Toyota Introduces Seventh-Generation Camry for 2012

"The all-new 2012 Camry blends an evolution of the car's values – such as comfort, efficiency, reliability and safety – with a more appealing design and engaging driving experience," said , Toyota Division group vice president and general manager.  "Competition in the midsize sedan segment is the strongest it's ever been, and the all-new Camry is designed to maintain its long-standing leadership while also broadening its appeal."

The Toyota Camry again offers three powertrain choices, all of which have been enhanced for 2012 to provide better fuel economy and more responsive performance. All Camry models with the revised 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine now offer 178 horsepower, an increase of nine hp, and 170 lb.-ft. of peak torque.  EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are 25 mpg city/35 highway, and the 28 mpg combined is two more than the previous generation Camry. The 2.5-liter engine employs Dual VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent), which controls valve timing on both the intake and exhaust camshafts for optimal performance and efficiency at all engine speeds. The Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS) helps optimize torque over a broad engine speed range.

Performance and Efficiency

The DOHC 3.5-liter V6, available in the SE and XLE grades, delivers 268 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of peak torque at 4,700 rpm. Enhancements to this engine boost its fuel economy to projected EPA-estimated ratings of 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway, the best for any current V6 midsize sedan.

Jameslist – for sale: Chevrolet Chevelle SS (45900 USD), located in ...

In the automotive world, there aren’t many problems that better components won’t solve. We all know that a big-block powered Chevelle is a hell of a car. But when you add an even BIGGER big block and a better suspension it becomes a lust worthy machine that’ll please any crowd anywhere. This killer 1970 Chevelle Super Sport packs 502 cubic inches of ZZ502 crate motor and a drag strip ready suspension into one of the most compelling pieces of Chevy muscle we’ve seen in a long time.

Frame up restored in 2008, this Chevelle was repainted in its original GM code 14 Cortez Silver and features a correct black vinyl top and gloss black Super Sport racing stripes. The cars original body panels retain their factory correct gaps and were expertly prepared to be a smooth and wave-free canvas for the revealing silver paint. The result is a great finish that emphasizes the lines of this classic Chevrolet and gets the car instant attention wherever it goes. Up front, a new or re-chromed original bumper features a show quality finish that looks great against the cars silver body. At the edges of the bumper, correct marker lights sit below clear headlights that are housed in correct stainless bezels. Between those headlights, a traditional black Chevelle grille stands out against the cars silver body panels and displays a pristine white “SS” grille emblem. Above the grille, a correct cowl induction hood is dressed in black stripes and features correct hood pins and correct “Cowl Induction” badging. At the sides of the car, the Cortez Silver paint highlights powerful, bulging fenders while the stainless trimmed vinyl top provides onlookers with the visual impression of looking at a convertible. Stainless trim around the wheel openings looks as good as new and perfectly matches the cars optional stainless drip moldings. Factory fresh chrome door handles combine with chrome side mirrors to add form and function while original style “SS” front fender emblems sit above red “502″ scripts that are subtle but intimidating. At the back of the car, a second show quality chrome bumper houses a great looking black SS insert which combines with the stainless trimmed black top and black Super Sport stripes to give the car a very balanced look. Two chrome trimmed tail lights sit above correct stainless exhaust tips and a pristine “Chevelle by Chevrolet” emblem occupies the passenger’s side of the trunk lid. Glass is new all around and tinted as original, and weatherstripping is fresh and free of crack or tears. A lot of people say silver is a boring color, but this Chevelle has a ton of presence in Cortez Silver with black accents.
