Well, Edmunds tested the family sedans (they missed the Altima, which is a little odd to us) and proclaim the all-new '08 Accord as the one that rules them all.
Edmunds reports: Revitalized Malibu Takes on Accord and Camry.
Surprisingly, the Camry came in third. Or is it surprising a Chevy beat a Toyota? In any event, neither of them were better than the Accord, so arguing who comes next is like (something funny here and make sure to link to Alison Krauss 'cause she's so purty).
We're still disappointed that cars seem to be getting bigger and bigger. The EPA's designation that the Accord is now a large car is a testiment to even green Honda getting sucked up in the bigger is better game. It's hard to argue, however, since the car, according to Edmunds, is still the best family sedan. Shame on Honda, however, since during the test Edmunds only saw 20 mpg from the 4-cylinder engine in the Accord.
That's a snap of the winner: 2008 Honda Accord LX-P.
I recently wrote a blog on how Hondas and Toyotas are constantly topping or dominating the top 10 spots on lists like Edmunds. It is obvious that these two car makers know their stuff... even if they do have some design flaws or shortcomings.

No way can the camary or the accord take the 2008 chevy malibu. The malibu looks like a sport car but is a full size family car it has really nice interior better thatn toyota or honda can match. And by the way support ur economy rather than the world.

I am getting 21+ mpg with my V6 Accord (2008 model) - It now has over 2500 miles on it.
