Yes, Aurion is a Camry (predecessor: Toyota Avalon). Its the seventh generation of Camry w/ revised front and rear w/ a little changes in the interior. This car sold in Australia, middle east and some other asian nation. Santa Rosa, Laguna is one of the assembly plant of the Aurion.

Funny, here in the US the Toyota Avalon is supposedly the flagship model saloon along the ranks of the Mitsubishi Diamante and Acura RL

are you sure that the latest camry is being assembled in thailand???
last visit ko sa Toyota Sta. Rosa Plant (field trip), yung previous model ng Camry is assembled there... 2 camry's are finished each day... kitang kita ko na nilalagay ng worker yung door trim sa kulay black na unit...
tapos nung lumabas ang bagong model, nabasa ko yung top gear magazine (forgot the issue, basta front page nya is yung camry), binanggit dun one of the assemblies of Camry worldwide is philippines... yung test unit daw nila dun is "fresh from the assembly line"....
hnd naman inannounce sa site toyota philippines na closed na ang assembly line ng camry sa sta rosa... ang nabasa ko lang, stop na ang corolla line in favor of the new vios to be assembled locally...
pero di ako sigurado kung dito pa rin ang assembly ng latest model ha....
The Fortuner club was invited by Toyota Motor Phils. to tour its vehicle assembly plant located in Sta. Rosa, Laguna last March 29,2008. To those who were physically and mentally there (had to really spell this out since this thread is abound with skeptics). It is very clear that the plant only produces two vehicles, which is the new Vios (all variants) and Innova (all variants). They have a spare or idle assembly line that used to be occupied by the outgoing Altis.
I hope this clears the issue already.

I just saw a Camry Hybrid here in the Philippines. Obviously its imported since we don't sell Camry hybrids locally. Taken this picture just in front of SM Sta. Mesa just this afternoon on my way home from work.

Hope to see those hybrids more often soon...
http://bkkautos.com/node/702Camry Hybrid for Thailand in 2009
Toyota will begin production of the Camry Hybrid in Thailand in 2009. Toyota is to produce 9,000 units a year in Thailand, starting in 2009.
In order to make the adjustments to the assembly line at the Gateway plant in Chachoengsao province, Toyota is making an investment of THB 90 million.
Toyota simultaneously announced that the Camry hybrid will also be produced in Australia, which is currently a production base for the Camry model. Australian production will run at 10,000 units per year.
In Thailand the batteries and motors will be imported for local assembly, but the Thai government is working on ways to encourage Toyota to start local manufacture of their hybrid system.
The Camry might not be the obvious choice for a hybrid car in Thailand, but for Toyota it was the most cost effective choice, as the Camry is already in production here.
The Camry Hybrid will cost quite a bit more than a regular petrol version, even with the lower excise duty for hybrid vehicles, which is set at 10%, compared to the 30% for regular vehicles with engines under 2.0 litre, and 35% for engines between 2.0 and 2.5 litre capacities.

uy sakto, hybrid pala yan, tataka ako kasi akala ko me bagong labas, ni hindi ko man lang napansin, tapos nung nilapitan ko yung sticker nya sa plate nya 2007 pa, naiisip ko tuloy gray market na camry, yun pala yan yung hybrid.... pero ang ganda ng dating nya...
I think there are available seatcover patterns for the Camry, but then, would these patterns be 100% similar to the seats of the US Camry?
