I guess wait till Consumer Reports comes out with a road test on the new Accord. They'll report the mileage on a car that has over 5K miles and driven under normal driving conditions. I'm looking forward to the diesel Accord which should do well in terms of gas mileage.
 
With the available 190 HP I4 and the upcoming diesel engine I don't see the Malibu leaving the Accord behind.

I've driven all three cars and I find the Malibu the best of the three. The Accord high revving engine is noisy when you floor the gas pedal for passing, the Malibu is quitter than both the Camry and Accord. The styling is nicer with the Malibu. The ride is better with the Malibu. Why the Accord is rated better is beyond me!! Incidentally, I know more about cars than the average person and maybe more than those who rated these three cars.

A base Toyota Camry SE I4 can be had without the moonroof for less than $23,000. So I don't believe that's a good enough reason. The only reason that doesn't happen is cause you have to pay MSRP for that configuration (custom order from the dealer). Whereas if you take a base Toyota Camry SE I4 with the moonroof option off the lot you can make a deal for it for less than the MSRP of the Base SE I4 w/o moonroof.

If that price point were SO specific, than why was the Malibu allowed to break that ceiling?

Why do people complain about the results from comparison tests? They only said what car THEY preferred, out of the cars that were tested. It's only their opinion. Does that mean YOU have to like it too? Indeed not. Are you saying they really liked the Camry or Malibu more, but picked the Accord anyway? I haven't read the comparison yet, but it's obvious which car they liked from the whining going on from Camry and Malibu people.

Also, thank you for your replys. In the 2008 V6 Sedan article I sent a letter to the editor via the link on the front page of the article with no response or awknowledgement.

I read your last few posts and got the impression you're a big fan of GM. I'm shocked, I tell you I'm shocked that you found the Malibu to be the better car. You probably know more about cars than road testers from other media outlets too. I know one thing for sure, I know what car would be best for me as you know what car is best for you. Hopefully anyone considering one of these three cars will personally test drive them and make up their own mind up.

Always including the Camry... by usa1

Now that the Camry has finished last in this comparison test AND the other recent V6 comparison test, can you please NOT include it in future tests? I'm tired of hearing how uninspired, dull, and ugly it is.
 
Just because it sells by the boat loads, does not mean you need to include it. The previous generation Taurus sold a lot of cars through it's life, but it was never in the later comparison tests because people knew it was not worth considering. The same can now be said of the Camry. You can simply state in your next comparison test something like "The Camry was not included because it came in last in recent tests."
 
Any bets on whether the tired Camry will be trotted out dutifully in future tests? Sigh.

OR.... they actually (for once) could test the best looking best handling of the Camry stable. SE.
