TORRANCE, California — Toyota said on Thursday that it's going to pull forward the on-sale date for the redesigned 2012 Camry by about two weeks, with cars arriving in showrooms in mid-September.

In its August sales conference call, Toyota told the media that earlier sales of the 2012 Camry are being made possible because the "sell-down of the 2011 Camry is going extremely well."                                                                  
 Toyota said it sold 30,185 2011 Camry and Camry Hybrids in August compared with 30,764 in August 2010, a drop of 5.7 percent.                                          
Jeff Bracken, vice president of sales for Toyota's U.S. division, said that compared to year ago levels, sales were down 16 percent on a daily selling rate basis as "dealers continued to operate with less than ideal inventory levels."   He said all North American production will return to normal levels in September, for the first time since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.        
 With most of Toyota's North American plants now running at maximum operating rates, Toyota projects that production for the second half of 2011 will "now actually exceed initial plans."                                                           
Bracken said Toyota dealer inventories should "grow in September for the first time since the twin disasters in Japan disrupted production."
