Just in front of the 6-speed automatic transmission shifter there is a door and when you open it way in the back is a connector for a 12V and Aux connection. I'm trying to find out how large this compartment is when this door is closed. The length and width is all I'm looking for. Its probably the same size for both the 2010 and 2009 models.

5.5 wide, 5.5 deep, 4.0 tall, as measured in our 2007 which is the same.
It's actually deepr at the top of the chamber, but that's the minimum dimensions you should go with.
We stuff a lot in there, including the GPS, radar detector, cables, etc.

My preference for exterior color is Magnetic Gray. Which interior color is better for resale of a "SE" type vehicle, black ("dark charcoal") or gray ("ash")?

I've got a clunker also, I wasn't actually thinking of buying a new car now, but what the heck, if Barack wants to give me 3500-4500 free bucks for my old '94 minivan, I'll play along.
I've got a '05 Accord V6 that runs great, but it's so noisy at highway speeds, I'm looking at Camry. The 4 cyl will get me the higher Clunkers Cash, and I've got to say, it's almost as good at the V6 Camry, in terms of noise, handling, highway cruising. Sure, not as much pep when you floor it from a stop, but I can live without that.
Why so hung up on a V6?

Around town, a V6 won't help you out a whole lot, but on the highway, you can feel a big difference between the current crop of 4-cyl models (160-190hp) and V6 models (240-270hp) when going out to pass at 60-80 mph. BIG difference.

Most of my driving is highway driving so I view having acceleration and passing power as a safety issue. An I4 is OK for a Corolla or a Civic-type car with a manual transmission but a Camry or an Accord-type vehicle with an automatic transmission is simply too much of a load for a smaller I4 engine as far as highway handling is concerned.
Another way of looking at it is that for $1000 extra (i.e., getting only $3500 for your "clunker") you get a lot more car. For me it's a pile of "found money" either way since my SUV is virtually worthless with more than 200k miles on its clock.

The Camry Hybrid has a lot of passing power surprisingly enough. 60-75 the car just leaps forward.
