2012 Toyota Camry???

[tearin]

Basically another facelift of the current generation? It's essentially the ASEAN market Camry and to be honest this is another step backwards. GM also has patent filings of its next Malibu and if it's a facelift too it sure is nice. I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota kept the current Camry with just another facelift the Avalon and Rav4 are doing the same thing. Toyota is going down...

^^I highly doubt it. Its a refresh of the current or the Aurion in Asian markets. If it really is, then Toyota really is in trouble.

Its more bland than bland.

if its true, that is pretty uninspiring

UPDATE: This is one of those times where we make like a point guard who just blew a pass to the open guy on a breakaway, tap our chests, and mouth, "My bad." As some of you noticed, the car pictured above is indeed the current Australian-market Toyota Aurion, itself a derivative of, yes, the Camry. Now, why would the Aurion show up in a U.S. patent filing? Perhaps the car's fascias are headed here as a cheap 'n easy facelift for the Camry. After all, it'd be a pretty significant change (for hyper-conservative Toyota, that is). It also does look better than the current Camry - in a differently-anonymous way. Also, if Toyota is going to Aurion-ize the Camry in the U.S., the least they could do is offer this while they're at it. Right? For a better look at the Aurion in living color, check out the second gallery below.

If its true that they're bringing the Aurion style, I want to see the TRD/ZR6 version! We wont see the TRD supercharger but at least give use the styling.

i doubt they would bring over the look of the TRD however im sure they would use the look of the ZR6 for the SE models

i really wish toyota would use the model names from the aurion

saying that you own a ZR6 sounds so much cooler then saying you own a Camry SE V6

here is a ZR6 btw..

I don't think toyota will release an already released car as an "all new remodeled" model

don't pull it past them... why have the 2010 refresh then if they were just gonna do it again a year later?

these changes are big enough that an average buyer wouldn't know that it wasn't a totally new design. GM used to be notorious for doing that so why wouldn't Toyota especially in these tough times.

on another note i am starting to hate Toyota... my 6 month old 2010 $29k Camry is only worth $20k now... they best be extending our warranties after all this hoopla is over with or this is my last Toyota grrr

If they make that SE like this, then all my mods will be for sale.

Wow, that is definitely an Aurion or an car heavily influenced by the AUrion.

Your right, I HEAR that we might be surprised on the 2012s. But then again look at the NEW 2011 Avalons its called a all new Avalon.
