      Joe, it seems to me that all the pieces are falling perfectly in place for Toyota. They're going for the ruling Japanese Auto brand! This Camry continues this hot streak. 🔥 Reminds me just like back in 2018 redesign.

      The Honda is quicker 0 to 60. It also has a roomier interior. I was leaning towards buying the Honda, but this new Camry looks like it might have an advantage in driving dynamics. I prefer the styling of the Honda, but I'd buy the Touring in an AWD if that was an option, so that's a point to the Toyota. A back to back demo when the Toyota hits dealers will sort out this out.

With my lease ending on my 21 XSE with standard 4banger, I stalked the dealership website for a month. Finally check last week and they had two of them. One of which was the exact color configuration I wanted and fully loaded. Called immediately the next morning and they actually still had it. They held it for me until I got there on my lunch to test drive it. Told them I’d be back after work and asked them to hold it. Luckily, they did.

Personally, I always like it's styling, ride and handling, comfort, space and performance. The V-TEC Beast is a story for another day. Reliability was never an issue. Sure the Camrys are much more comfier, efficient and reliable, it never had the WOW factor which the Accords had. I also liked the Camrys, but this hit me something different this time around 😍 Yet, fingers crossed until the 2025 Accord will hit the market soon..
