The windshield which is also known as the windscreen, is normally referred to the front window. Today’s modern technology windshields are usually made of laminated safety glass, which is a type of treated glass, consisting two curved sheets of glass in a typical situation, with a layer of plastic laminated between them for added safety. All these make up a windshield/windscreen and are glued into the window frame.

To all Malaysian car lover’s take note, UMW Toyota has decided to increase their CBU Camry prices. This increase will take effect on Monday, 06/08/2007. Apparently no reasons pertaining to this increase were given given by my source there but I guess it has to do with some increase in production costs back in Thailand.

Sadly this information just came in at the 11th hour and doesn’t give much time for the buyer’s to decide . Anyhow, it still does make a difference for those already targeting to get their Camry from UMW Toyota, by placing an order, latest tomorrow - Sunday, 05/08/2007.

This increase will effect both the current Camry models that are being sold here in Malaysia. The Toyota Camry 2.0E and 2.0G will see an increase of RM2,051 and subsequently, the Camry 2.4V will increase by RM2,450 respectively.
