Nice!
Sharp car!
My wife has a silver 2007 Camry V6 XLE. She got it May 2006 and has 11K on it. Aside from a faulty rear roll shade, it has been flawless. She loves it. It's fully loaded with push-button start and factory NAV.
Compared to my 2004 Runner I do like her JBL stereo and newer NAV (with Bluetooth) as welll as the acceleration and gas mileage!
My wife compared the Camry to the ES350 and aside from the Lexus' MUCH nicer interior, she didn't feel the extra 8 - 10K was worth it for her. (Oh well no matter, I invested the $ diference in stocks!) The XLE has rear reclining seats as well. I gave my 1992 Camry to my daughter (195K!) and I must admit the 2007 has more rear leg and hip room. I do think Toyota cheapened the interior of the new model (more hard plastic), but it is still comparable to the competition. While the SE does handle somewhat better than the softer suspesion of the XLE, they are both a bit too soft for my tastes. The "comfort" ride suits the wife just fine though. The V6 does move out with authority and only gets slightly worse gas mileage than the much lower hp I4. She averages 22 mpg in city, 31 - 32 highway, and about 26 - 27 combined. Not too shabby for the power.
Congratulations to your wife!

My favorite thing
My favorite thing on my wifes Camry SE is the JBL stereo (option code EJ).
440 watt externally amplified, 6 disc changer, bluetooth capable, and aux input.
With an ipod plugged into the aux input, the output of the stereo is great!!! sounds like 2 8" subs are in the car.....
Also, I love how the gauges/stereo glow blue at night, i have to dim the lights on dark roads because they are so bright they make my face glow blue!!!

It's basically 8 speakers in 6 locations. The rear deck speakers are the new ones...supposedly, the tweeter and woofer are totally independent of each other (not the typical coaxial arrangement). The woofer acts together like a subwoofer.
Here is a review of the JBL by Edmunds: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=115799/pageId=98530
