\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I heard someone say recently that “if you have anything nicer than a Toyota Camry, you are just showing off.”\u00a0 While I cannot wholeheartedly endorse this statement\u00a0with all of it’s varied ramifications, I must admit that\u00a0the\u00a0speaker did\u00a0have a point.\u00a0 The Toyota Camry is a great car, perfect for a wide variety of uses and lifestyles.\u00a0 With 90 percent of the more than 15 million Camrys produced since since its\u00a0introduction in 1983, the Camry has long been\u00a0considered a halmark of the practical man or woman.<\/p>\n

The redesigned\u00a02012 Toyota Camry offers no area disappointment for the practically minded consumer, but it does offer some change in structural makeup.\u00a0 Toyota engineers have worked to increase the vehicle’s overall\u00a0structural rigidity by working in additional high-strength and ultra-high-strength steel in the A- and B-pillars. This new\u00a0material will work to\u00a0cut some of the vehicles\u00a0weight while also beefing up the rigidity of the chassis, which is a good thing.\u00a0 Structural strength is the key to the redesign, with\u00a0a total of 56 new welds spread throughout the chassis for greater rigidity.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that the 2012 version offers some\u00a0improvement on an already near perfectly designed car.\u00a0 The real kicker with this new Camry is the price tag.\u00a0 The 2012 Camry L starts at $21,995.\u00a0 Moving up to the\u00a0LE marks it up to $22,500, about $200 less than the 2011 LE.\u00a0 Spend another\u00a0$500 and you can move up to the four-cylinder-equipped Camry SE, which costs $23,000 and is priced $965 lower than the 2011 model it replaces. The V6 SE will cost $26,400, the same as the\u00a02011 pricing, while the four cylinder\u00a0XLE is running at\u00a0$24,725 ($29,845 if you want\u00a0the V6).\u00a0 This brings the XLE down to $2,000 less than the 2011 model, while the pricing for the V6 version remains consistent with the 2011 price tag.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts can view and test drive any current production model\u00a0Toyota at any Phoenix Valley\u00a0Toyota dealer.\u00a0 Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should plan on attending the Phoenix Arizona International Auto Show to learn about the most recent concepts and innovations\u00a0from\u00a0Toyota and the rest of the auto industry, taking place at the Phoenix Arizona Convention center over Thanksgiving weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I heard someone say recently that “if you have anything nicer than a Toyota Camry, you are just…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1557","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-auto-news","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\n2012 Toyota Camry Adds Strength to Perfection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"2012 Toyota Camry Practical Redesign Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/2012-toyota-camry-adds-strength-to-perfection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"2012 Toyota Camry Adds Strength to Perfection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"2012 Toyota Camry Practical Redesign Phoenix Arizona Valley\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/autos\/2012-toyota-camry-adds-strength-to-perfection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Arizona Auto News -
