that looks.. underwhelming as usual.

[antony]

Honda is still severely affected worldwide by stock shortages all over the world.

That was a result of the Japaneese earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March.

[[SDCTVE]]

bring the MDX back!

[azn_k3nt]

Really toyota medium beat honda accord euro???

everytime and everywhere i see in Melbourne is always the accord euro..........=/

[[SDCTVE]]

theres a sh*tload of camrys around..... esp now with the new hybrid model!

oh well, they dont know what they're missing :p

[antony]

The Camry has ALWAYS been the top selling car in the medium sedan class,followed by Mazda 6,Accord Euro,sometimes VW Jetta or Passat,but lately Ford Mondeo has been doing well,and Hyundai I45 is also becomming popular.

Good to see it ahead of the M6 and Liberty!

[praja6]

Camry always sells the top. You can get a base model Altise auto camry brand new for 25k driveaway with rearview camera.. now camry comes with 6airbags and safety features..

Liberty still the expensive one and Subaru dealers dont want to talk about when you ask to reduce the price, that may be a reason it slow sells?

or the fact its a boring car? id rather a Suzuki Kazashi than a liberty these days

[praja6]

How reliable is kizashi? I just checked in carsales site, the prestige Auto/CVT kizashi can get around 34k driveaway,which is almost the same price as the standard model accord euro compare with the same accord euro is 40+k for lux...

Considering Toyota and Suzuki has been building engines together in a joint venture for years, it's probably average.

The only thing keeping Suzuki at bay is it's poor dealer network... the same problem they have in US at the moment.

You cant blame Suzuki tho, they've been more of a assembly plant (contract manufacturer) for other car manufactures for years and years (Suzuki factory pumped out Holdens, Chevolets, Fiats, Mazda's, Nissans etc). So they never really had the effort or the capital to develop their own thing.

[antony]

A very important reason why the Camry sells so well is that its the cheapest mid sized sedan on the market,but its also the only locally produced one,which means it sells to massive fleets,such as government,Telstra,and car rental companies,which also guarantees massive discounts,but poor resale values.

Its a good car,very good value for money,roomy,and not bad looking,but nothing desirable about owning one...and very boring to drive.

The Kizashi looks far more exciting,but has been a bit of a flop sales wise globally.

[I CU2]

or the fact its a boring car

They say the Liberty is more of a drivers car compared with the Euro but this current generation of Subaru cars all look like ass.

The older liberty aged very well. This new one was ugly since the day of release.

[antony]

The Liberty looks hideous,when I was looking at cars to replace my Jetta,I went to a Subaru dealership,but knew I could never live with anything that looked like that,so did not even sit in,or drive it.

Bought the Euro a few days later.

[[SDCTVE]]

I'ts ashame, I really rated the older Liberty. I wanted a 06 STI tuned Liberty GT..........OH YEAH!!!!

[Lemonhead]

16.GREAT WALL 657 !!!
well done
I do agree, current Liberty are not the best looking, but they do drive well. and with their proven 4WD, they are attractive mechanically.

[Fredoops]

Hmm new Jetta pricing just got released:

118TSI 6spd manual $26490 (CHEAPER than a mazda6 base model)
118TSI 7spd DSG $28990

118TSI 7spd DSG Comfortline $32490
103TDI 6spd DSG comfortline $34990

147TSI highline 6spd DSG $37990


Wow......

[[SDCTVE]]

still 147? would've thought it would be a 155? same as the GTI n Eos?

[I CU2]

Ironically, the Accord is priced higher than the Passat in the UK...awkward.

North america tune vs euro tune

Shipping costs between Japan and Europe is like 2.5 times as much compared to Japan to here

[antony]

In Australia,the Euro and Jetta are direct rivals,but in the USA,the Acura TSX and Volkswagen CC are direct rivals,and in most other global markets,the Euro and Passat are direct rivals.

I want to compare the new Jetta to the Euro,and when they are released next month,I will test a 118,2.0 TDI,and 147 TSI.

I still think the Euro is MORE car for the money,better built,and superior value,as well as better looking...and possably comfier.

The Jetta will have more toys to play with,more rear legroom,and a bigger boot.

Let the battle begin.

VW are very aggressive,and this shows in their pricing.

[Fredoops]

Compare the Jetta to the Mazda 6 and Camry actually, because at that price, it's no longer a euro rival. The equipment level for the new Jetta (even the base model) is... Like the standard euro.

[I CU2]

Yet the Japanese still rip us off :(.

I thought the Jetta was a small car in the league with your corollas and lancers, only more pricey?

The base Jettas are now pitching them at the Camry,and entry level 6.

The comfortline model is priced at the same as the base Euro,and the top 147 TSI is priced at the same as the Euro luxury.
Throw in navigation,and they will be much the same once again.

Top Jetta comes standard with leather,but not sunroof...

The Jetta 5 was almost the same size as the Euro 1,and the Jetta 6 is almost the isentical size to the Euro 2.

VW are trying to stress that its not a fancy Golf with a boot anymore,rather its own model,inbetween the Golf and Passat.

[Fredoops]

Jetta's too big (internally) for the "small car" category
Passat is too big (internal & externally) for the "medium car" category, yet it's small for the "big car" category (skoda superb does that)
