Identical dimensions 2997c.c (I am talking about the old NSX) and I mentioned that it is a detuned version of the NSX engine. Atleast the accord V6 in India uses that engine....

True, just that the cylinder head is different. But the bore and the stroke are the same. And when you have an SOHC cylinder head, its obviously a detuned NSX engine.....got my point?

Accord, 4 cyl if city/suburb, 6cyl if a lot of driving,
although to me the shape of the Camry looks better coordinated.

Accord has a "de-tuned" NSX engine????? OMG....I didn't realize how clueless some people are.
I drove a 2004 Accord EX V-6 about 5-6 hrs to Destin FL. and back.......the thing I noticed about the car is......its not as smooth as a camry 4cyl. or the 6cyl. The transmission is a little slow to react to downshifts. The ride is smooth for the most part...but on the highway....the tires clomp on impact on some surfaces. The interior is nice but the middle dash has to go. I hate the integrated stuff......I need place to put aftermarket stuff in. The car is an awesome value for the money..don't get me wrong..the car is great.
Camry on the other hand.....is a bit floaty. Thats a given though...as all generations have been like that. I never drove the SE model so I can't comment on that one. Interior...its not the greatest but I love the fact that I can still put aftermarket audio stuff in it without paying a couple hundred for an adapter. The car feels roomier than the accord because of the high ceiling. Price isn't its strong point...accord has it beat on that.

BUY USED
Best advice anyone can get. Cars are a waste of money. unless you NEED a NEW car, buy a used one.
dude, you have no idea what a fool you are making yourself out of.
the K20 (2.0 on the RSX/Integra) has the extact same bore/stroke as the engine in Toyota's Altezza RS200 (3SGE vvti).... are they the same?
it is just coincident that those two numbers are the same, (or actually, the engineers found out it is the perfect bore/stroke amount, but that doesn't mean the two engine the same)

I wouldn't buy the Accord or the Camry, since neither has a HEMI.
Yes, I'm kidding, but seriously, what about a Mazda6 or a Subaru Legacy? The latter has AWD and the Mazda comes in 4-door, wagon, and (my-favorite) 5-door varieties. Both, in my opinion, certainly look better.

I own an I4 AT 2003 accord, my parents own an I4 AT 2004 solara (camry coupe). I've driven their car and they've driven mine. The Solara drives like it has one foot in the grave, the throttle, steering and handling are slow, vague and mushy. The feature list was initially impressive to me, but after I drove it, I lost all interest.
Sorry but 4x double wishbone does matter. With just a $40 sway bar upgrade, I have enough suspension composure to handle driving turns at comfortably illegal speeds. I can get my rear end to kick out with hard turning.
At the time I bought this car, there was no other new car that offered this combination of price, performance, comfort and cost of ownership. The Camry is not even close. The TC seems interesting, but that's not the focus of the thread.

i bought a 2004 Camry XLE in April. I love it. A co-worker has a 2004 Accord, and its nice but i think it rides rough and the seats are uncomfortable compared to my camry.
the one feature that i love on the accord are the daylight lighted instrument cluster. that is very nice.
Edit: for those of you who think the V6 camry is slow, i suggest you drive one.

:roll:
The Camry is a boat when it comes to handling. I've had one for a rental car and I though the damn thing was going to go off the road if I made a fast turn. It's somewhat quiet but it didn't stand out to me as being exceptionally quiet. A Ford Taurus handles better than a Camry does.
Camrys are meant for people who do not push a car in any way, shape, or form.
As for Accords, found the same as everyone else, noisy but handles quite well.
