Introduction
The Toyota Camry is a mid-size sedan produced and sold by Toyota Motor Manufacturing, a car company based out of Japan. The Camry has been in production since 1982, and is the best-selling car in America, selling 361,111 units in 2015. While a new Camry model is released every year, the 2018 is a top to bottom makeover of the car, and the first major model change since 2014. The Camry comes in four trim packages, the LE, XLE, SE, and XSE, as well as hybrid, four cylinder, and V6 options with a MSRP ranging from $23,070 to $31,370.

Interior Changes
Headlining interior changes is a new dash and center console that flows better than the old design. The new sweeping design introduces a 10 inch screen that can be used for audio controls, GPS navigation, and is fully compatible with most smartphones. The new model will also have built in wifi and a new JBL sound system consisting of nine speakers and a 10.1 inch sub woofer. Safety features such as pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, and adaptive control now come standard, with blind spot monitoring and cross-traffic alerts available on certain models.

Powertrain Changes
The 2018 Camry will come standard with a 4-cylinder engine, however hybrid and V6 options are also available. The 4-cylinder is the most popular choice with the V6 accounting for only about 10 percent of Camry sales. Many other car companies have gone away from the V6 engine to a turbocharged 4-cylinder, but Toyota has decided to keep and improve upon the 6-cylinder model. Higher compression ratio, multi-hole direct injectors, and variable valve timing will help improve both the 4-cylinder and V6. There is expected to be an increase in both horsepower and torque across all powertrains from the 2017 model. The 4-cylinder will remain a 2.5 L but will have improved automatic transmission. The new carry also goes away from the standard rear struts a to multilink suspension setup, as well as a four-point engine mounting system, both of which will provide for a smoother and quieter ride. Hybrid Camry will have an improved 4-cylinder set up which can simulate 6-speed transmission. SE models will also come with available paddle shifters.

Visual Changes
The exterior represents the complete overhaul of the Camry. A sleeker more aggressive car is the result of the changes. Rocker panels are more sculpted and both front and rear bumpers were redesigned. The hood lies 6 inches lower than older models with the roof line also being lowered by 1.2 inches. The Camry introduces available panoramic moon roof and new exhaust. There are also differences between SE and XSE, and LE and XLE models which can be seen from 200 feet away. Certain models also see an upgrade in wheels, offering 19 inch, black machine-finished alloy wheels.

Production Changes
With the changes in the 2018 model being so vast, it produces many production challenges. New front and rear suspension lines were required to mount the suspension directly to the chassis. New moon roof leveling equipment and glass press equipment were also required to fit the new model. One of the largest challenges was getting workers in and out of the vehicle during production. Since the car sits inches lower than previous models, much of the equipment required to get workers and parts inside of the vehicle no longer fit. New lifts, dollies, and raku seats had to be installed in order to keep production efficient and safe. The time required to produce one vehicle will also increase at the start of production as new processing and equipment will hinder efficiency
