Toyota Camry Still Best Selling Vehicle

Toyota has equipped themselves with a wide range of dependable vehicles, from the popular truck the Tundra, to the sporty Toyota Matrix, to the luxurious Land Cruiser. Although all of these have been great sellers for Toyota, none of them have become as reliable as their number one selling vehicle.

The 2010 Toyota Camry is the top selling car from the company in the first half of 2010. Sales this calendar year of the Camry total nearly 190,000 and are up 2.8 percent through the first seven months of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period.

The Camry has been a widely popular model for years, and has been dubbed a "smart buy" for much of that time. The 2010 Camry earned 5 out of 5 stars in government crash test results involving both frontal and side impacts.

A four-cylinder engine in the new Camry boosts horsepower from 158 to at least 169 in the 2010 model. The Camry is rated at 22/32 mpg, with 24.5 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Not bad for a car that's 15.8 feet long and fits up to five passengers.
Starting retail prices for base 2010 Camry's are lower than those of some major competitors, plus Toyota has been generous this year with sales incentives.

Specifically, the front-wheel drive, base, 2010 Camry has a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, of $20,155 with manual transmission and 169-horsepower, 2.5-liter four cylinder. With automatic transmission, the lowest-priced 2010 Camry starts at $21,205.

You can upgrade to a 2010 Camry with an available 268-horsepower V-6, but mileage ratings drop to 19/28 mpg.
