Sweet!!! I was actually thinking of getting a Camry, for a DD and family cruiser, even though I dont have a family. I love their v6 that makes all that power, but it only comes in a 6spd auto. I know their 2.4 comes in a 5spd manual, might have to test drive it just to see how quick it really is.

What surprises me is that the LE5 didn't make it into the top for NA motors. The LNF is based off it. My second SS has the LE5 with the F23 trans (my first is the LSJ). That LE5 is a really good engine. just ask Hahn about their stage 4 LE5 on stock internals. 400hp!

coming from the same people that named the GTR car of the year, it doesn't really mean much.

The LSJ won Ward's best engine of the year when it came out as well.
