totally agree with you mate. out of your 3 choices - you should also consider the ford mondeo and 508 AND VW jetta - all within the same price range.

me ? if i had the $$$$ i will buy the new VW passat - great engine ( same as audi A4 and great interior - very spacious and legendary german engineering)

but i dun have the $$$ so i will choose the VW jetta - much more spacious and better handling than all 3 japanese cars you have listed.

BUT - if you really must buy a japanese car, then get the teana - best bang for buck and great v6 engine!

camry and accord ? - yawn....

LOL - yes, i will buy proton saga after this post.


back to topic - i have seen a lot of teana on the road - i guess acceptance of the design/price/engine is non issue so not sure why ppl still debating it here?
