Toyota Camry OverView La Crescenta

2011 Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry is the most popular midsize car sold in America. It does everything very well and is known for its quality, reliability and resale value. It's comfortable, easy to operate and an easy car to live with in a hectic world. It's pleasant to drive in all circumstances.

Camry seats five in comfort yet it's relatively compact and easy to park. It's smooth and quiet, but it can accelerate with vigor. Its cabin is attractive, functional and refined, while its styling is aerodynamic and shows vitality.

Models range from the well-equipped base Camry to the near-luxury Camry XLE. In between are the popular LE, a modest step up from the base and available with the V6, and the SE, decked out with suspension, tires and trim to please the sporty crowd. All Camry models offer good EPA mileage ratings and low emissions in their respective categories.

The Camry Hybrid offers the best fuel economy, featuring a hybrid gasoline/electric powertrain with an efficient continuously variable transmission. The Hybrid is a good performer and one of the most fuel-efficient mid-size vehicles anywhere.

For 2010, Toyota Camry  comes standard with a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Equipped with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i), the new engine is rated at 169 horsepower for the Camry, LE and XLE trim levels and 179 hp for the sporty SE. Those are substantial increases over last year's 158 horsepower. The four-cylinder can be matched with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The new 2.5-liter four-cylinder promises more ease when driving away from stoplights, running with freeway traffic and climbing hills.

Camry V6 models get a 268-horspower 3.5-liter engine and a six-speed automatic with manual shift feature.

The 2010 Camry gets a new grille and front bumper, an enlarged lower intake opening, larger headlamps and restyled taillamps. The base and LE trim levels have restyled steel wheel covers; the XLE has new 10-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels, while the SE gets new 17-inch alloys. The Camry Hybrid has a unique grille, a distinct front bumper, a wider lower intake opening, restyled fog lamps and 16-inch alloy wheels.

2011 Camry models come standard with Vehicle Stability Control with traction control. Automatic up/down windows on all four doors is standard across the line, and the Hybrid has a new meter cluster and a new seating fabric that is part silk protein and part synthetic fiber and is claimed to be exceptionally gentle to the touch.

Since its debut in the United States well over two decades ago, the Camry has earned a reputation for smart design, pleasing function, great build quality and long-term durability. It's not all hype. The Toyota Camry remains the benchmark by which its competitors are judged.

Model Lineup In La Crescenta, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and Los Angeles Toyota Dealers.

The 2011 Toyota Camry comes in base, LE, sporty SE, luxury-equipped XLE, and the Camry Hybrid. The base Camry ($19,395) comes with cloth upholstery, air conditioning and pollen filter, cruise control, power windows and mirrors, manual tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a multi-function information display with outside temperature, a 160-watt stereo with six speakers, single CD player and auxiliary jack for MP3 devices, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and 16-inch steel wheels. The Camry LE ($20,850) and LE V6 ($24,565) add an eight-way power driver's seat and remote keyless entry.

The Camry SE ($22,165) and SE V6 ($25,840) add a firmer, lowered suspension, flashy styling cues, unique interior trim, fog lights and P215/55R17 tires on 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

The Camry XLE ($25,925) features glossy wood-grain interior trim and comes standard with the automatic. XLE models add dual-zone auto climate control with an electronic ion filter, a JBL audio upgrade with 440 watts, six-CD changer, Bluetooth wireless telephone interface, power passenger seat, power sunroof, split 40/20/40 reclining rear seat, rear reading lamps, manual rear-window sunshade, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Leather comes standard on the XLE V6 ($29,045).

The Camry Hybrid  ($26,150) has a 147-hp version of the four-cylinder engine, matched with an electric motor and continuously variable transmission. The motor augments the gas engine's performance and captures energy that would otherwise be wasted as the car slows and brakes, so it can reduce fuel consumption substantially. The Hybrid is equipped comparably to the XLE four-cylinder, but adds Toyota's Smart Key pushbutton-start feature.

Options include premium JBL audio ($1,100) for the LE and SE; it can be packaged with a voice-activated navigation system in the SE V6 ($2,820) or XLE ($1,810). Stand-alone options include power tilt/slide sunroof ($940), Leather Package for SE V6 ($1,210) and Hybrid ($1,295), heated front seats ($440), auto-dimming rearview mirror ($150), heated outside mirrors ($30), and 16-inch alloy wheels ($410). Not all options are available for all trim levels.

Safety features on all Camrys include a full complement of airbags: dual-stage front airbags, a driver's-knee airbag, upper body-protecting side-impact airbags for front passengers, and head-protecting side air curtains for the front and rear seats. All models come with anti-lock brakes (ABS), which aid steering control during a panic stop. The ABS features Brake Assist, which applies the brakes more forcefully and consistently when it senses the onset of a panic stop, and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), which balances brake application front and rear for optimal stopping distance. A tire-pressure monitor is standard, and Vehicle Stability Control with Traction Control is standard on all Camrys except the Hybrid.

"I have had the best experience"

I have had the best experience with Bob Smith Toyota, "Especially my sales agent Shawn". Every time I called he answered the phone very polite to me as were all the people at the dealership they spoke to me and told me what was going to happen and Todd in finance was very helpful. It seems to be a family environment. I will share my experience. Never before had I seen such a greeting in a car dealer ship.

"I went online to check"

I went online to check what kind of sale Bob Smith was having. Then I received an email from Hank, I came in to the store and talked to him, he was very honest and helpful, not pushing me to buy a car him right now.  He told me to take my time and think about it. I did now I am driving a new car.
