If you compare the Camry to the Saturn Aura, the Aura, will win by a longshot. If you get the V6 on a base Camry, it will cost more than getting the top of the line Aura XR with STANDARD V6 and automatic transmission. Thats not even including all the little options the Aura comes standard with. Its the next big thing waiting to happen in the automotive world. Once the public finds out about these things they wont be able to keep them on the lot. In customer (and professional) reviews the Saturn wins, and its not even close. Even with all the excitement it has caused in the enthusiast world, JD Power is yet to rate it, and is not included in many head on tests. The Saturn is also an rebadged Opel, giving it European looks and feel. Cars.com has great reviews by consumers and pros. The CAmry has already had a recall, while the Aura is clean of problems. Toyotas recent past should give you some clues, and its not what you think. Last year Toyota had the most recalls, but the media "failed" to notice since millions would stand against them because of thier reputation. These days reputation is nothing, technology advances so fast it cant keep up. For ex: three years ago GM was one of the worst companies, now they have the most top-rated vehicles, and the quality/reliability surpasses Toyota. Honda is still on top of the reliability ratings. Ford also had more recalls than GM and DaimlerChrysler combined, for reasons like exploding engines and wheels falling off. Here is a quote from the Washington Posts review of the Toyota CAmry "one of which is the Chevrolet Malibu, which in my real-world driving experience has been every bit as good and reliable as the much-ballyhooed Camry but has been maligned primarily because it is a Chevrolet". Oddly enough that was an '04 Malibu VS the totally redisigned '07 Camry. Common problems with Toyotas are useless cupholders, cheap stereo, grotesquely underpowered 4 cylinder engine, and plastic rattling until it falls off. People then complain that when they take it to the dealer to be fixed they just say "The cars are made with so much plastic its practically impossible to fix" GM is also the worlds fastest growing manufacturer, and that dosent happen by accident. Read these reviews (search lowest first on both and you will see which has more problems)

Then test drive them both and see which is best, I guarantee you will pick the Aura.

That's quite a difference in cars you're looking at. 3 different sized cars, 3 different prices... what are you looking to get out of your car?? Better gas - civic or prius (or camry hybrid, but that's much more cash). Less money? Prious. More space and/or seats? Camry. A more solid car? Camry. Something cool for younger people? Civic. Something reliable? Well, you really, really can't go wrong with any of these cars on your list - both these brands have as good a track record as a car company can have and none will steer you wrong.

The Camry is very nice for the 2007 model year.
Pros:
Class leading engine
Hybrid power
Lexus-like interior
Great value for the money
Among the most reliable car in it's class
Cons:
Most Camrys sell for full MSRP
Very hard to haggle

I bought mine as soon as they came out and now it seems that the the transmission is kind of weird. I bought the 4 cyl. , I wanted the V-6 but at that time the gas was really high. Other than that I love the car. If you get one try for the V-6.
