Wow Camry and TSX are twins....


...if you stretch your imagination.




First off, front pics. The bumper's are even close to being the same. TSX has 3 holes and the camry has 1 with painted grille.

The front grille is different. TSX is 'V' shaped and the camry is oval shaped.


Headlights. TSX gets thick fron the center of the car and gets smaller as it reaches the fender. Camry is opposite being thin from inside and gradually becoming thick to the side fender.

The rear, if you can mistaken the rear of a TSX to the rear of a camry, your on crack.

TSX is more sqaured while the camry is rounded. The center area holding the license plate is square on the camry and more trapazoidel on the TSX. TSX has dual exhuast and camry has 1. TSX has discntinct round circles in the lights while camry is just plain. Camry has no rear reflecters on the lower pary of the car unlike the TSX. TSX has no antenna. The rear bumper of the camry looks like a 'lip' while there is no real 'lip' on the TSX.

Nice try though.

i dont like the reflectors in the rear bumper cover. just the weird taillights with those reflectors was bad.

i guess they do not have the reflectors in non -US markets so its a bit cleaner there.

i used to think the BMW 3 series rear looked sort of plain, but i think its better than the funky curved taillights, and opposite curve reflectors of the IS.

also having driven both gs430 and is350, a lot of the reviews are right the is350 really is a BABY gs430. a really really baby one with no interior space that handles about the same in curves.

it was really a huge disappointement for me driving it.
