactly the same...

That confirms it, BUY A MALIBU.

@Viz
YOU go buy a Malibu.
I'd buy a new Malibu only if the only cars on the market were Sebrings and Malibus. At this point I'd probably take public transportation instead.

Sure, when Malibu is available with a manual tranny

Malibu is a nice car, but why buy from a company that may not even be here come March 31st?
Jake B 10:06PM (2/13/2009)
Sea Urchin are you really that dense? Companies can file for bankruptcy and still hang around. There is absolutely ZERO chance that our government would allow GM to disappear IF GM faced total dissolution, which is very very unlikely. It is fear mongers like you that saturate our media and try to tell us the sky is falling every day.

Jake B, sorry bro, but it was CEO of GM who said that if the company won't get bailout that the most likely scenario is Ch 7.
GM has to show Congress its viability plan in a few weeks now, i don't see anything so far.
I am by no mean cheering against GM, competition is what makes great cars, the more the better, but i am simply pointing out that it makes sense to buy from a manufacturer that is not on the brink.
If Circuit City and Best buy had the same TV, that costs the same, would you buy from CC knowing fully well that the company is dead? You know that the warranty is with 3rd party, so it won't affect your TV, but would you still buy from CC?

Cars are a little different son. If someday aliens destroyed GM off of the face of the earth, there would still be a demand for their engines, transmissions, body pieces, etc... You name it, someone would make it anyway. In the .001% chance that GM ceases to exist, someone will still sell parts and service, you must be kidding yourself to think otherwise.

Jake B you speak very true words. Ive been trying to tell people that since this crisis started but but for some reason many people just do not understand.

what is so "refreshing" about a new hard-edged geometric front valence that no longer flows with the elegant, sinuous lines of the entire body--read character lines?

If you think the Camry has "elegant, sinuous lines", what do you think of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione?????????????????????????
jinsei888 6:29PM (2/13/2009)
@Mazda FTW!
We're talking about a mid-range, large volume sedan here. The Alfa Romeo is an irrelevant point to discuss. We are discussing the refreshed design of the Toyota Camry, not gauging the ranges of individual taste/perspective. That is all.
hhsohn 7:22PM (2/13/2009)
Heh, I think you just admitted to using wrong set of descriptors for Camry to begin with. Mazda6 comes the closest to those adjectives if we're limited to mid-sized sedans.
Derek 9:08AM (2/14/2009)
Sinuous? Hard edged? Character lines? You sure aren't looking at the same gallery that I see. The whole thing looks remarkably blob-like.
