New Toyota Camry Arrives

The Toyota Camry isn't a car that one gets wildly excited about. After all, it's been the best selling car in the U.S. in 13 of the last 14 years and more than nine million have gone to happy owners since its debut in 1983. But they've just announced the brand new 2012 model.

The thing is, the Camry is ubiquitous and everpresent. I always seem to be behind one on the bridge on the way to work. They come in neutral colors. And this new one, while contemporary, breaks no new ground. It actually seems more simple and conservative than the previous model, which flaunted some unusual body detailing, especially around the wheels and at the tail.

Of course, I'll have to test one in person and see the car in three dimensions. Something tells me that this essentially all-American car, built in Georgetown, Kentucky for a quarter of a century, will rack up another best-selling year.

Besides, the new Camry is set to be the pace car for next year's Daytona 500! How all-American is that?
