Also Europeans at that price range won't be as comfortable nor as spacious as the Camry.

Yup exactly, which means those cars are even further away from meeting TS requirement.

With modern turbo, powerful engine and fuel saving can co-exist provided driven reasonably.

Agree, the Optima GT will fulfill practically all of TS's requirements provided he can still find a new one.

But even if TS can find a new Optima GT is the badge acceptable?

Frankly, this so called driven reasonably is like driving it in the manner of normal aspirated engine. Take for example, i drive 2L mazda, my close relative drive 2L turbo car. Yes, fuel consumption similar, but she drives pretty slow, noticeably slower than me on average, quite mild on the accelerator. When i took over a while when she on extended overseas trip, with the way i drive, actually fuel consumption fare worse than my mazda (but of course the acceleration is noticeably faster; average speed wise similar since the road condition driven same as my own personal car).

Since thermodynamic efficiency didn't differ significantly between turbo and non turbo engines, there is still this opposite relationship, more power = more fuel required. Have to keep this in mind. If hybrid powertrain, i can't comment, because never experienced first hand. If really just want to drive leisurely, get something like the 2.5L naturally aspirated new camry. Servicing also more reasonable and reliable, whilst turbocharged engine has more pressure and heat stressed components and more demanding on engine oil.

Kia Sorento with the 2.2D would tick all the boxes for you and surprise you at RM190,000

Do go for a test drive.
