Replying to: dbostondriver (Mar 22, 2009 9:37 am) We ordered my wife's car and you have the option of the incentives now or the incentives when the car arrives. It worked out the original incentives were the best but it was nice to get car exactly as we wanted and at the best possible price. With sales as they are it would probably only take 4 -5 weeks. |

in the next 5 years who do you think will hold the top sedan title? With what I am reading here at Edmunds and other sedan boards it is really looking to me that the Accord/Camry may be loosing its luster. People are looking for different in a sedan. Competition has given real choices to choose from. With the Malibu, Fusion/Milan, Sonata, Passat, to name a few to choose from. As the word spreads that Accord/Camry no longer hold the reliability/quality card. My predictions are the Camry/Malibu will battle for number 1. Fusion/Accord will battle for number 3 spot. Can't forget the Nissan Altima. With the new 2010 Fusion/Milan coming on strong with very competitive power plants.. I say the Altima will move to the number 4 spot.

Look at the numbers: Malibu sold 178,253 in 2008 (in a redesign year) Camry sold 436,617 in 2008 Accord sold 372,789 Fusion sold 149,000 The Camry sold more than all of Chrysler's entire car division and they make up a lot of rentals. Malibu might be able to take the 2nd spot if the Aura, Impala, and G6 are discontinued and stop creating fake demand.

Replying to: dbostondriver (Mar 24, 2009 6:38 pm) 1.Camry 2.Accord 3.Malibu 4.Altima 5.Fusion This will be the order for the next 5 years..The Malibu and Fusion are improving but not close to Camry/Accord. Also the altima`s quality has diminished significantly.Infact all Nissans are slipping quickly.All Nissan Suv`s except xterra and in all its sedans - quality is slipping.Cheap plastic and parts,diminishing quality,,plus improving competition.They have to shape up or be prepared to lose badly. Surprise package- Sonata,, affordable ,good performance,,much improved reliability,decent styling and good warranty.But resale value and image in the tank.Perception taakes time to change-- but can see its sales climbing up gradually. Good to see malibu and fusion improving..They need aggresive styling and presentation.Bland wont work. But , as always,, I hope they continue to improve and innovate a lot-- Heats up the market,,keeps camry/accord on its toes,, high standards maintained-- win win for buyer
