I have owned two Accords - an 87 and a 2000 model. I can't therefore comment fairly on Camrys but I don't think they are inferior to Accords. Both have won many industry awards like JD Power and Car Of The Year. Accords are fairly conservative styling wise compared to Camrys. The current year Camry is a very handsome car. You can't go wrong with either. Personally I prefer Accords having owned two. Accords are simply indestructible, refined and a marvellous companion over the years.
