20 years of Lexus in the UK: 1990 LS 400 meets 2010 LS 600h

Scoop: Next-gen Toyota Camry

The next-gen Toyota Camry will be available only as a hybrid in Japan (earlier post) and it is expected to be launched in July 2011. According to early info, the next-gen Camry will share its platform with the Toyota Avensis, although it is not clear whether it will use the platform of the current-gen Avensis, or the platform of the new Camry will used in the next-gen Avensis. I reckon that the latter scenario is more likely.

Further to my latest pre-order for an Advantage GT-R Concept scale model (earlier post), I have placed three new ones today. Note that the photos of the Civic Type R model are from moke-up, so the real thing will much more detailed. Hopefully, I should get all of them by the end of March.
