For 2012 introduces a brand new Camry with excellent gas mileage and a stylish makeover exterior wise. One of Toyota most popular cars is by far the Camry. Sales figures bear that out. The car has been the top selling passenger car for 13 of the past 14 years. The Camry was introduced in 1983 and 15 million of them have been sold worldwide.
Toyota has decided to give the Camry a makeover which comes with new styling details, interior changes and more affordable prices. The company introduced the latest Camry with a Hollywood type unveiling at the Paramount Studios lot in Los Angeles as well as on the Internet and some other locations on Tuesday, August 23. It is said that the new Camry is very safe, has the best handling and is much better on gas than ever before.
Gas mileage for the new model will be around thirty five miles per gallon; that is coming pretty close to hybrid territory. The basic version is said to have a fuel economy rating of 35 mpg. The hybrid version is said to achieve an average of 41 miles a gallon. It is the first redesign of the sedan in five years. The car sports a sharper, more pointed hood, a quieter and roomier interior and more trunk space. Internet will be accessible thanks to the Entune system.
Consumers will be glad to know that the 2012 Toyota Camry will be available at an even lower price. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the four-cylinder Camry LE with automatic transmission is now $22,500; this is a two hundred dollar savings. The SE is priced at $23,000, which is about $1,000 less than the previous model.
Top top of the line XLE is $24,725, which is about $2,000 less than its previous model. The price of Camrys coming with six-cylinder engines will not change and manual transmission Camrys will not be offered because of low demand. The hybrid Camry has a starting price of $25,900 and the XLE version has an MSRP of $27,400.
The best year for the Camry in the U.S. was 2007 when 473,108 units were sold. However, through July of this year sales have been slipping. It has been reported that sales of the Camry dropped 7.8 percent from a year ago. Obviously, Toyota has to rock the auto industry and it hopes that its idea of introducing a new Camry among other models will shake things up in their favor.
