This new version of the Camry Hybrid is the first of its kind (not assembled in Japan) and features unique new front and rear fascias that are derived from the Australian Aurion. Our take? The front grille is vaguely reminiscent of the three-bar chrome schnoz used by Ford in America, although it also reminds somewhat of the Venza, as well.br /br /Although final pricing has not yet been announced, Toyota expects to sell the new Camry Hybrid in Thailand with just a small premium over the standard model due to a reduced 10% excise tax on locally-built hybrid vehicles. Thanks to this favorable pricing situation, Toyota expects the Hybrid to make up 60-70% of all Camry sales in the region. Soon, the Japanese automaker will begin exporting the Thai-built Camry Hybrid to other countries in Southeast Asia.br /br /br /div class="postgallery"pstrongGallery: a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-camry-hybrid-for-thailand/"Toyota Camry Hybrid for Thailand/a/strong/pa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-camry-hybrid-for-thailand/2047895/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/thai_camry_hybrid_large_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-camry-hybrid-for-thailand/2047896/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/thai_camry_hybrid_large_2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-camry-hybrid-for-thailand/2047897/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/thai_camry_hybrid_large_3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-camry-hybrid-for-thailand/2047898/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/thai_camry_hybrid_large_4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //aa href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/photos/toyota-camry-hybrid-for-thailand/2047899/"img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autobloggreen.com/media/2009/06/thai_camry_hybrid_large_5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" //a/divbr /[Source: a href="http://paultan.org/archives/2009/06/01/thai-assembled-toyota-camry-hybrid-unveiled/"Paul Tan/a]p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/01/toyota-camry-hybrid-gets-nip-tuck-for-asean-market-intro/"Toyota Camry Hybrid gets nip/tuck for ASEAN market intro /a originally appeared on a href="http://www.autoblog.com"Autoblog/a on Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:27:00 EST.
