Traded in the Altima, hello Camry V6

Traded in my 2003 Altima 2.5 SL with 168,800 miles. Picked up a 2012 Toyota Camry SE V6 in Magnetic Gray. Equipped with Display Audio, Navigation, Entune, Convenience Package (Backup Cam, Smart Key System w/ Push Start, HomeLink, Auto Dim) Moonroof & LED DRL's. I was shopping for the 4-banger I4, but Toyota doesn't offer the SE Limited Edition (basically thee I4 SE with the V6 wheels, nav, entune & moon roof) in the color I wanted, so I went with the V6 and I'm loving it. Not planning to do anything but 5000K HID's & 35% tint. I'll have better pics when I get time to take out the 5D Mark II On a side note, I didn't like this Camry at all when they first came out but it slowly grew on me. Didn't see that coming!

EDIT: Click here for the new pics

The LED DRL's are OEM. Although I'm not surprised you thought otherwise. It's like Toyota decided to offer the DRL's at the last minute since every else is doing it, but the DRL's are actually built into the lower bumper inserts.

Thanks for all the comments, I actually like the wheels on the Magnetic Gray.

Yep, the SE's sport tuned suspension is definitely noticeable, more so when taking curves at a nice speed. The only complaint I have is the steering in the V6 is noticeably heavier compared to the I4. Still fun to drive for what it is and when compared to my Altima.

I was just making a smart ass comment referring to this stupid commercial^

I did like the subtle mods on your Altima though. Did you let the wheels go with the car?

Surprised I didn't catch that, I watched that commercial a couple of weeks ago and thought that part was hilarious.

Yep the 2006 SE 5-Spokes went with it, there's also the 16" wheel from the SL in the place of the doughnut -- my intent was to put the doughnut back in there and sell the 16's but I didn't bother going to storage to pick up the doughnut. So whoever buys the Altima will have the nice 5-spokes.....and a car with the catalytic convertor issue & a failing driver side HID headlight (turns purple). I did an OEM HID install so the dealer could fix this if they wanted.

nice car man! glad you didnt get another NISSAN. V6 is the way to go, all it needs is tint and maybe a slight drop in the near future The new camry is growing on me fast too.
