I cannot understand why the intelligent people that post on this board continue to debate issues of styling. The argument will go nowhere, and is moot. As stated before, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ~alpha |

What's funny to me is that certain Camry driver's are intent on slamming the Accord. Can't you just agree that the cars appeal to different audiences and let that be the end of it. Subjective opinions don't mean a whole lot in a discussion. So some of you think a Camry feels like a Lexus. I can tell you from experience that there is a significant difference between an ES330 and a Camry let alone anything above the ES330. If you wanted a "Lexus-feel" you shoulda bought a real Lexus. I happen to love the way my Accord looks. I love the way it drives even more. I love the manual transmission with the leather, dual-zone climate control, sunroof, XM radio, and heated seats. I didn't buy it expecting it to feel like a Lexus nor did I want it to. Also, you do not see Accord's on rental lots because Honda as a manufacturer will not sell them directly to fleets. Any rental company who wants Accords must buy them from a Honda dealer like any other person would do. Toyota deals directly with fleets to the tune of about 10% per year. Honda keeps it's fleet sales to less than 2%. That also explains a bit of the Camry's sales advantage over the Accord. |

Replying to: peterpan (Jan 26, 2005 8:00 am) The Camry and Accord are both excellent vehicles that cater to similar buyers with different preferences. Choose the Camry if ride ride, isolation, and restraint are paramount, and choose the Accord if involvement, and precision are your choice. As of 2005, when equipped similarly, the vehicles have MSRPs that closely approximate each other, so the choice really comes down to preference. To me, the major differences lie in the fact that the Accord makes available an outstanding Hybrid model, while the Camry offers the availability of what has been called the greatest safety advance since seatbelts- electronic stability control. Both offer outstanding efficiency and safety (when Camry is equipped with side and side curtain airbags). For the base models, Honda should be wholly commended on making side and side curtain airbags standard, and Toyota would do well to follow the lead. ~alpha

There is an active discussion on the " Camry vs Accord " but the " Corolla vs. Civic " it's marked as 'read only' which means that you cannot post anymore, why is this?? I don't understand why some of these are closed. It doesn't make sense to me to see these moderators close down discussions. Does anyone know about this? It's annoying sometimes because you want to post your thoughts and contribute to the discussion but it's not possible.
