Plenty coming this month from Toyota – the new Lexus GS 350 is being launched at Pebble Beach on August 18, and five days later will see the unveiling of the 2012 Camry for the North American market, with the fifth-generation car being introduced simultaneously in four locations across the US on August 23.
Ahead of that, the company has teased the upcoming car with a cropped three-quarter front angle photo via a Twitter post, revealing just the headlamp and side profile of the front bumper assembly. It looks like the grille is different than that suggested by the grainy scan from a month back, supposedly showing the car in all its glory.
The hybrid version of the sedan is also slated to be unveiled alongside the US market SE and XLE versions of the XV40’s replacement. Guess we’ll all just have to wait and see how it finally shapes up, when it comes.
