Akio Toyoda, president and chief executive of Toyota Motor Corp., unveiled the 2012 Camry during a webcast Aug. 23 at the Toyota plant in Georgetown. All Camrys sold in the United States will be made here, Toyota officials said.

Toyota no longer plans to import any Camrys from Japan for sale in the United States, ending a diminishing practice that had dwindled to just a few thousand last year. The announcement from the automaker came in conjunction with the launch of the latest generation of the sedan in Japan on Monday. The vehicle launched last month in the United States, where it is far and away more popular and has been the top-selling car for 13 of the past 14 years.
