I just test drove one of these SE V6 Camry and they're so fast..!

Also the engine is velvety smooth, quiet & unruffled

Seriously considering how you get better hwy mileage compared to the 4cyl and city mpg is just 1-2mpg difference..

The power you get compared to the nasty 4-banger is well worth it..

The 2012 camry drives nithing like the previous genereation. Thees an actual driving feel to them, and yes the v6 has gobs of power.. but its not a "1-2 mpg" difference. The 4 is rated at 25,35 the 6, 21,30, and the hybrid is anywhere from 38 to 43mpg, which I actually get in normal driving. Because of that and the hybrid is only like 2200$ more than the v6, I would personally choise the hybrid. But I can understand others wanting the sportier feel of the v6 over the mileage of the hybrid, but for me, I get to drive bad ass street cars and race cars for a living, so a "hot" street car does not do much for me in my day to day driving.

If you enjoyed driving it, then get it. Don't listen to what haters say.

Speed isn't everything. A Miata isn't the fastest car but it handles better then most cars. Even more so considering the price.

I typically go for cars that are good on power and have great handling characteristics but let's be honest, the majority of street driving is done in a straight line. Most people don't care for or appreciate what a good suspension can do in the twisties.
