I think we should also include in the comparison the new 3.3 liter Hyundai Sonata even if it's a Korean car.

3.3 V6 234hp P 1,450,000.... not bad statistics until you ask what brand...



suddenly 1.45M sounds so expensive for the brand...

how do korean cars perform? korean cars have this reputation of being very "sirain". beep beep to all hyundai owners...

Camry - Daddy's car
Likes:  Big saloon.  Good drive.  Beige-colored cabin  
Dislikes:  Cheap Toyota plastics.
Mods:  18" wheels.  Lowered 1.5"

Accord - Tito's car
Likes:  A true driver's car.  Excellent build quality and materials.
Dislikes:  Rear exterior design.  Shade of wood trim.  Grey-colored cabin (depressing!    ).
Mods:  18" wheels.  Lowered 1.5".

Cefiro - Lolo's car
Likes:  More suited for chauffeur-driven peeps.
Dislikes:  Jurassic design.  Heavy.

No problems with any of the Hyundais in the garage...

..oh wait. I have a few "kalampags" someplace in my car....

Uhhh, Hyundais rock! My car is old. Yup, that would be my excuse.

IMO, the new Sonata has the front of the previous Audi A4 and the rear of the current Honda Accord.  

it comes with 17" wheels on 225/50 rubber btw.

is it true that the first things that give way in korean cars are the rubber parts? a doctor frind of mine said that korean rubber easily gets brittle. he experienced this with his carnival.

Although I have to say that the facelifted Camry looks a lot less 'daddy-ish' than the pre-facelifted one.
