Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is a midsize car manufactured by Toyota in Georgetown, Kentucky, USA; as well as Australia; and Japan. Since 2001 it has been the top selling car in the United States.
The United States is the Camry's largest consumer market, where it mainly competes with the Honda Accord and the Nissan Altima. The Camry also sells very well in Australia and a number of Asian markets. It has not sold as well in Europe and Japan - many critize its design as ill-suited for European and Japanese tastes. In Japan and Asia, its main rivals are the Nissan Teana and the Honda Accord.
An upbranded luxury version of the Camry is sold under the Lexus ES nameplate in the United States also known as the Windom in Japan.
The Camry name was first launched in 1980 with the Toyota Celica Camry. The first model line independently named the Toyota Camry was launched in 1982 for the 1983 model year. It is primarily configured as a four-door sedan but at different times has also been available as a five-door hatchback, two-door coupe, and a station wagon. An offshoot of the Camry, the Camry Solara, has been available as a coupe and a convertible.
