Exterior Style Too Subjective--Discussion Meaningless.... by richards38

One person's beauty is another's beast. Unless you park near a window and gaze at your car all day, choose the car with what you think has the best interior because that's what you'll be looking at most of the time.
 
When I was shopping for an '04 car, the Accord EX-L sedan (black leather) had the classiest interior of any mid-sized car I tested, so that's the car I bought. No regrets.....Richard

You are correct. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. If you are happy with your accord, so be it. I am really happy with my 2005 Camry XLE and it is the best decision I have made in comparison to the accord. I have an oak interior and there are camrys with the dark leather and they look exceptional. I don't regret buying my camry and you know what...I am just in my early 20's, and i still find the camry more appealing than the accord. What's your point????????

"not to mention a number of ppl complaining about misaligned dashboards" by cutedh
 
Can you direct us to the posts where a 7th gen Accord owner complained of a misaligned dashboard?

Sales Figures Are Misleading..... by richards38

I've never seen any breakdown on fleet sales vs. individual sales of popular cars.
 
Both the Camry and the Ford Taurus have been among the top-selling cars, but many were to rental car companies and other fleet buyers. I don't think Hondas are in many, if any, rental car fleets.
 
Maybe Honda doesn't want to demean its image by offering fleet pricing which could depress resale value when large numbers of late-model cars are offered for sale by rental companies.
 
Car choice by purchasing decision rather than volume would seem to be more relevant to any discussion about which cars sell more.....Richard

Beauty is subjective, but there are common contemporary tastes that define what are beautiful and what are ugly.
 
Beauty and ugliness are hard to describe. You know it when you see it. If there are no such general agreements on beauty and ugliness, how come there are super models who make millions every years with their beauty, and there are plain Janes who can never get a date? Scientists have studied criteria that appeal to most people as beauty. These criteria are defined as proportionality, symmetry, balance...
 
I happened to know a few males/females in their late teens, early twenties who like the Camry's stylings over the Accord's. Here are some of their observations:
 
The Camry's front end looks young, aggressive, alert, happy, healthy, wholesome, cool, cute....
 
The Accord's front end, with its sharply triangular head lights and curved hood, looks old, plain, tired, droopy, sick, sad, sorry, nasty...
 
The younger people I know are definitely excited by the Camry's styling, but are turned off by the Accord's. There is no neutral ground.
 
Personally, I would prefer driving the Accord, since I drive cars very hard, but the rest of the family dislikes the Accord's cramped and hard seats, and the rough ride.
 
The Camry's quiet and smooth ride makes a big difference in wear and tear on the bodies and minds of the occupants, especially on long trips.
