2004, camry gets new powerful v6.
wow, that didnt help anyone out, did you agree or disagree with him?

also, toyota is going to throw in a engine thats bigger and more powerful, didnt we say that kills resale? Thats not even halfway thru its life cycle. In that case, whats stopping honda from doing the same to the accord in 2005?

Also, I'm guessing the next gen TL will have at least 250hp base, considering the Accord is 240hp. And the the TL-S will be somewhere near 300hp, which wont be a problem even with the current J32.

Uh, not really.... the new accord for your info is a 2003 model. The V6 for camry will be a 2004 model. So infact, only 1 yr behind accord. And who cares about the rest. Not worth mentioning. ?? Dont put premium gas in the v6 camry, who cares, you lose a lil bit of HP, not noticeable. And did you read the Honda released stuff? The accord was gonna run on premium fuel, would have given more power according to Honda, but honda doesnt require it, because they didnt want to raise operating costs. So what???? i guess an engine can use regular gas and run fine, even if it is recommended. Not noticeable power loss. Oh, BTW- like i have said before, take this to PM, oh nevermind i forgot, Kazi's special and doesn't respond to them. :fawk:
The 2003 Accord is 240hp on regular fuel, 250hp on premium fuel.

Unlocked. No reason to lock it other than the two arguing. It's fine for now.

How many of you have driven the 2002 Camry V6?? It isnt slow.
I dribe my parent's Solara all the time, does that count? No, it's not slow, but it has body roll so bad that I bottom out when cornering hard.

I didn't type all that so you two could *****

Anyway, I think the Accord will do good for now. The '06 and '07 models may have a bit more trouble selling compaired to the '01 and 02' models, but unless there's a major recall or some huge mechanical problem, I think the Accord will stay near the top of the best seller list.

you may want to slow down a bit. Im sure camry owners who use the car properly dont take corners at high speeds.

as a sidebar to this thread, and to go along with anyone refering to Chrylsler/Dodge products, word from inside DC is that the next LH/Intrepid sized car will adopt the Stratus nameplate, and will be the car used in Winston Cup. This leaves a hole for a brand new compact, Civic/current-Stratus, sized car. Sounds interesting...
There are three sedans planned at DCX for dodge. Intrepid replacement (JX rear wheel drive), Stratus replacment (same class), Neon replacement (same class). They may choose to race the Stratus instead of the Intrepid; however, both the Stratus and Neon are going to be designed by both Daimler Chrysler and Mitsubishi, but will be different cars in different classes. The Stratus will get the 2.4 DOHC designed by Daimler Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai (It's not just a Hyundai's design). And most likely a newer version of the 2.7, possibly bumped to 3.0. Who knows. Chrysler seems to be improving a lot, especially in safety. They need to get these cars right if they want to turn over a profit.
