Toyota Camry
Friday, January 4, 2008
The Toyota Camry is a mid-size car assembled by Toyota in Georgetown, Kentucky, Altona, Victoria, Guangzhou, China and the original factory in Tsutsumi (Japan). In some markets, the top range Camry models are seen as executive cars. The Camry has been the best selling car in the United States, its largest consumer market, for nine of the last ten years starting in 1997, with the only exception being 2001. The Camry also sells very well in Australia, Canada, and a number of Asian markets - in particular Cambodia where the vast majority of cars are Camrys.
It has not sold as well in Europe and Japan; many criticize its design as ill-suited for European and Japanese tastes. An up-branded luxury version of the Camry was sold in Japan as the Toyota Windom until 2006; the related Lexus ES in North America, Asia, and the Middle East shares major chassis and drivetrain components with the Camry.
The name "Camry" comes from a phonetic transcription of the Japanese word kanmuri, which means "crown", as did the names of the Toyota Crown, Corolla and Corona.
