Toyota Eclipses 10 Million in Toyota Camry Sales!

1 in 5 Toyota cars sold is a Toyota Camry

The Camry has officially reached its 10 millionth sale! The Camry has been America's best-selling car for the past 11 years, and it represents almost 20 percent of the vehicles that Toyota has ever sold. The Toyota Camry also celebrates its 30-year anniversary in the US this year.

The first-generation of the Camry was released in the US market in 1983, selling 52,651 vehicles that year. Ready for a crazy stat? 773 of those Camrys are still in operation - three decades later! According to Toyota's press release, "Overall, there are approximately 6.4 million Camrys on the road, further echoing the quality, reliability and durability still represented by Camry seven generations down the line."

The Toyota Camry is also the most American-made car; virtually all Camrys sold in the US today are also produced here. Take a look at the history of the Camrys in photos on the Toyota website here.

802 Toyota Staff Feature: Alex Drew

Meet Alex Drew, 802 Toyota's Internet Sales Consultant

Alex, also known as "Stewie", "Drewbie" and "Lex" is a lefty who loves both sushi and Thai Food, although his favorite restaurant is Positive Pie in Montpelier. His biggest fear is the IRS, and if he were a car he'd be the Toyota RAV4, "because I'm efficient, practical and I'm multifaceted."

The best concert he's ever been to was the Black Keys, his favorite movie is Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and his favorite song is Red Red Wine by UB40. If he could travel anywhere in the world it would be to Italy, but his favorite Vermont destination is Morse Farm. Alex loves working at 802 Toyota because he gets to know new people and learn about what excites them in a car, as well as his great coworkers, customers and the new 802 facility.

Alex will delightfully welcome you to 802 Toyota Scion when you come visit - but technically you already know him! He's the one who snaps the awesome pictures of our used vehicles for our website. Want to check out his work? View our used inventory here :)
