NGL the 3.5 V6 Camry is one of those things that we remember and think of fondly... but the reality doesn't match the expectation.
The chassis is quite playful and the steering quite communicate on eco tires but....
1st to 2nd gear upshift at redline drops you to 2500???? RPM, endless gear hunting, wheel hop for days, the overall comfort (short seat bolsters, mirrors that vibrate above 110, hella road and wind noise) make it a bust.
TRD damping is all wrong and it rides like it's on racelands lol, very little compliance.
ESP with Toyota pricing these days, if you can stomach the image, I would take any trim of Charger (incl the base V6) over a V6 Camry.
It goes around corners better, way more comfortable, & the trans/powertrain do logical things when you step on it.
