If you had to pick between a 2022 Chevrolet Camaro with a V8 and a Honda Accord, which one would you choose? In terms of practicality and fuel efficiency, the Honda Accord would be the clear winner.

Although it does require the loyalty/conquest stipulation, it’s still a good deal without It considering how much of a car you get. Cars Direct also pointed out that the Camaro has a residual value of 62% after 39 months, which means that it could be a good deal if you plan to buy out the lease after the term.

Also, if leasing isn’t your thing, then Chevy is offering a 1.9% financing rate for up to 60 months (on approved credit if you would rather buy it. Honda also has a competitive financing rate of 2.9% for 48 months for the Accord for well-qualified buyers.
