Camry: A Best Seller in Heartland USA and Australia

Camry has helped Australia and the US forge a new type of trans-Pacific alliance.
Camry has further entrenched itself as a best seller in the heartland of both nations during 2011.
In Australia, Camry is the best-selling mid-size car and the largest and most valuable automotive export.
Official sales figures for the first half of the year show Camry accounts for almost one-third of all sales in its market segment.
Its sales are more than two-and-a-half times higher than its closest competitor.
Domestic sales are only part of the story because Australian-built Camry sedans are also exported to the Middle East, a market which accounts for more than 10 per cent of Camry's global sales.
On the other side of the Pacific, Camry is the best-selling car in the world's biggest auto market, with 147,000 sales for the six months to 30 June.
Camry's latest success in the US comes after nine consecutive years as the number one selling car in that market.
