UPDATE: 2010 Toyota Camry: Detroit Reveal Makes Us Crave Vanilla Ice Cream

Not really. We're almost 100% sure the top photo, uncovered by the very strange-to-look-at Vince Burlapp, is a Toyota Aurion, the Camry's Australian sibling, and not the 2010 Toyota Camry. Though it isn't the new, next-generation Camry, it is a reminder America's best-selling mid-size car will likely get a makeover soon. Rather than the more bland styling of the Aurion, we suspect the next face lift for the Camry will include the sharper headlights of the Matrix and U-shaped grille of the new Corolla. We've also been told to expect the next Camry update to include at least one new engine. We do not, however, expect it to come in flavors other than vanilla.[Burlapp Cars] More »

Back in May, we ran a post about how one Illinois officer received his comeuppance for doing his job by having his cruiser get ran over by a Camry. We now bring you the in-car video from the cop's perspective. The jury's still out on whether the 70-year old driver intended to dole out the harshness Killdozer-style or if he simply selected the wrong gear before trying to speed away angrily. We are leaning towards the former, which is evidenced by the screaming engine as the Camry driver keeps the gas planted even after mounting the Crown Vic. Hit the jump for the video. More »

The hybrid version of the Toyota Camry is, behind the Toyota Prius, the best-selling hybrid in America, but there are at least ten other cars for sale this year that get better EPA-estimated mileage on the city, highway or combined cycles. Some are diesels, some are hybrids and some are just light-weight cars with smaller displacement motors. But all share one thing in common — they're more fuel efficient. So why's the Camry Hybrid selling so well? Your answer's as good as ours. More »

China's Guangzhou Auto and Toyota have been going steady for about 10 years now, with GA building Toyotas for the masses and happily rolling in profit. But now Guangzhou wants to take the relationship to the next level and build their own car off the Toyota Camry platform. In a recently inked deal, Guangzhou will get the rights to do just that, building a people's super number one best Chinese-Japanese platform prostitute. The resulting car will be one of 100,000 cars built annually at a new facility to be opened in 2010. Update: Interestingly the original story in ChinaCarTimes has been removed, however it does live on in RSS readers everywhere. More »

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama will be attempting to reach red state audiences by sponsoring a NASCAR Sprint Cup car for the Pocono race on August 3rd of this year. Assuming no one gives it the red flag, this will be the first time that a presidential candidate has officially sponsored a NASCAR entrant. The one-time sponsorship deal is part of a larger "get out the vote" and "make John McCain spend all his money" initiative by the campaign. The #49 car is run by BAM Racing and will be driven by Ken Schrader. Of course, it's a Toyota. More »

The death of a Japanese Toyota engineer in January 2006 has now been attributed to working too many hours according to an official ruling this past month. The 45-year-old man, lead engineer on the Toyota Camry Hybrid, was reportedly working an average of 80 hours overtime per month during the several months before his death from ischemic heart disease. The official ruling allows his family to collect benefits from his work insurance, and Toyota is saying they will work to improve monitoring of the health of their workers. Let's hope they mean it, because this occurence, known as "karoshi," has steadily increased since the Health Ministry first recognized the phenomenon in 1987. More »

It's interesting to see where automakers are placing their chips these days. Toyota is expanding production of its popular Toyota Camry Hybrid to Thailand. Toyota wants to break the million mark for annual hybrid sales in the next decade and a way to do that is to start building hybrids in markets with significant demand, including 9,000 hybrid Camrys in Thailand. Let's contrast Toyota's response with GM. The automaker just announced the power numbers on the new Cadillac CTS-V and they just let Hertz fly with their release on the new Corvette ZHZ rent-a-racer. Hmm. We feel like maybe there's a slight difference in PR strategy here — but we can't quite put our finger on it. Press release below the jump. More »

After an eleventy-billion year reign as the nation's top seller, it looks as though the Ford F-150 has stumbled for at least one month.The month of May saw the Honda Civic overtake the F-150 in sales putting the Ford down in fourth place. Whaaa!? Indeed, 42,973 F-series trucks sold in May, against 52,826 Corollas, 51,291 Camrys and 53,299 Honda Civics. Since we know Toyota counts the Matrix towards Corolla sales, we'll discount that figure, but who cares? As we called (sorta) yesterday, Civic for the win. According to Jim Farley, Ford group vice president for marketing and communications, "That's just a sign of the times. I think May has been a watershed month." Do people care about gas prices? We think this means the answer is "yes." [Automotive News (Subscription required)] More »

Everyone gets a miffed when the cops write you a ticket. Even though you may have gotten nabbed and don't feel it's fair, that's no reason to back up and over the officers squad car. Well, according to the Daily Herald, 70-year-old Henry Raskin of Niles, Illinois was pretty miffed at the ticket he received, so miffed in fact that he intended to speed away from the cop. Problem is the car was in reverse. As a result, you can see yet another classic instance of the automotive mating ritual . We're sure this was only an accident and the officer was totally understanding. More »

We like when dealers try and take advantage of trends to make the special editions that the automakers were just too wimpy or cheap to attempt. In this case, we've got a Toyota dealer that's taking advantage of Tony Stewart and his racing a Camry in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. How does it work? Take a black Toyota Camry, add gaudy orange touches, blacked-out NASCAR wheels, festoon with the #20 and charge an additional $7K. This makes sense to us as most NASCAR fans drive Toyotas, right? One thing you'll notice has not been added to this car is the name "Tony Stewart" as this would almost certainly draw a lawsuit. Anyone have an idea what stadium this is outside of? More »
