Yes there is absolutely nothing on the net about the 2012 Camry except the pic of its lights. All other phots are the US version or the current Asian version.

Everybody is really waiting for the new Camry. Hope it gets a new engine and gearbox plus more safety specs.

Thats the current camry in US la.

Thats the specs for the current US Camry la.

The Chinese paper pics are off the current model not the 2012 model.

Did anybody see the pics of the 2012 Camry Hybrid during desert testing in US?

Really ugly if u ask me! If this is design is gonna be for the Malaysian market also, then Toyota is in for a shitty year ahead for sure.

It seems that both Honda and Toyota are moving backwards instead of forwards. First Honda comes up with the 2012 Civic which looks crap and got poor ratings in the US and now Toyota has gone and done the same. Crap!

I think there was an article some time back about the Passat CKD and it mentioned the price but its no where as cheap as Berita Harian claims it to be. Sometimes, they create the hype about prices being cheap to increase public interest in the model.

Thats just a modified Prius. Nothing great but still better looking.

This Camry has been totally outclassed by the Sonata and opcoming Kia Optima. Really disappointing product from Toyota. The worst design from Toyota after the Vios dugong.

Im a Toyota supporter for the past 8 yrs. But the Sonata surely isnt ugly. You must either be blind or have really poor taste.

Resale value is dependent on demand. Right now, Sonata sales are quite ok. Much better sales than previous models. So the resale value will be much better. Of course the Camry is doing much better as expected. So surely its resale value will be better than the Sonata.

But the issue is, can Toyota maintain their sales record with when they launch the crappy new Camry? I doubt. The Camry will still sell but its sales figures will not be as good as the current model.

Well i havent heard of comments that the Lancer was ugly. But the Lancer surely isnt ugly if u ask me. And its sales isnt all that great in Malaysia anyway so your point is?

Well they surely arent bringing in any hybrid versions for the Camry anytime soon at least.

Yes thats what many ppl think as well. Toyota has really gone backward with this. Total disappointment!

Yes i surely agree. The current version looks far better than the upcoming version. But the specs for the newer model should be better.

Friend, u really need to start checking yer facts.

The current Altis has got Dual VVTI and its a 7 speed Super CVT-i.

New Camry will have 6 speed Shiftronic transmission mated to Dual VVTI engine. Interior space and legroom slightly increased.

No. It will be a 6 speed Steptronic. If we're lucky, we could get the version with the paddle shifters. NOt sure about engine capacity though. But as usual, the Asian version will come with many of the US specs missing. The US version has up to 10 airbags.

Has anybody got any additional info about the Asian version besides the pics that came out of Toyota Ukraine?

CVT stands for Continously Variable Transmission. It can change steplessly through an infinite number of effective gear ratios. The flexibility of a CVT allows the driving shaft to maintain a constant angular velocity over a range of output velocities. This can provide better fuel economy compared to other transmissions.

But CVT's are not easy to maintain and require frequent lubricant change. Honda used the CVT on their City but gave it up due to countless number of problems. Now Toyota have started with their 2010 Altis but they claim its a more superior version of the Honda CVT.

Difficult to say which is better or worse. Both are different technologies. But many car makers are now moving towards CVT technology.

Previously i was seriously considering the Mazda3 but when it was launched and i found the rear seats so cramped, i gave that up. Since then, ive been waiting for the Camry. But based on the pics, i dont think ill go for that now. But will decide after the launch here in Malaysia. So currently ive trained my sights on the soon to be locally assembled VW Passat. But unsure about pricing. The Sonata looks really nice and specs are good. So will wait till the facelifted version reaches Malaysian shores before i decide.

Yes i dont think it would be very cheap as well. Im sure its gonna be more than 175K for sure.
