Bryan,

One last thing, if I remember correctly V6 Camrys run on premium gas, V6
Accords take normal. On the long run it will add up.
Oh yeah, I never liked the Camry's dashboard, the Honda's larger dials and
thinner pointers are a bit more pleasing, but it's subjective. But you'll
be looking at them for a while!

Pete
