Starting this year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched a new regiment of stricter tests with a higher bar for success than ever before. This might have most automakers worried, but the people at Toyota know that their mid-size Camry isn't like most other competing models on the road today. Rather, the Camry packs the lauded Toyota Star Safety System, and it proved to be quite an asset in this year's tests.

More specifically, the 2012 Toyota Camry took home a perfect five-star safety rating, and we here at Charles Barker Toyota couldn't be more thrilled. The Highway Traffic Safety Administration was impressed with the wide range of technologies that the Toyota Star Safety System features, and why wouldn't they be? The system is featured in every new Toyota sold. Whether it be the Toyota Yaris, 4Runner, or Avalon, it features the Toyota Star Safety System.

Of course, we realize that some of you out there may be wondering exactly what the Toyota Star Safety System is... For those of you who are unaware, it's an ever-evolving lineup of leading-edge technologies that define safety. Included are Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, Smart Stop Technology Brake-Override System, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
