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.

Replying to: jjnikk76 (Jan 26, 2005 12:52 pm)  I've seen/heard quite a bit of "ugly butt" comment on Accord. From both some on-line publications and real world people. I suspect that this may be a big contributing factor for Accord's slightly lower sales volume comparing to Camry's (giving these two are so close competitors). Note however, 05 Accord changed the color of part of its tail lights, making them nearly all red instead of red and clear. On darker color cars, this improved rear appearance quite a bit, in my opinion. The downward curve of the lights is not that obvious now. The rumor is that there will be further changes next year. It seems that Honda is aware of people's perception on this. Of course, not everyone thinks it has "ugly butt" to begin with, but it seems to get to a point that it's swaying some people's purchasing decision.

Replying to: peterpan (Jan 26, 2005 8:00 am) Obviously, there is no way that the people who post on Edmunds represent any statistically correct percentage of owners; that's your biggest problem. And for you to rely on discussion titles makes it clear that you are clueless on the history of these boards. There are zillions of Camry and Accord posts in many, many discussions in our archives that contain negative and positive comments; the standardization and specialization of discussion names is very, very recent. It's not even worth getting into with you - your premise is ridiculous and if you don't know that, you know it now. Leave it be. Post no further about this - if you have something else to say, email me. |

Replying to: jjnikk76 (Jan 26, 2005 1:01 pm) "These moderators" do not "close down" discussions for no reason. There is an automatic archiving policy in place on these boards which means that when a discussion has had no activity for some amount of time, it essentially closes itself and moves into the archives. Any discussion can be reopened by request; that is never a problem - just ask! Now, there are times when a discussion is administratively closed by the host for various reasons, the most common of which is if a discussion has gotten so off-track and argumentative it is no longer providing any value.
