Vinepro Clutched May 15, 2017 Share May 15, 2017 Anyone notice why agent stop bringing in Honda Accord 2.4, Nissan Teana 2.5 this year? It's not on their lists. Even MI Subaru Legacy 2.5 stocks is out! Does it mean that only Camry 2.5 is sellable for higher cc Japanese mid size sedan? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic May 15, 2017 Share May 15, 2017 These type of Sedans are dying. Compared to any 1.4L - 1.6L turbo petrol/diesel SUV/CUV. You look at those from Merc and BMW,you look at how they are priced compared to these expensive Japanese sedans. The similar max torque kick in at lower rpms(more fun to drive), road tax if petrol engine will be cheaper, petrol now so ex turbo versions are more fuel efficient, car insurance also cheaper... It's just a matter of time they will be gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat3g 2nd Gear May 16, 2017 Share May 16, 2017 2 litre model sells better due to tax structure. Many buyers have also moved from 2.5 to 2.0 turbo engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a matter of time they will be gone. Those turbo models with puny engine capacities are not sustainable and run out of breadth very fast. Just think of Ben Johnson on steroids. Nothing beats the good old Naturally Aspirated engines. 1000cc Ford Focus weighing over 1.3 tonnes 1200cc Nissan Qashqai Edited May 16, 2017 by Vinceng 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing beats the good old Naturally Aspirated engines. 1000cc Ford Focus weighing over 1.3 tonnes 1200cc Nissan Qashqai That's quite convention thinking bro. It's what the market demands and I think those cars drive fine, aside from the irritating lag that you don't get from an NA engine. Good old NA is only fun if the engine are tune right.

Mazda 6 used to enjoy cevs rebate but none now. The drop in coe is used to compensate for the loss of cevs rebate.

Jq1988 4th Gear June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 Heard they are bringing in euro 6 cars..no further notice of new accord, teana arrival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic June 21, 2017 Share June 21, 2017 Accord and Teana disappeared from the road long before 2017, it is not because of the impending new turbo model that they discontinue the existing ones. The two models were simply not selling long before this. Both models have been around for far too long without any revamp. Camry outsold the two because the model was renewed along the way. Mazda 6 seems to be the most popular model among the Jap brands currently. But that is still a relative comparison, none of the models moves by volume. Looking at Euro models, BM 5, Audi A6/7 have been disappearing as well. We dont see that many new car of these models on the road. Even the once very popular e class, we dont see that many of the new model running around. While the CAT B allocation has been quite sizeable relative to CAT A, I believe many of the CAT B were used by those lower CC cars, lesser of the above 2.4/2.5 L NA cars anymore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
