different needs

US is more for sporty because those US uncles usually drives a Mercedes/BMW/Audi/Lincoln/Cadillac. Camry is like a fresh grad's car of choice.

Asia usually uncles drives Camry/Accord/Cefiro@Teana so need an uncle looking one for these Asian uncles.

so no news when will it be coming here???? wonder if we have to wait till 2013...

likely second half year of 2012

Is there an English version ah? And why is there so few views on its rear end?

Can someone check and tell me the gear box specs for the 2.0L model?

So far what ive got for the 2.0L model is that its 1465kg with 146HP and 190Nm torque. Not much improvement from the current model which is a disappointment. Even the new Kia Optima churns out 165HP & 198Nm torque. The Forte 2.0L also gives out 154Hp & 194Nm.

The 2.5L only churns out 181Hp and 235Nm torque which isnt all that great for a new generation D segment car.

Dimensions wise, overall length for the 2.0L is 4826mm and wheelbase 2775 compared to 4845mm & 2795 on the Kia Optima.

go for 2.5L

No la. Not gonna go that far. 2.0L is sufficient but i dont think its gonna be a Camry. Do u know about the gearbox for the Camry 2.0L?

4 speed tranny

Thats real crap if u ask me. First they come up with a car design thats actually backward, then they use the same engine with pathetic power output figures and now even the gearbox is still 4 speed?? Ive virtually made up my mind about not buying a Camry for sure.

Does the 2.5L model come with a 6 speed gearbox?

locally, it's using the Super-ECT gated shifters....5-speed for 2.4, 2.0s are 4-speed.

don't know why they are putting the Super-CVT on Altis...since Altis is branded as Toyota's most reliable car....and not in Camry as well....weird direction.

i am also wondering.... why would Camry used a cheaper gearbox than Altis? Or is it the information given now are all false?

Camry heavy cars... Belt driven CVT will no do good in Camry...

For heavy Car it is better to use Ball Joint CVT like in Audi...

currently Altis is a belt driven CVT...

Belt or joint, doesnt matter. A D segment car in 2012 from a premier manufacturer like Toyota that comes with a 4 speed gearbox deserves to be thrashed. Plain and easy. No wonder there was little interest in this thread from the start.

yeah cause Toyota giving JUNK to malaysia and we take it like holy grail of car!!! basically toyota now a days concentrate all the good technology to Lexus and what Toyota (we are getting) is a out dated Engine and Technology from Lexus... pity...

If the new Camry 2012 is still using the same 2.0cc engine and 4 speed gearbox from the previous gen, expect tremendous bashing from everyone. Well dont think it will impact sales since it's a T brand anyhow.

Who knows in the facelifted version they introduced a Dual VVTI one or newer direct injection engines. Currently Toyota is aware of building direct injected and turbo charged engines and they moving that direction now. Well, better late than never.
