Power and more underscore 2018 Toyota Camry

The best-selling car in America for the past 15 years breaks its mold with a new platform and powertrains. Things have changed with Toyota's 8th-generation flagship sedan and the legacy of being simply a “standard sedan” has been blown up.

“We don't want to just stay in that [standard sedan] position, so that was our driver to make an unprecedented change,” Masato Katsumata, global chief engineer of the 2018 Camry, said in an interview with Automotive Engineering following the car's world debut at January's Detroit auto show.
