Toyota has now sold 10 million Camrys in the United States, the automaker announced this morning.
One of the most successful cars of all time, the Camry that has been the best-selling car in the country for the past 11 years (though best-selling vehicle goes to Fords F series pickup truck), and celebrates its 30th birthday this year.
