Dazzler is getting a 2012 Hybrid Camry (NOW WITH PIX)

It looks really nice Dazz (but I can't see the spoiler).
I really like the colour.
I would personally go the usual dark (blackish) window tint rather than bronze as I think it would go well.

Thanks Dave.. That's funny I forgot the spoiler

It's looking good, mate......

Doggie 1 · **Reply #93: October 01, 2012, 08:45:28**

Dazz. Looks tops.

Dazzler · **Reply #94: October 01, 2012, 08:52:46**

Thanks Guys the colour is growing on me

One small thing I noticed is this one doesn't have a chrome exhaust tip like the last one did (Guess I can scratch up 10 bucks)

Haven't seen a lot of colour variation in those photos. May be some shots with the sun at a low angle. Looks about mid day when they were taken. I don't mind the colour

I assume the spoiler is for aesthetics only, looks ok.

It's to save weight and help fuel economy.................

Funnily enough you could be right Alan

Think they said they knocked about 100kg out of the weight compared to the previous model (maybe they were up to 99 and said let's ditch the chrome exhaust to make it 100kg)

I can see some Gold in some of the pix

Yes the Spoiler is only cosmetic but it does improve the look of the back in my opinion

babis_xo · **Reply #98: October 01, 2012, 13:39:05**

Looks perfect

Spoiler looks a lot better than it did on previous model

OMG this black shaft hanging underneath is the exaust?? you HAVE to scratch up that bucks...

Dazzler · **Reply #99: October 01, 2012, 13:41:50**

So you like the colour OK babis? .. I love how it drives. The old one was on or off, this one is seemless power from takeoff right through ..

eye30 · **Reply #100: October 01, 2012, 15:55:45**

Nice colour Daz and I be it is a great drive.

Dazzler · **Reply #101: October 02, 2012, 10:39:04**

OK .. I sacked my Graphic Designers (too Tardy)

Went with the Toyota Hybrid Decals that arrived today. I think they work o/k with the new colour..

While I was at it I got a chrome exhaust tip ..

After over 400 kms of mixed driving I'm doing High Fives

(5.8 LPH average) Which should be about right...

Thanks .. Just photobucket being cranky

Doggie 1 · **Reply #105: October 02, 2012, 11:36:30**

Looks Phantastic

I said go blue with the decals and I think I was right

It goes well.

Ok, I'll share the kudos then.

Glad we helped, a little

Just Rick · **Reply #109: October 02, 2012, 13:40:45**

Toyota's only for brain surgeons, to complicated for this little black duck

looks good but

babis_xo · **Reply #110: October 02, 2012, 21:09:17**

High fives is a great achievement

given that the car is faster, is even greater

Colour fits the car perfect

Either this or silver pearl would be my choice too (suppositively speaking)

Magnetic bronze is more unique

One more thing that I like is the new instruments on the dashboard. The projecting LCD screens reminds of motorbike's dashboard which is a nice sport touch from Toyota's designers (either this or the dash designer previously worked for Kawasaki)

Ahhh... the decals... Can't be sure about them (or the photographer); maybe they look too catchy from some angles (the photographer does for sure)
Anyway, if you've changed your mind:

I was talking about Hemmi and Mikhasus

Babis was just being mischievous

No offence, I was having a lend

Dazz

Don't want to be a downer, the new car is nice and all, but I also have a freind who has just bought a prius C or B not sure which, his is smaller than yours I think, it's only a small car, he is reporting what he thinks is great milage, 4.2 to 4.8 KPL, for the life of me for such a supposedly technonogical superior car, IMHO why would you pay all that extra cash for such poor milage,

Lester · **Reply #117: October 04, 2012, 10:24:15**

Daz, Lubberly Jubberly Motor mate. Jamie Oliver would like it too.

Crikey into 3rd gear @ 101 posts, thanks lads.

The car looks great, Daz...even if it is a Toyota.....
