Default New Generation '12 Camry will be available for sale in Sept.

That news according to a guy on a Camry forum who works on the Camry line in KY.

"Expect to see it showroom floors in September. QCS (sellable units) vehicles will start being built in August, with official start of full production being in September"

I hope the interior is an improvement over the present-generation model. There are several things inside I am not impressed with at all.

Rumor has it that the interior is more Lexus like.
We'll see.

If they improve the Camry interior, which I have no issues with, they better improve the ES interior. I don't want it to be way to closely related like Honda/Acura products.

So I guess it won't debut at any major auto show?

I have a Camry hybrid and the interior isn't great but not bad.I think MMarshall doesn't like the quality of the non climate control big *****.
Toyota may improve the ES with it's new design in '13.If '13 is the new generation year

I guess not. As I recall, the 2002 Camry also never had an auto show debut. It simply went on sale in September of that year just as this one will.

Good info. Toyota's approach is more about the product, less about car show hoopla.

well apparently some Camry models will have leather around the dash, like CTh.. So ES beware!

probably not going to be in the market for camry, but i am eager to see what it's like. i think it will be a good benchmark for cars in its segment, and also determine how the line for further luxurious cars would be

i do expect it to still be conservative, it is vanilla ice cream!

but I have high hopes for it after CTh was released... i have to see someone report an issue with CT, and we all remember how previous Lexus(Toyota) went with minor glitches and sometimes major.
