That all changes after you turn on the engine and actually drive it.

Actually, that's where things go south for me as far as the Camry goes. Outside, its not offensive, but not "pretty" either, like most competitors. The driving experience in the SE V6 and LE V6 I have driven in the past year (the SE was an 07, the LE an 08) were yawn-boxes with lots of power.
 
The 2008 Fusion SE I4 I drove was much better to drive, allowing for *gasp* steering feel.
 
If you want comfy and quiet and don't care about actually DRIVING, get the Toyota. It's the better ride, but not the better drive. If you want a car that you'll actually enjoy driving, the Ford is the better of the two (at least pre-2010) by a long shot.

So, does that mean the Ford Fusion will win higher resale value this year than Toyota Camry? (yeah right)

The performance numbers look fine, fuel economy is competitive, exterior looks ok (score in the lower pact to me though), but interior is just typical American - ugly and cheap. Worse of all, I know for a fact that if someone spend 20K on a Big 3 car, of the 20K, about 14K would go to the car company itself, then, compared to Toyo/Hon/Nis, 1-2K out of 14K will not be used for the car, it goes to UAW etc., which I am personally not interested in making a donation to.
 
All non-car factors aside, why would anyone choose a Malibu or Fusion is beyond me, maybe the exterior really clicks for you?

The new 2.5 engine by ctl

Buying a car for my wife. Anyone driven the new 2.5 + 6 speed? I test drove the old 2.4 before, compared to V6, it had acceptable power for regular highway/city usage, but the noise under acceleration put me off, don't know if the new R series has improved on that? That V6 is surely a cheap fun but wonder if it is wise (safe) to put it under her feet...

From what I've read, the new 2.5 is quieter under acceleration than the 2.4.

2010 Camry's subpar build quality by yfyu

I own a 1993 Camry, it has 240000 miles and still running good. That is why I trust toyota's quality and decided to get an new Toyota Camry instead of getting a new Honda Accord.
On last Memorial weekend, I bought a 2010 Camry standard 4 cylinders CE from a dealer in Los Angeles area. Just got it couple days, I found that the seat is rocking when in stop and go traffic. I brought it back to the service dept of that dealer and they found that there is welding issue on the seat track. They said that they tried re-welded it, but still having issue. My car is still in the shop and has been there over a week now and it get me so frustrated. I am thinking of calling Toyota USA's customer service to help me resolving this issue.
I would like to know if anyone out there has experience Toyota's quality issue like me.
I am kind of regrat that I did not get a Accord instead.

Ehh, you had bad luck. Honda has a few bad ones too. You should have a free rental car while they are repairing it. After being in manufacturing (not auto) for a long time, I know that as good as the Toyota quality system is, humans can still make mistakes and not get caught. I have never read about anyone else having a problem like this.
 
So you have a 2010 2.5 manual tranny - how do you like it otherwise? I have a 2007 2.4 manual.

I drove it just for couple day before I took it back to the dealer for the driver seat problem. For driving, I like the car. Ride is smooth and has good power. Acceleration is not quick but responsive. (All are sujective). Infact, It is a 2.5L auto basic model. I apologize for confusing you by saying it is a standard (manual shifting).
I am still waiting for their call back about the driver seat fix. I am not sure if I should call Toyota on pushing for replacing a new seat for me.
