    232 Horsepower standard meanwhile the top engine Accord (Nearly $40k for the Touring) is only 204 horsepower and probably gets similar MPG too…Toyota did good on this one

      Lol horsepower DOESN’T matter. The previous Camry made 301HP and the previous Accord made 252HP.

      The Accord was faster to 60. It may still be the same for this year.

          Never is gong to happen. The government is up the car manufactures to get as high MPG as possible. Meanwhile China and India don’t seem to care about pollution so what is the point?

        That was mainly because of the amazing 10 speed in the Accord, but also this is the base powertrain being compared to the top powertrain Accord. I’m sure a Camry GR/TRD will follow later with around 300HP and that will for sure be quicker than the top engine in the current Accord

          Maybe, we don’t know if there will be a bigger engine yet.

          And it seems like you’re right. The amazing 10AT was a big reason as to why it got to 60 so quickly. I know this because the 6MT 2.0T was about half a second slower putting it behind the Toyota Camry, however I don’t think it’s quite fair to compare a manual gearbox to an automatic because the Camry was only available with an automatic.

            I think Toyota or aisin made the v6 Camry 8speed intentionally weak off the line to prevent transmission failure. I had a 12 Camry V6 and after I put wider tires on it, it launched really well. Better than the current TRD Camry.
