Which is basically what I said back on January 27th. ALL Toyotas work this way.

Most cars will start more quickly when hot than when cold. That's normal too.

Why don't you stop worrying about a non-problem and maybe go wash the car or something else more productive?

Thanks! Washing the car involves real work; this one involves only superficial thinking

All kidding aside, I am just curious. Another reason is that my son who is going to get this car as soon as he gets his licence next month keeps on bugging me to "fix it" or "at least put a new engine in it"! Even he noticed that the Camry cranks longer than Odyssey or Maxima. Mind you, he does not even know how to pop up the hood. My sons skipped my mechanical genes :-(
