“The new Camry will be the backbone of Toyota Australia’s total export program. We are confident of reaching an export target of more than 85,000 cars in 2007,” said Toyota Australia president and CEO Ted Okada.


“Overseas demand for the Australian-made Camry is running at record levels and has been buoyed by demand in both export and domestic markets.”


Toyota Australia’s export division has been working with the six member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) customers in preparation for today’s (1 September) launch of the Camry in the region.


The 2006 launch of the new Camry sedan will be followed in November by the launch of the Australian built six-cylinder Aurion sedan.
