Bangalore, Oct 19: Toyota launched in India its mid-class luxury sedan "Camry" as it geared up for competition in the D segment of the domestic car market. Bangalore-based Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd (TKML) said it is planning to sell 1,000 units of Camry in the first year by the Completely Built Unit (CBU) route.


"With Camry, the company wants to build a strong brand image for Toyota," TKML Managing Director Sachio Yamazaki told reporters.

"We are not keen on chasing market-share for Camry. We don't want to kill competition. We want to be in harmony with others", he said.
TKML reiterated today that its plans to manufacture passenger car "Corolla", Toyata's top-selling car in Japan for over three decades now, in the first quarter of next year here is on track. Unlike Camry, the company wants to sell Corolla in large numbers in India, Yamazaki indicated. Bureau Report
