gentlemen, my view is based on my experience currently residing overseas. There are lots of Toyota and Honda models that I have seen, evaluate and even test-drive, compare to models available in Malaysia. So, here it goes:
Camry vs accord - camry loss. camry does not have a 3.5L engine. Accord does. the 2.4 iVTEC DOHC has better performance than the 2.4 VVT-i. besides, the Camry in Malaysia is of low spec, does not have twin tail pipes, sunroof and bodykit, like the overseas model does (the 2.4L Camry does have twin tail pipes in overseas model).
Altis vs civic - the altis is more well known as corolla overseas. it is gaining higher reputation due to its more attractive design, looks and cheap price. new civic is attractive also, but needs a bodykit to make it attractive. The corolla is well design even without a bodykit.
Vios vs city - the new Vios is very attractive, especially with the bodykit. and, well priced too. but, it will be challenged by the new City (sharp, fierce looks).
Rav4 vs crv - Definitely, RAV4 is far more superior than CRV. The new RAV4 is very well designed (the model in Malaysia is the old one). Interior, exterior, design, looks, engine, robustness, RAV4 wins.
Wish vs stream - Certainly, Toyota Wish wins. Even the new Stream still cannot beat the current Wish. I wonder what is happening to Stream.
Yaris vs jazz - Yaris wins all-out. No doubt about it. The new Jazz still cannot take on Yaris in terms of comfort, space.
Estima vs oddyessey - The new Oddyssey (sharper, more fierce looks) are gonna beat Estima this time. The current Estima does not have the karisma to beat the new Oddyssey.
Alphard vs ? - I would compare Alphard versus L A Great (better known worldwide as Oddyssey with a 3.5L iVTEC DOHC engine). Then, in this regard, L A Great wins due to its more superior looks, space, accesories, comfortability. However, the new Alphard 2009 will certainly beat the L A Great in looks, but not yet in engine.
Avanza vs ? - Avanza is not sold wordwide. Besides, it is just to small to make a comparison with any other MPV.
Innova vs ? - I do not know what to compare Innova with. Besides, Innova in Malaysia is a low spec. Here it comes with a 2.7 VVT-i engine, full accessories available.
Even Hilux & Hiace van vs ? & ? van ...? - No idea.
oh.. one more Fortuner vs ? what le? I would compare Fortuner with Honda MRV or Pilot. In terms of engine, Fortuner wins because the high spec comes with 291bhp 4.0L V6 engine, sunroof, GPS, Rear Camera, etc (Fortuner in Malaysia is low spec) compare to the 3.5 iVTEC-DOHC MRV/Pilot. However, in terms of looks and interior, the new 2009 Pilot is far more superior.
So, Gentlemen, as you can see, Toyota and Honda both wins actually. nobody can claim that this brand is better than another. in fact, it all depends back to the buyer, what are you looking for in a car. If you cannot make-up your mind, better use the analytical problem solving and decision making tool in deciding which car best suits you.
