Earlier this month The Good Car Guy examined the price differential between America's most popular car of 2009, the Toyota Camry, with America's most popular car so far this year, the Honda Accord, and a stylish newcomer, the Hyundai Sonata.

However, a Hyundai Sonata can no longer be equipped with the (less popular but more fun) V6 engine. So when it comes time for a V6 comparison, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are fighting fit.

Earlier this month The Good Car Guy examined the price differential between America's most popular car of 2009, the Toyota Camry, with America's most popular car so far this year, the Honda Accord, and a stylish newcomer, the Hyundai Sonata. As anticipated, the Hyundai came in with lower pricing. More importantly, the Hyundai was more powerful and more fuel efficient than the Honda and Toyota. However, a Hyundai Sonata can no longer be equipped with the (less popular but more fun) V6 engine. So when it comes time for a V6 comparison, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are fighting fit. As are the other three most popular midsize sedans in America.In February, Honda USA sold more than 22,000 Accords. Camry sales were way down at 16,552, but that figure is still out in front of the Ford Fusion (16,459), Nissan Altima (16,198), and Chevrolet Malibu (15,150).
