Brief Overview
First introduced in 1982, the Toyota Camry became the manufacturer’s second product to be sold internationally, right after the Corolla. Judging by the etymology behind the name, one could conclude that the Camry is amongst Toyota’s most valued designs. The word “Camry” is a phonetic transcription of the Japanese word for crown (kanmuri), making the model only the fourth of its kind whose name was derived from this particular word.
The first three models to receive this honor is 1955’s Toyota Crown, 1957’s Toyota Corona, and 1966’s Toyota Corolla, with “Corolla” being the Latin word for “crown”. Disregarding the year 2001, the Toyota Camry has been the best-selling passenger car in the United States from 1997 up to 2013.

Those with trouble parking can say goodbye to their frustrations as they utilize the rear view camera. And for those who fancy themselves a road trip every now and then, you’ll enjoy maximum entertainment with the vehicle’s six speakers topped off with a speed-sensitive volume control. Your passengers will have no choice but to sing-a-long to the awesome acoustics.
