SpoiledMan,

At the end of the day, very very few Camry drivers will every put the car to outer most limits. Most of the target demographic is more keen on the look of a vehicle, the brand and reliability factor.

Honda owners are typically looking for a bit more performance.

For driving in a Major city (which is probably where most of the Camry's are sold), in stop and go traffic, it's a matter of personal taste than it is outright performance.

Performance of an Accord vs Camry - Advantage Accord
Reliability and Customer Service - Advantage Honda (by a hair)
Styling of the Camry vs. Accord - Advantage Camry
Current Buzz in the Auto Industry - Advantage Toyota
Racing Buzz - Advantage Toyota

At the end of the day, the 2 are pretty much toe to toe. If you look at the number of vehicles sold, Camry sales are typically about 10-20% higher (~40,000) than the number sold by month for that of an Accord (35,000) in the US. Worldwide, the divide grows even bigger.
