When was this video taken? The bumper has 3 inlets, looks sort of like the legacy, but i'll wait to see better shots before anything can be concluded.

Yes it will. The 2012 Camry and the Prius V will be the first Toyota vehicles to get the system starting this fall.

Exactly what I thought, evolutionary, thus why some dealers wanted more styling. Not everyone wants something to look like another car or a car that looks like melted soap. Styling is not #1 on many peoples radars, evidenced by the tons of ugly cars that sell well.

Once Toyota gets the specs, interior right and quality right it will be a winner. I know its hard to believe on the internetz but not everyone hates Toyota/Camry and not everyone wants a new Kia/Hyundai.

From what I've heard internally, it should be best in class with the biggest negative safe styling (again). Its a Camry, not a Ferrari.

Wish he had a zoom on that thing. Anyway, it's hard to see the newness of it because it looks not too different from the current car. But the proof will be in the details.

Pretty messed up that the person filmed that. Further proof that people don't care about right or wrong, only what they can get away with.

I hate to say it but it does not look good. Really not as good as the rumors have said. The hybrid grille is hideous. Semms the hybrid has different headlights from other models? And what is up with the foglight surrounding?

Before anyone jumps to conclusions, that does not look like the 2012 US Camry. Notice the pictures are scans from some Japanese source? This looks like the ASEAN Camry, which has had more bland styling compared to the US Camry. Look for yourselves in the pics from that low quality leaked video...the headlights and tails on the car in the scans are different than the Camry models that were presented at the US dealer meeting.

The US Camry hybrid will not look like that, I will bet on it. I'd be surprised if the US Camry looks like this. Besides, these are very poor quality scans. Yet another leak of poor quality photos.

Toyota, you need to release OFFICIAL pics and specs about the Camry ASAP!

But enough about the exterior, the big news is FINALLY an interior pic, which will be VERY close to what we get. Surprised nobody has commented yet, but that is pretty much the interior I saw a while ago. Class leading interior right there. Now imagine that interior in the scans, only with a leather dash and multi-colored leather seats in the interior. Toyota is back, and the competition should be worried.

^ Differently shaped headlights and taillights from the other shots we've seen on this supposed hybrid model? That would be a first, and an expensive first. These simpler lights are better looking IMO. The grill, not so much.
