I have not driven the Camry, but a good friend just drove the new one, and he was realyl disappointed. he said it was really sluggish. I drive my GF's 2006 Accord 4 cylidar all the time, and it is a sweet ride. teh car is as stiff as any car I have ever been in, and the ride is fairly quiet, and it is very peppy with good power even at low RPMs.
