I think the Accord looks better but I trust the Camry more for reliability purposes.

The Accord does look better for sure. It almost looks like they're taking some cues from Audi on the styling.

The front end of the Accord just looks awful IMO...such a huge front overhang and it just looks odd...

Can't stand the new Accord. Front is a dated Ford Taurus and the rear is a frumpy hatchback design with no trunk. And all the lower black trim gives the appearance the car sits too high, like a 4x4.

Completely agree

I third that.

I believe they had to lengthen the front to accomodate the hybrid components. Enthusiasts used to cars costing 5-6 times as much, sure if you think it looks bad fine but I think it looks awesome and so do tons of people. Pairing this with a V6 and a manual, I would have one in my driveway right now.

The hybrid components fit just fine without lengthening the front lol. This isn’t the first Accord Hybrid. It’s just a very strange design in the front, the previous car was much better looking IMO, which also came in a Hybrid.

I agree there is just something off with the new Accord's styling. Camry seems a much better design at this price point.

I don't believe that hybrids need longer front overhangs.
Look at the beautiful new Prius below.
Notice how reasonable the front overhang is?
I wish they did a more upmarket job with the dash.

If they could make the inside look as good as the outside they might bring in new customers that shop other brands.

Maybe some wood trim on the dash and bling up the interior a bit.

It still beats the awkward-looking interiors we have seen in some past versions of the Prius.

Many people don't agree this year Prius might sell 32,000 units in the U.S. which would be the lowest since it came out.

Wood trim doesn’t belong in the Prius lol. That Prius interior is far and away the best one it’s ever had.

The Prius just doesn’t make sense when you can get a Camry that gets such great economy, and people who want the eco quirk buy EVs

Apples and Oranges. Prius models have not sold as well lately because they have more hybrid-competitors now, primarily from Hyundai and Kia. Plus, what Steve just mentioned.....you can also get larger and more comfortable Toyota products with hybrid economy.

Yes......agreed. I, for one, never liked the dorky center-stack gauges and weird layouts of previous versions.

On this one, though, I don't quite agree. Wood trim, especially if it looks like the real stuff and not orange or beige-colored synthetic, can give a warm look to almost any vehicle interior....even a Prius. In fact, IMO, that's one way that Jaguar has gone downhill...they abandoned their rich Walnut and Leather interiors for the colder Teutonic look.
