Interesting. In Europe, they stopped selling Camrys back in 2004 because no one wanted them and in Australia it's the number one car.
(Actually I had to google this because I didn't even know what a 'Camry' is)
It's probably because notchbacks are generally quite seldom here.

Put the i40 and i45 together and they end up 5th.  Too me, without a close look, they appear to be so similar.  After all, they are in the same bracket.
