The Toyota Camry might be an absolute best-seller, but let's face it, it is a pretty boring car. So, what has Toyota done to solve this? The company has turned the 2012 Camry into a Daytona 500 Pace Car.
The 2012 Toyota Camry Pace Car will lead the pack for the start of the 54th edition of the Daytona 500, which is scheduled to take place on February 26.
