The Camry looks like a clown with a big nose and the Accord looks like . . well . . like every other car on the road. I strongly dislike the cheap-looking black, plastic fins on the Accord's front grill. The Camry's painted grill is much better executed. I think Honda does a great job with their chrome assents.
 
The less paint on the front end, the less available space to get rock-chips. I've learned this going from my 1996 Accord (with less painted front) to my 2006, which has more paint up front.

I prefer the SE grill, which isn't painted. The all-painted grill has the look of a John Deere's/PT Cruiser nose. As thegrad noted, it also increases the chance of getting chips from flying debris, and if the paint starts to peel... like it has on couple of my friends' older Camrys but on bumper, it will look bad. I'm not sure Camry's grill is metal or plastic though, hard to tell from thinking about it because Camry doesn't have a front bumper. Will have to check it out next time. Metal will hold paint better.

FYI, the Camry's grille is entirely plastic--I change the LE grille on my car to the SE as I think it looks much better.

One little note, the engines are I4 (inline 4) not Vee engines. Just something to remember when asking about cars from a dealer, make sure they take you seriously!
 
And, if you drive them, I think you'll find a Camry quieter than the Honda.

Sandy,
 
Don't let yourself be sidetracked by Princess and The Pea concerns. With your radio on, you will never notice wind noise in either vehicle.

Always buy the car you "like" best. You will tend to keep the car longer. The fewer cars you own in your lifetime the more bux you will have. Just my .02.

"The fewer cars you own in your lifetime the more bux you will have." Is that really true though? I guess it depends on what you call saving money.
 
I guess its buy or lease a new car and not have to pay for any repairs (covered under warranty) VS. buy a car and pay for repairs and services after the warranty expires. And, generally older cars have more problems that newer ones.

Absolutely true. A car is the 2nd largest purchase price item consumers buy,next to a home purchase.

Yes, but even an older car like my 12 year old, 176k mile Accord only costs about $400 a year to maintain/keep running practically perfectly. Compare that to a month for a car payment every MONTH!
