I agree about the interior quality being below expectations these days. I recently test drove an Accord and it was very disappointing. The Interior was terrible. So did I buy a Camry? Nope. The best value, quality and drivability for the money these days is the Kia Optima. more HP, drives smooth and glass, the base LX is better equipped then both the Honda and the Toyota and the styling is light years ahead of the other two. Plus, the warranty is so good that it offers a lot of value to me.
Also the interior was voted as one of the ten best recently and that was the 2015 model, not the 2016.
I also recently sat in a Chevy Impala I love the exterior styling, but yuck, the interior was terribly cheap. The best interior below 30 grand to me is the Chrysler 200S, but the car was just a wee bit too small with my growing boys.
I will say though that of the two tested here, I prefer the Camry. Accords are known for tranny issues. Every heard of what Camrys are not for? Exactly, nothing other than reliability.
