(August 26, 2011) Historically the Toyota Camry has been the bestselling car in the U.S. in 13 of the last 14 years, and is on pace for the top spot again in 2011. Additionally Camry accounted for 22 percent of all Toyotas sold in the U.S. in 2010.

So it is not surprise that Toyota played it incredibly safe with its all-new 2012 version, which will reach dealer showrooms on Oct. 3.



Dan Edmunds, Director of Vehicle Testing at Edmunds.com notes, “The company is counting on the redesigned sedan to restore its reputation as a manufacturer of safe and reliable vehicles. The engineering team assigned to the 2012 Camry studied more than double the number of parts as compared to the previous-generation Camry, anticipating any possible issues in the early stages of development and improving the design quality of the parts.

The 2012 Toyota Camry has nearly identical dimensions with the current iteration and will come with mostly carryover powertrains and only mild sheet-metal changes.

But Toyota is counting on improved fuel economy with a new hybrid powertrain, a more elegant interior and streamlined manufacturing to continue the Camry's dominance of the mid-sized segment.
