Honestly I doubt I'd buy either one with the possible exception of the 3.5L SE version of the Altima with a 6 speed manual, but I'd still say the Camry is a more reliable car based on many different independant long-term tests combined with personal experience.
Theres no question that Toyota quality has slipped some in recent years especially compared to the older "built in Japan" models, but they still have the edge in reliability even over other Japanese brands.
Edit: Based on the strident tone of some responses here I urge the OP the go & drive both cars himself rather then rely on biased opinion ... I'd also suggest checking out a Subaru Legacy GT while your at it ... IMO its a better car then either of the others.
