I remember reading this on the newsstand, my jaw literally dropped, the guy standing next to me thought I was crazy l

The most pleasing thing to me is where the Altima is in relation to my Camry. Same place that is will be from a light...behind me

2nd place? I'd say that's pretty impressive.

I remember picking that issue up on the newsstand and flipping through it. As soon as I saw the idea behind the article, my thoughts were "Typical C&D article, they're going to spill their tears of love over anything with a Honda badge..."

I was surprised to find Camry as #2. Who knew?

Granted, they're still C&D, so they'll still heap praise on the Accord for being such a solid design, fun to drive, and how everything in the cabin is "right where it should be", "falls to hand easily", and how it does everything so well. Every objective comparison might show them at parity, but those subjective measures will tilt C&D toward the Accord. Yaaaay Honda. All praise the big, top-heavy "H"! Woo hoo for you!

Mleh.

But anyway, it's good to see the Camry doing well. Especially since I remember the days of the Gen3 when C&D had an comparo article about sport sedans, praising a lot abou the SE but saying it was "less than truly quick". Say what you want, I can still look at my Gen3 and feel proud of its design, so there.

Oh, but back on the Gen6... rock on, ya fast 4-door! And I'm looking forward to joining the Gen6 ranks soon myself!

What I like too, is when you look at the various acceleration tests as a whole, the Camry is faster overall than the 0-60 first place car.

#2 isnt bad!
stocker V6 camry runs better timrs than my friends mustang GT 5speed w/ intake and exhuast...reall impressive!

It is amazing that the 2nd place Toyota Camry V-6

is actually 350 lbs heavier

and more fuel efficient

than the first place Subaru Impreza WRX.

Not really the test is from 0-60 MPH ..... not 0-60 times in the shop for blown diverter valves - hahahha

I had a 2.0T passat, chipped, with exhaust ... the Camry is faster - Stock

I owned a 07 B6 2.0t for 7 weeks. I should have bought the SE V6 to begin with. Oh well....lesson learned.
