I get what they're doing with the aggressive front ends on their products.

Keeping consistent brand image is important I understand.

But ... that's a bit too far. When it comes to full size sedans, it's Accord all the way in my book.

Honestly never understood how Toyota sold so many of these damned things lol.

Because they're reasonably cheap, reasonably economical, reasonably reliable, and can carry a reasonable amount of people and stuff.

If all you're looking for is something to go from A to B, day in, day out, with space to carry your kid's science project, it's perfect. And that's all a lot of people want.

In all honesty, I sell these cars and the Camry is no joke. Its a great reliable, decent performing sedan. It's great for the average buyer. I.E. Mom, dad, couple kids. And the price is hella cheep. SEs are sold at 5-6k back of msrp. Easiest car we have to sell

I have a 2014 Accord Sport as my daily so the FR-S can sleep in the garage. And man...... Do I freaking love it. I LOVE IT. Made me consider getting rid of my FR-S and just driving the accord. Its just amazing. I got it for $22.5k out the door. Couldn't go wrong. And I get about 500 miles on a tank which lasts me just about 2 weeks !

I just don't understand this trend of making bigger and bigger grills. Less grill means more aerodynamic and sporty looking. That thing looks like a mess. But the rest of the car is not bad... for a Camry. The seats and steering wheel are definitely better than average.
