Toyota Camry

After a year of PR crises, natural disasters, and production slowdowns, Toyota is now ready to bounce back with its all new Camry. The Camry has been the market leader in its class for some time, but has recently seen the Hyundai Sonata creep up to steal some of its market share, according to Bloomberg.

In redesigning the Camry for 2012, Toyota shows that it wants to continue earning your business. Toyota has aggressively updated the Camry’s interior in terms of both safety and comfort. The car has also been made more fuel efficient, an attribute that is becoming a specialty of the Prius manufacturer. At the same time, Toyota continues its aggressively affordable pricing schedule. The 2012 Camry appears to offer more for less, versus previous Camry models, and arguably, the competition too.

Comfier

Toyota understands that a family car should be roomy enough to be comfortable for the daily carpools to work as well as the weekend road trips. The 2012 Toyota Camry has overall more elbow room and rear-seat headroom than the 2011 model, as well as a significantly bigger back seat. Toyota also claimed the interior is quieter, and this year’s new suspension provides a smoother ride.

Safer

The 2012 Toyota Camry is chock full of safety features, which include passenger knee and rear seat side airbags, according to Inside Line. Inside Line believe that, as a result of these added safety features, existing airbags, and the use of ultra-high-strength steel, that the car is likely to earn a five-star safety rating.

Greener

If you’re online researching midsize sedans, the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima have probably also popped up on your search engine. The Nissan has been selling well, while Honda Accord sales are remaining constant. Honda’s car has been stagnant this market year, and may be in need of a revamp.

According to U.S. News, here are the pros (+) and cons (-), based on analysis of published reviews and safety and reliability data:

I'm sure all 3 are unique and very nice cars. Those big 3 manufacturers need to look in the rear view mirror though, hyundai is closing in fast!
Go drive a new sonata and load it up then cost compare, you may be surprised. I have been unimpressed with the new 12camry overall build quality and lack of QC, I have seen obvious interior and exterior trim defects that should not have been let off the line up in Ky plant. trash in paint, crappy interior trim / installed poorly, oh and the company big #1 seller riding on bridgestones, hope bridgestone made some changes. has been a most popular tire for consumer complaints. loud and nasty riding tire, these garbage tires even on avalon. dont get me wrong, its all nitpicking. these cars are nice the entune is even cool if you own one of the 3 very specific smartphones that are 100% operational, hope its better for toyota than fords version.
