The Camry comes at a hefy price tag of around Rs. 22 lakhs (ex. showroom). Add to that RTO, tax and insurance, the price touches nearly, 25L.

Honda vs. Toyota, Merc vs. BMW, Ferrari vs. Lamborghini, etc. These are classic wars.

My personal opinion: Honda makes sexier cars but Toyota are a shade better in terms of longetivity. For looks, compare:


The latest Honda Accord


Toyota Camry

Impressive model but i doubt it will be popular in Indian roads. Quality of the road is not so good here so cant feel the pleasure of that car

Since the camry is completely imported, it attracts the full duty of 105% (or something like that).

Honda Accord is not completely imported but still the import content is high and hence it is cheaper.

As far as why so much tax, it is Indian Government's objective (right or wrong) that goods must be manufactured in India. Imported goods are a drain on Forex and the exports to imports trade balance is still in high favour to imports; hence imports must be
discouraged.

p/s. You people may not know and may not have even heard of 255% customs duty, which I paid once.
