Toyota Camry a Hybrid for a Leader
Toyota has two gigantic things in store for the Camry when the 2007 model year version of the vehicle rolls out this coming summer : a total redesign 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 have a look at some of the changes scheduled for Toyota's venerable model.
New Styling Cues - No-one has ever claimed the Camry is a knock out when it comes to style. Regardless of its pedestrian look, the Camry has managed to take advantage of Toyota quality, price, and engineering to present a vehicle that is clearly a best seller. Still, critics have typically yawned at the Camry's looks, but which will soon all change and dramtically at that. Borrowing some styling cues from Toyota's Lexus line up of luxury cars, the 2007 Camry is predicted to please motorists and critics alike. Witness the recently made over Toyota Avalon : what used to be a bland, full sized car has now been transformed into a graceful, splendid sedan.
Time For A Hybrid - Toyota is riding the hybrid crest and it will, introduce hybrid technology into the Camry line up. Like all other Camry models, the hybrid version will also be built in the first Toyota hybrid to be built outside of Japan. However, the battery and inverter will be imported from Japan while the engine will be Kentucky built. The Camry will join the Prius and the Highlander as the 3rd Toyota model to supply hybrid technology.
More Power - Anticipated to be in the same size range as the Camry will keep its current model, the Camry will keep its current four and six cylinder engines, but both will be reworked enough to crank out additional horsepower without compromising on fuel economy.
The Camry's chief rival during the past decade has been the Honda Accord. With a hybrid offering available and a better appearance in effect the Camry is likely to brace its hold on the "top seller" class when the new model is released.
No one knows for sure if the "hybrid phase" is simply a trend or something which will ultimately catch on. With government credits still available and high gas costs at the pump, Americans continue to look at hybrids as a workable 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 arms depot to incorporate hybrid technology.
