I think the biggest obstacle to Chinese brands entering the US isn’t the quality of their products, but poor US-China relations. The way things are, if a Chinese brand started gaining real traction in the US, there’d probably be calls to ban it and other Chinese cars from the country.

It’s a mid-cycle refresh, so yeah, unsurprising that it’s just the old Camry with the new Prius’ headlights.

But given how they knocked out of the park with the new Prius, I’m hopeful the next generation of the Camry will be similarly good-looking.

It looks fine, but I wish they’d have gone with long-hood short-deck RWD proportions. If someone had told me they were bringing back the Accord Coupe and this was the design, I’d have believed them, 100%. They did so much work to make the ICE Acura TLX look like a RWD, then they turn around and make this EV–supposedly free of the design constraints imposed by ICE powertrains–look like a FWD.
