Vehicle Summary
The 2008 Camry — the long-standing best-selling car in the U.S. — was extensively restyled and upgraded for 2007, and it's unchanged this year but for some cosmetic exterior and interior choices. The archrival Honda Accord is consistently the second-best-seller, but Honda claims it's No. 1 among individual buyers as opposed to rental and other fleets. Other midsize sedan competitors include the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima, Saturn Aura and Volkswagen Passat, to name a few.
