The headquarters of Toyota is located in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. It was founded in 1933 by Kiichiro Toyoda. Toyota became in 2007 the first global car manufacturer ahead of General Motors, and it was speculated that in 2008 there would be a production and sales of approximately 9.8 million vehicles along with increased sales. These predictions have come true, although the number of reviews and quality problems have also increased. However, this leadership lasted until 2011, when there was a strong industrial recession in Japan, as a result of the earthquake happened on 11 March this year and among others hit the town of Fukushima. Because of this, Toyota slipped to third place, giving the leadership to General Motors and Volkswagen which came second.

Its name comes from Camry which is the phonetic transcription into English from the Japanese word which means Kanmuri Crown. All generations of the Camry, except the first, were sold as Lexus ES, the second and third as Holden Apollo, and the last three as Daihatsu Altis (in Japan).

The first model of the Toyota Camry came to the United States in 1982 under the name of V20. Since 1997 it has been the best-selling car. Its platform is so successful that was taken as an example to develop many new models like the Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX, Toyota Sienna, and the Toyota Avalon.

In its seventh generation, the Camry has new features in the exterior and interior design, and systems that improve its general operation. The new Camry in 2012 offers improvements in most of its aspects as well as important aesthetic modifications that define it as a new generation model. It is equipped with several electronic systems that enhance safety in its movement and comfort for passengers.

The hybrid version comes with a petrol engine four-cylinder 2.4-liter and 140 hp associated with a 40 hp electric motor. The hybrid version comes with a gasoline engine four cylinders in line 2.4-liter and 140-hp associated with a 40 hp electric engine.

It can display the reverse camera, GPS maps, and audio system controls. Another feature is that it has a panoramic roof or sunroof.

The inverted trapezium-shaped grill holds the Toyota emblem. The design of the lateral side is simple, smooth and lacks moldings. The stylishness of the Camry harmonizes from the front to the back, taking care of its initial design structure. In the rear, the lights are on the dashboard and come together in the door trunk through a molding which also holds the Toyota emblem.
