Toyota has 2 massive things in store for the Camry when the 2007 model year version of the auto rolls out this coming summer : a total revamp and the supply of a hybrid engine. Already the best selling vehicle in America, the Camry is certain to be overhauled and re-engineered. Let’s take a look at some of the changes prepared for Toyota’s venerable model.
New Styling Cues – Nobody has ever asserted that the Camry is a knock out when it comes to style. Notwithstanding its pedestrian look, the Camry has managed to take advantage of Toyota quality, price, and engineering to present a car that is obviously a best seller. Still, critics have routinely yawned at the Camry’s looks, but which will shortly all change and dramtically at that. Borrowing some styling cues from Toyota’s Lexus line up of top end cars, the 2007 Camry is anticipated to delight motorists and critics alike. Witness the latterly made over Toyota Avalon : what was a tasteless, a bland, full sized car has now been transformed into a graceful, luxurious sedan.
Time For A Hybrid – Toyota is riding the hybrid crest and it will, therefore, introduce hybrid technology into the Camry line up. Like all other Camry models, the hybrid version will also be built in the 1st Toyota hybrid to be built outside of Japan. However, the battery and inverter will be imported from Japan whilst the engine will be Kentucky built. The Camry will join the Prius and the Highlander as the third Toyota model to supply hybrid technology.
More Power – Anticipated to be in the same size range as the current model, the Camry will keep its current 4 and six cylinder engines, but both will be redone enough to crank out additional horsepower without compromising on fuel economy.
The Camry’s chief rival during the last ten years has been the Honda Accord. With a hybrid offering available and an improved appearance prepared the Camry is likely to strengthen its hold on the “top seller” category when the new model is released.
No one knows for sure if the “hybrid phase” is just a fad or something which will at last catch on. With central authority credits still free and high gas costs at the pump, Americans continue to look at hybrids as a viable alternative to parched internal combustion engines. Toyota, for its part, continues to take advantage of this trend and the Camry is the latest vehicle in Toyota’s expanding arsenal to incorporate hybrid technology.
