I realize this is an old post but there is something you don't know.
 
Most cars with bluetooth have only a select few phones they will work 100% with. The Land Rovers I sell are like this and although they have gotten better every year there are still problems. The used BMWs that have bluetooth are the same way. Hey go try a mercedes with hands free phone service and good luck getting it to work with more then a couple of phones.

I just don't understand this type of comparo, as these two cars have distinctively different personalities. Why don't we compare the TL with the Sequoia?

Everyone has their opinions but as far as comparing Camry to Accord, I did just that and chose the Camry. I test drove both and though they drove similar to me the XLE V6 Camry definately looked beter inside and out. Maybe the 08 Accord might give the Camry a run for the money but in my opinion the 07 Camry was much nicer and I could have gotten the Accord for at least $2,000 less.

TL vs Camry isn't that much diff from Accord vs Camry. Yes TL/Camry are in quite diff gift wrap, but not much diff underneath -> put in a stiffer suspension, diff sheet metal, bingo, here u go.

Sorry it took long to reply. YES I replied to another post and thats why my 'title' is misleading. I also know that the TL is an entry level Luxo sport car NOT the Camry. THAT is a family car. I am having issues that cant show up in a test drive unless I get a 30 day test drive like Saturn used to do, thats NOT gonna happen. I feel that the ddriver power seat is just way too soft, like sitting on a bean bag chair or that its stuffed with cotton balls{exaggeration but still, the idea is there}
The Camry has tons of positives, quiet, great MPGs, roomy,
the ENGINE is amazing BUT it is in direct contradiction to the suspension, its like they said "Lets stuff a fast, SPORTY engine but screw the suspension, it still needs to ride like a Buick or Bonneville} THe skid pad ratings on a regular Camry are .01 % better than a CR-V. WOW, thats scary
I know its "Buyer Beware" ANd I wish I didnt fall for the Motor Trends Car of the year BS and wish I read up HERE b4 purchase.
At least I bought this and not leased so when a yr or 2 pass, I can get out of it and into a used HOPEFULY better TL.

My misunderstanding on the title comment.
 
I agree with you on the Camry front seats = uncomfortable.
 
I also agree with the ride = soft, but as a family sedan, I don't think it was meant to throw around, and never was in prior model years(I had owned a 89 V6 5 speed Camry, and kept it for 10 years).
 
Now, as for the engine and trany problems with the V6, it's very scary to drop that kind of money on a "reliable" vehicle and be disappointed; Toyota needed to step up to the plate very quickly and rectify the major troubles with their products.
 
I have crossed off (at least for this model year) the Toyota and the Lexus products.
 
I have yet to take an Acura out for a drive, but the Accord was quite a bit noisier than the Camry.

I test drove an 07 Accord LX maybe, special edition. It had very nice tight steering almost too tight{heavy} for city driving. The cloth seats also werent great BUT the leather package is much more padded. I read a few yrs ago, maybe here at Edmunds, that Honda {also most other manufacturers} add more padding to a leather seat than the cloth. I really wish I bookmarked that because Honda never admitted that when I had probloems with my CR-V or Accord.
I can maybe just lose 30-40 pounds

Camry VS TL by zed421v

I have a 2007 Camry V6. My wife has a 2007 Acura TL. They are both excellent cars. I find the biggest difference is in dealer service. I get sick to my stomach every time I take my Camry in for service. The dealers are arrogant, and the work never done correctly. The Acura dealers are courteous, and have fixed problems Toyota would just laugh off. I enjoy both cars but will stick with Acura for their fine service.

Aren't you confusing the dealers with the cars? bring your Camry to lexus, then Camry becomes better than TL because of service?
