The video uses stop-motion animation with model cars to break down the pros and cons, however, it also appeared to have shown the facelifted Toyota Camry set to debut in 2024. The vehicle in the rendering shares its front-end design with the new [Prius](), leading many to believe it was a leak of the upcoming sedan. Toyota has now debunked the rumor. **Update 9/25 4:30 pm ET:** *A Toyota spokesperson responded to* The Drive's *original inquiry with the following statement: “It was created by one of Toyota Financial Service’s vendors that mistakenly used an artist’s conceptual rendering of a Camry that was a meant as a placeholder during the production process. The vendor has no access to Toyota planned vehicle design images and the image is not a preview of a future Camry. Toyota Financial Services is removing the image from the video.”* *This story has been updated to reflect this change.* About 48 seconds into the video, you see a little book titled "The Amazing Toyota." On its cover is what looks to be a Toyota Camry, as it has the overall body shape of the current model including the same side mirrors and proportions. However, it has headlights very similar to that of the stylish new Prius. While the face isn't exactly the same, it has similar wraparound headlights at both ends and connects to the grille in between them. Along with the new headlights, it gets a massive lower front grille and what looks to be a more sculpted hood. ![]() **Toyota** The car in question is only on the screen for exactly two seconds, and it never returns, so it seems Toyota didn't want it up there for long. Plus, someone had to animate that exact car into the ad, which was then seen by countless internal eyeballs before making it to YouTube. It now appears that no one objected because it doesn't actually preview an upcoming product. It was possible all along that it could be the [Toyota Crown](), an overseas model we don't have in the U.S., or some fictional car some graphic designer came up with. Even though we thought those were unlikely reasons, it now seems it was the latter. There's no word on when the new Camry will be officially revealed but if Toyota is realizing how widely anticipated it is, it could be very soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgmUGzZrEQA&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
