Surprised no one has commented on that line yet!
Still up to Toyota AU how they want to market it.

With the SV21 (first FWD Camry we had) they simply called it a Camry V6, and restricted the trim levels it was available in.

With the following "wide body" Camry in circa '92 they introduced the Vienta name for the V6, and stuck with Camry for the 4. There was no sheetmetal or other distinguishing differences (except the 2nd gen "Apollo" spinoff).

It swung back to Camry as a solo name for both engine types several more models, until the Aurion - with a unique nose & tail treatment, became the distinct V6 model - around mid-late '06 from memory?

So it wouldn't surprise me if they go either way - simply calling it a Camry V6, or perhaps a unique name for the V6 like they did with the Vienta, and no external visual clues beyond the badge.
