Um, they both have pretty similar trim levels.

Those would all be horrible purchases. They may be fine vehicles, but the rapid depreciation American vehicles still have makes them an unwise buy.

For me at any rate, resale value means nothing since I plan on keeping my cars around ten years
Well by that don't even think about getting a American car.
I'm getting a Camry in the next 2 years but it's gonna be a 2005/2006 version. I don't like the new style.

ITs because of resale I like NA cars, well actually letting some other sucker take the hit for the first couple yrs. Also, by then if the car has any issues they can be pretty much fixed or reported on so you don't get blindsided.
There is nothing like driving new thoughits then I choose what I want as opposed to worry over $. Although CNN autos says my new Versa is one of the cheapest cars to maintain! yay. . .
BTW there was a Canadian study done that showed after 15 yrs 45% of domestics were still on the road and 55% of Japanese were still on the road, so edge to Japan as we have come to expect but not nearly the gap pushed about by people backing their favs.
Remember, this was also in the bad ole days where NA manufacture was pushing out some junk and the two best Honda and Toyota were also lumped in with every other Japanese manufacturer

Um, yeah
I had a perception that (at least here), some very important options are easy to add to lower end toyota vehicles, but apparently impossible to add to hondas without moving up a whole 'trim level'.
So I can take my base corolla and add 11tybillion airbags, but I can't do that a civic.
Looking at the accord and camry it's pretty similar, um, so you're correct.
I was wrong *runs away sobbing*

Living upside down has its drawbacks. All that blood rushing to your head makes you giddy thus less coherent. Plus it's bad for your heart.

Depreciation is NOT a factor for people who keep their cars for at least 10 years. It is only a factor for people who trade cars every 3 years/30k miles. People who change cars that often generally can't afford the car anyway so it is imperative they get a high resale of the car so they don't go upside-down on the car note. People who keep their cars longer generally are able to buy the car outright.

I suspect that's a large part of it. Plus it's pretty dry here.
Not a spot of body rust on it (clear coat is still intact too).

Even under the harsh sun? No chips from the road? Damn that is one clean swept highway then.

Well, there are stone chips in places, but the plastic protectors on the leading edge of the bonnet and headlights have protected it well.
I'm impressed the clear coat has survived the sun too...

My 2002 Protegé5 is rusting like crazy... I don't park in the garage and the Canadian salt wash in the winter and harsh sun in the summer is making my car rust.

Unfortunately, these lists do not correct for the number of cars on the road and thus artificially exaggerate the likelihood of more common cars being stolen. A better number, which I cannot find reported anywhere, would be cars stolen per 100,000 on the road.
