Camry Losing Steam And Is In Danger Of Losing Top-Selling Status

Toyota Camry might lose the place as top-selling car, after sales dropped 2% in the first half of the year.

While Toyota’s Camry sales dropped, rivals in the midsize segment, such as Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Honda Accord, reported big gains. At the end of June, the Accord was trailing Camry with 21,000 vehicles, compared with the gap of 59,000 vehicles during the same period last year. Trying to keep the model on the first place, Toyota has cut the vehicle’s price and offered big discounts.

The Accord is the better car. The Fusion, Altima, and Mazda6 are least on par with the Camry.

Isn't it because the Accord has had a full year or redesigned sales, Camry was redone a year earlier so you had a brand new Camry vs a last model year Accord.

Toyotas all suffer at the moment from this flawed design approach of "sporty-ish when looking head-on, but completely indistinguishable and uninspiring from all other angles." I feel like the lasting impression of the car ends up being "meh" as a result for a lot of people. If not for Toyota's legendary reliability I don't see any appeal at all.

The 626 is the best car out on the midsize market. It has better handling than an Accord and similar power in 4 cylinder guize. It is also a nicer car than a Camry.
