America's midsize sedan segment is one of the most crowded and fiercely competitive in the business. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/camry/">Toyota Camry</a> has long been our nation's best seller, while the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/accord/">Honda Accord</a> has dutifully come in second place, like some sort of codependent Cal Naughton Jr. riding Ricky Bobby's back bumper.<br />
<br />
There was that one year, 2001, when the Accord briefly broke the Camry's streak, marring what would today have been a 17-year-long run of best-selling car titles. The Accord pulled the opposite move in 2011, letting sales slip far enough to let not only the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> by, but the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/altima/">Nissan Altima</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fusion/">Ford Fusion</a>, as well. Aside from those anomalies, the Camry and Accord have been first and second in this segment since before many of you readers could even drive.<br />
<br />
It's 2014, and these frenemies have never before faced a threat to their world order as strong as today's class of family sedans. The aforementioned Altima and Fusion are perhaps the most capable challengers, but the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/malibu/">Chevrolet Malibu</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/hyundai/sonata/">Hyundai Sonata</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/kia/optima/">Kia Optima</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/volkswagen/passat/">Volkswagen Passat</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/mazda/mazda6/">Mazda6</a> are all capable of convincing new buyers to walk their way.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/03/2014-honda-accord-v6-touring-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/03/2014-honda-accord-v6-touring-review/">2014 Honda Accord V6 Touring</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:57:00 EST.
