Toyota finds itself in a precarious position. Those that enjoy cars as more than a simple means of transportation think of the Camry as a bland spongecake gone stale. And yet it's been the best-selling vehicle in the entire industry for the past 12 years, with a car rolling off the production line every 65 seconds. So how do you add flavor to your insipid dish without alienating your loyal -- and vast -- customer base?

Enter the 2015 Camry: Toyota's attempt to engage enthusiasts while appeasing to those that think a turbo is nothing but a cartoon snail.

Agree with the title - where it is aptly identified as an appliance.
To me it has a face that only a mother could love...

It's ugly ... but not hideous.

Hyundai and Kia are being a better Toyota.

It hints at all that engine that needs tons of airflow to cool it while it pumps out beastly amounts of power and torque!

This thing is hideous on so many levels. I'll start with the fake black plastic windows along the C pillar that cheapen this car severely. What the hell Toyota? That front end is simply awful with its massive gaping maw. I was also wondering what Mazda was going to do with all of its left over 2007-2013 Mazda 6 taillights but it seems that Toyota has found a place for them on this new Camry.

Fake windows:

Looks like a bigger Corolla. People buy Camry for reliability not for looks.

The front and side don't look bad. The rear belongs on a Hundai or a Kia. Doesn't match the front.

Kind of like the new Malibu. Front looks good, back looks good ... but they do not belong on the same vehicle.
