Toyota Camry(07) VS Honda Accord(08)

Head to Head

Wow... such a competitive industry from both honda and toyota!!! Automotive industry such looks great..

Last year when Toyota introduced its seventh generation Camry, the SE V-6 version(mightiest of all the Camries...) promptly laid claim as the most powerful and quickest!! The new benchmark of toyota!!!

Honda's Accord, then in the final year of its seventh generation, was a stellar sedan in its own right. But in light of the new Camry, its age was beginning to show. As a company that prides itself on innovation, Honda is never happy when its most important model can be described as aged. For 2008, the tide has changed, as the only thing old about the Accord is its name.

The Accord Sedan is available in six trim levels, while the sleek Accord Coupe comes in four trim levels. Two powerful engines are available, starting with two variations of the 2.4 liter 4-cylinder - one with 177 horsepower in LX models, the other with 190 horsepower in EX models. Either version can be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission for quick acceleration or a 5-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control that optimizes shifts on climbs and descents. The most powerful engine ever offered in the Accord, the 3.5 liter V6 pumps out 268 horsepower with either a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission or the aforementioned 5-speed automatic, which features Variable Cylinder Management. VCM® shuts down one bank of engine cylinders while cruising to maximize fuel savings. The standard double wishbone front suspension provides predictable cornering feel and a smooth, stable ride.
