I am a Honda guy had 3 Accords but from reading the 07 Camry board it sounds to me that Toyota has leapfroged Honda with the 07. The Toyota V6 now has Nissan class torque where the Honda V6 comes up a little short, but how much do you really need. Love driving my sons v6 Altima, if the Toyota engine is like that Honda and Nissan should take note. Old Mike

You do realize the Camry is brand new.
The Accord is still running on its four year old design.
It should be better than the Accord

Buicks never appealed to me, eventhough they always offered more torque. Since the late 90s, Toyotas have not been something I have enjoyed driving, regardless of the power they can brag about.
 
Accord has more than enough power to keep up (and likely be faster) than the Camry. In fact, we already are dealing with more than necessary power. I hope Honda emphasizes elsewhere, instead of keep pushing the power envelope, and providing tweaks to the existing 3.5/V6 in Odyssey that are similar to the 3.0/V6 in Accord... and there you have it, Accord could get 280 HP from the 3.5, and more torque too, but is that what makes an Accord my car of choice? Nope. I would rather drive the four banger.

Mindless, baseless salesman babble to discourage purchase of the Camry.
The Camry seems better, but the newer design almost always is. The 2008 Accord will likely be better than the 2008 Camry, then then the 2011 Camry will likely be better than the Accord that's out at that point, then the 2013 Accord will be better than that car etc..

Sometimes it is better to listen to oneself than to be bothered by sales people. I never let them get to my nerves (outside of these forums), they simply don't deserve it.
 
As for a new model being automatically better than an older model, I have to disagree. For me it depends on a lot more than just the newness factor. I never grew up to like 1997 Camry over its predecessors, and since then, Camry has gone off my radar. Accord is where it is at, since 1998. Camrys just don't feel right to me, having spent considerable amount of time in them (last two generation), thanks to Hertz.

Why hate the salespeople? by mikeg8

I've been selling Hondas for 4 years now and it never ceases to amaze me how much people blame on salespeople. You are all grown ups you should be able to make your own decisions, and if you make a poor decision, you should also be able to take the blame for it. Truthfully, all cars are good. Honda's, Toyota's, Nissan's, even Pontiac's, and Ford's. It's really a matter of personal preferance. A Camry and an Accord drive completely different, does that make one better than the other?

I am curious what exactly do they blame on you? I can't think of much that would be the salesman's fault except intial price discrepancies.
 
Just Curious,

Not true, the neww design carmy is much more improve in power. Had u lookt he recent Edmund review of the new Toyota Carmy 07. They say the V6 Carmy is even faster than upscare. 330I BMW, there u have it, new carmy might seen increase alot of horse power, but it did creaise 1 more speed trasmission, that help accelerate. The new carmy look and feel alot like Mazda and Infinite alike. Not like old carmy boring feeling anymore. Current Accord design isn't bad, i like the back light, sure they didn't resign whole accord but sure chagne the backlight last couple time. Accord try to use Merdenebenz alike style look.

I also sell and I believe the market has changed so much in favor of the customer. To ask for a profit in the business is like a cardinal sin and the customers lie more than the sales people.
 The hate is probably mutual, customers waste your time and show very little respect for your efforts.
When you tell them the honest truth they don't believe you and when you lie it's the same.
There is no other business where you can find out the invoice price on any other product other than a car,and for that your at the mercy of the consumer
