blogentry-133713-0-17274900-1426241215_thumb.jpgThe Toyota Camry has just been facelifted and Thailand is the first country to receive it. The biggest news for this mid-life update is the debut of the new 2.0-litre VVT-iW & D-4S engine which will be paired to a six-speed automatic transmission. Previously, the Camry 2.0 features an ancient four-speed automatic.

Toyota's latest VVTi-W(Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Wide) technology which is first seen on the Lexus NX200t is present too.

Look like a "Bloated" Altis....Should also offer the Turbocharge 2.0 used in the Nx.

If Thais get it, means its meant as an export model? Hopefully SIN gets it. At 12.7, sounds like min ron 95, recommended ron 98. 6AT sounds good.

Also save a fair bit from engine levy compared to the 2.5.

  • It's okay, you're just feeling ambivalent

    I almost always struggle to describe my state of mind when asked to consider how I'm feeling. How do you express emotions that exist together but work in opposition to each other? When invited to join a gathering with friends, I delight over the prospect of catching up but also yearn to be lounging at home. I'm inspired by an accomplished co-worker yet envy her. I feel happy about a new beginning but nervous and, at the same time, sad over the closing of a chapter.  It's complicated. A
