Toyota Sales Have Recovered With A 60.3% Increase in June 2012 Sales
 

Camry leads the Toyota charge as usual.

Wayne Gerdes - CleanMPG - July 3, 2012

2012 Toyota Camry (Camry Hybrid shown at the Short lead in Cle Elum, WA) - $22,055 to start and a 25/35 mpgUS city/highway rating.

Late last year Toyota introduced the all-new, seventh-generation Camry, with a more aggressive design including more interior volume, improved driving dynamics and an even quieter ride than the previous generation. In addition, they added class leading safety features (10-airbags for one).

The Toyota Camry is available in three powertrain choices. The 2012 Camry can be equipped with the 178 HP 2.5L I4, the 2.5L I4 mated to HSD for a 43/39 city/highway rating and the poor choice 3.5L V6 rated at a pitiful 21/31 mpgUS city/highway.
