This head-to-head comparison pits three 2008-model sedans against last year's Motor Trend Car of the Year award winner, the 2007 Toyota Camry. As author Ron Kiino notes, much can change in a year where the automotive world is concerned, but the Camry still emerged the overall winner thanks to its excellent balance of performance and amenities. The Chevy Malibu finished a close second, although three out of four judges indicated that Honda's stellar resale and reliability record would motivate them to purchase the third-place Accord over the Malibu.
