The newer Camry's are actually larger, although headroom may be an
exception. The springs and shocks on your older Camry may be worn which
gives a softer ride. Also, when was the last time you checked your tire
pressure.
One other possible explanation is that Camry's from Japan come with very
high air pressure in the tires (so they can pack them tighter on the ship),
and they are supposed to be deflated by the dealer to normal pressure upon
delivery, but they don't always do that. This can cause an extremely harsh
ride. When I took delivery of my Camry, I almost freaked out until I
realized it was the tire pressure.
