 While the design is conventional and conservative, there is no doubting that it is a pleasing shape that has well balanced proportions.

The face is now slightly younger, thanks to the deletion of the chrome grille. The lower lip design is reminiscent of a formula one nose and spoiler package and this contributes to the youthful look.

 The rear continues to be bulky and tall, this is concession to luggage carrying ability but at least Toyota is now a bit more adventurous with their surface treatment, sculpting the bumper to give the lower half more character, a bit more.

The rear lamp cluster is a major design feature of the new Camry

 It is a fairly interesting shape and does give the rear a bit more tension and character than usual

 The cabin continues with simple lines and surfaces. Some may doze off.

 This button indicates that the large centre screen probably displays a simplified i-drive type of central command system for the car, or maybe just a way of accessing the entertainment folder system

 built in phone

 Five-hole wheel quite stylised but that is not the same as saying quite stylish

 Overall, the Camry is nice and pleasing and coherent, and features some interesting details, expect it to sell well and find many fans

Toyota Announces Pricing for All-New 2012 Camry and Camry Hybrid

• 2012 Camry Has More Features and All Popular Models are Priced Lower or the Same as 2011s
• Class-Leading Driving Dynamics, Safety Features and MPG
• Camry Begins Arriving at Dealerships in October

TORRANCE, Calif., August 23, 2011 - - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. today announced manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) for the all-new, seventh-generation Camry, America's best-selling car for nine years running and 13 of the past 14 years. The Camry remains an excellent value as all popular models receive either a price decrease or remain flat in comparison to last generation Camry models. The 2012 Camry and Camry Hybrid debut a bold, sophisticated new design with a more spacious interior, class-leading safety features, improved driving dynamics and an even quieter ride than before.

"Despite all of the enhancements to the all-new Camry, prices for all popular models have been reduced with dramatic repositioning on SE, XLE and Hybrid models, representing the best value in the segment," says Bob Carter, Toyota Group Vice President and General Manager. "Competing in the industry's most competitive segment, we expect the Camry to continue as America's best-selling car."

The all-new Toyota Camry is powered by a revised 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i), which features reduced noise and vibration levels and produces 178 horsepower, an increase of nine horsepower, and 170 lbs-ft. of torque. Fuel economy is also improved with EPA estimated mpg ratings of 25 city/35 hwy/28 combined. All four-cylinder models are matched with six-speed automatic transmissions.

The V6 generates 268 horsepower and 248 lbs.-ft. of torque and is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift and has EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 21 city/30 hwy/25 combined.

All 2012 Camrys are equipped with a class-leading 10 standard airbags, and like all Toyota models, the Camry will feature Toyota's Star Safety System™ standard, which includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.
