Yet, in its quiet reliability and steadfast presence, it has left a deeper mark on the roads-and on the industry-than almost any rival.

Readers will discover how Toyota's relentless focus on quality and incremental improvement turned the Camry into a benchmark for rivals, a lifeline for taxi fleets, and a mainstay of millions of lives. From production milestones to hybrid breakthroughs, from crash-test triumphs to industry accolades, Camry Code provides a comprehensive portrait of a car whose greatness lies in doing everything right-quietly, year after year.
