my reply

simple as
508- french, new 2012 car, new systems and this car can go autobahn with the whoophing effect. no sound with high speed due to very good design n insulation

mondeo- US-euro, 2011 car, good engine, non looker. draw back is Sime Darby sucks

passat- US looks bad, euro version is nicer. my father who doesnt feel like checking out car- he felt in love in passat euro. 2010 car, good insulation effect. US version have 2011 specs, good mileage.

decision?
y get a 2010 car when u already in the end of 2011, get the 2012 car...be in the future...dun get the past..

dilema?
fear the price might drop and new unexpected problem. everybody knows if u get a european car...tat is expected.

so go for wat u like...that settles it.

ps...if i got extra 40k, ill change my 308T to 508...am be like a boss...wahahahaha
