djinn Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I just looked at the new Camry model marketed in US New body,many emhancements;see here http://www.toyota.com/camry/photo-gallery.html But I fear we will have to wait a lot as Toyota just launched her the Hybrid with the "old" body. http://www.toyota.co.th/th/models/camry/camry_hybrid/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I asked the same thing a few months ago and the answer was that it should be launched in December at the BKK auto show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathbyDurian Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Looking at the USA price leaves me shaking my head at the cost here. No Kidding! Basic model price USA: $19,395 = 661,481 Baht Basic model price Thailand: Baht 1,214,000 = $35,694 Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Plus throw in the difference in labor costs between the us manufactured toyotas vs. thai manufactured toyotas and there's some serious margins on the toyotas for the tax man and the manufacturer in thailand. I do think these new camrys don't look very good compared to the old model or the accords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spec is very different, low spec Camrys without leatherseats, electric gismos and such are not sold in LOS. LOS price include all taxes, fees, roadtax and usually 1st year insurance. secondhand value in 3 years is normally 70%. Try that in the US. Total costs for an identical spec Camry in US and LOS for 3 years is very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no new Camry in US - just face-lifting And Camry in Thailand jast has a face-lifting also Not sure.Read carefully the specs of the "US" Camry and you will see this one has many improvements on the actual one (more airbags...) The body and especcally the front of the car reflects the general appearance of Toyota cars in Europ for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
