2012 Toyota Camry Reveal

Toyota had the most amazing reveal party for the 2012 Camry the other day at Paramount Studio. This picture doesn't even do it justice.

The car is beautiful, apparently it has an engine that does stuff, it's even going to cost less, but you know what my two favorite things about this car are? First it has a blind spot monitor that shows up on the side view mirror to let you know if someone is in your blind spot. Love that! The other thing I was excited about is the EnTune system which provides GPS (yawn) and you can link your phone with it to stream Pandora and I Heart Radio. I love my driving music so that is HUGE!!!!

So if you don't want to bump into people in your blind spot while listening to your favorite home town radio station or obscure selections on Pandora The new Camry is for you.
