Default Toyota tells dealers 19 new models in 2012

http://www.freep.com/article/2012020...S01/202070352/

redesigned Avalon due out in November. hopefully new RAV4 soon which has been on sale for over 6 years now. IMO, Corolla needs a redesign against fresh competition, Civic, Focus, Cruze, Elantra

LOL I was just about to say that so I guess I'm third to the party

As ugly as I think they are they are pretty good little cars and have the history to back it up. I just hope the new line-up of vehicles they produce look better than the new Camry...Mechhh, I can't get the picture of the squared off rear bumper out of my head...it's like hummer and japan had a baby...

So LS is mid size, Camry is little, and IS is micro. LOL

^^^ yeah, the design of the new Camry is not the best one. The older ones looked solid, the newer looks a bit cheaper for some reason yet, I see so many of them in NYC already. I even saw a few taxis

Jeez, they need it though. I think Toyota is the most boring line of cars I've seen in a long time as great as they are in other aspects, even Lexus is a complete snoozefest these days

Bring a Z/G competitor please, I'd trade my Z34 in on one in a heartbeat.

RAV4 needs a redesign very very bad. It has been 6 years since the last redesign.
Tundra/Sequoia, as well as Tacoma too, they has been on sale since 2007.
Venza, Corolla, probably will see some MMC.
New Avalon and 2 new Prius.
Hmm, I can't count 19 new models, maybe they count all different trims too?

I think the Camry already needs a redesign as does the Corolla. They're even more bland looking than the models that preceeded them.

Tacoma is NEW for 2012 but hard to tell the differences.
