2018 Accord (10th generation)

[jut703]

I prefer the looks of the Camry. Much more elegant.



The Accord doesn't look as cohesive to me. Front is quite pug-nosed, rear looks top heavy where the trunk/rear lights look wider than the bumper.



Interior looks much nicer than the Camry's though which has that awfully small locally-spec'd head unit.

photos of the accord rear don't do it any justice. once it drives past you, it looks really good, but yes the front takes alot of time accepting.

the camry wins the exterior, but the interior isnt as good as the accords(some flimsy knobs suck)(paddleshifter isnt solid)

parang US' base LX lang tong local variant with 18inch rims, 8inch infotainment. Am I missing something? And they charge 2.3M

I guess mahal na lahat ngayon.

At this rate, dodoble na presyo in a few years time.

10 years ago, totl Altis/Civic costs 900k. Now it's almost double..

2009? We bought our 2.0V Altis for 1.2M. Same price for the Civic 2.0S, Mazda 3 2.0R, etc.

The last time the TOTL was 900k was in the early 2000s, 945k yung 9th gen Altis 1.8G.

That may well be true but progress is progress. And all these manufacturers are adding features to differentiate themselves from the competition. Once upon a time, these features were born into being thru R&D and the desire to compete or remain competitive. We all benefit with these plethora of features. And believe me these guys spend a ton on Quality control. Their brand image hinges on these things.

Even in your own businesses ----whatever the industry----- you dont stand still. You look for ways to give value to your customers or extract a competitive advantage over your hungry adversaries. Necessity and competition are the drivers of innovation.

I can assure you....you dont innovate....you die.

The Accord was on display today - interior is head and shoulders above the Camry's. Tech, features, and overall fit and finish definitely a step uo from both the Civic and CRV.

I still like the Camry's exterior more, but only slightly. The Accord actually looks better in person than in pictures.

Too pricey for 2.3M. If it had the 2.0L turbo engine, the price would have been more justified. The new Mazda6 2.5L SkyActiv turbo is even cheaper by a few thousand, I guess.

Better engine, but the Mazda 6 is showing its age vs the Accord. The Accord is just more of a boss car especially inside - more space, more upscale finish. And 100% sure the majority of the buying market of the Accord and Mazda 6 won't use the extra 60 hp.

The Mazda 6 2.5 turbo is the spiritual successor of the old Legacy 2.5GT in the sense that it brings class-leading power and torque in the midsize market, but like the Legacy I doubt that a superb powertrain and driver-oriented handling will sway buyers away from the Camry or Accord.

This segment seems popular to a more senior demographic. Most of the CAMRYs & ACCORDs I've seen(those local to me, at least) have owners taking the backseat, driven. Legroom & comfort are likely more the draw than extra ooomph. I've also yet to personally know an owner of either to drive the car himself. Lucky chauffeurs!...Can't help have this imagination of really not minding becoming one.....But to be an owner? I can't see this blue collar ever being nor fitting. Long accepted to unlikely be fated.[emoji17]

I used to own an Accord and I am in my 40s now. Until the time I feel my driving senses have numbed to a useless state will I let a chauffeur drive me around.

My wife and I are decided that a midsize is the car we want next. I have the fondness for the Accord but the Mazda6 turbo feels good in my hands during my test drive. However, the likelihood of a Camry in our hands is nearer due to my wife’s company policies.

At 2.3M, the Accord 1.5T is priced above the competition. It has the tech and the features but the engine is its low point. HondaPH is expecting brand name and all the tech will justify the price. For a bit more and with some discounts, you are now looking at a well-fitted, composed, and sporty VW Passat. The Accord 2.0T is the king of midsize cars in the US now and HondaPH should have brought it here as a statement. Nagpapaka Toyota naman sila with the RAV4 and Camry.

I have the impression, and those that I've seen at least, that those who get the Camry are men in their fifties and older.

Those who drive the Accord are men who have somewhat accepted that they are already old, just like this guy below.

Of course, those who drive the Mazda 6 belong to the younger generation! Or at the very least, those that are "feeling young".
