Toyota Camry was announced as the 2007 Green Car of the Year at the 2006 LA Auto Show. Ed La Rocque, Toyota's national car marketing manager, accepted the award on Toyota’s behalf. He went on to dedicate this award to Dave Hermance, Toyota's lead engineer on hybrid projects, who died earlier that week in an airplane accident.

Launched in spring 2006, the new Camry offers a major redesign for the 2007 model year and an available Camry Hybrid option equipped with Toyota's industry-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive.

Currently in its sixth generation, the all-new Camry offers more interior space, an athletic design with a more upright style than its predecessor, and unique performance enhancements, especially in the Camry Hybrid. The hybrid version sets a new standard for fuel efficiency / performance balance with outstanding EPA-estimated 40 mpg city/38 mpg highway ratings and a net 187 horsepower for the combined hybrid system.
