We've gone throught his before. The Camry's layout was made for OLDER CUSTOMERS and looks like a BUICK. Because of the lack of a vertical stack in the new Camry, the flow of the dash flows horizontally. With the placement of stereo up high and the center vents sitting next each side and the climate control unit below plus a full horizontal belt that runs all the way across, the theme is mimicing a BUICK. The dash is like a BIG HORIZONTAL BAR.






And to prove my point about the Camry being the Buick class of the Japanese midsize, the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis has a similar layout too:
