Just the bottom line is Japanese models design and quality is still a distance away from Europe. For me, Japanese models should be around RM80k to RM100 max. If more than RM100K, I feels it was over price!! Don't you think so??

Most CVT's come from Japan. Want to take back your words? :-) I agree with Dog The Wan that most Japanese cars are on par in terms of safety but they still don't lead the field, choosing instead to leave it to their European counterparts, Note that ABS and airbags first debuted in Mercs, traction control in Saabs, etc. You get what I'm saying. They're happy playing follow the leader and that's what makes the Continental marques better, regardless of marketing or branding. See Fu,

So, how many stars score on this models (XC90)? Paul do you have the no.? Just My opinions: In terms of safety or crash performance, most of the NEW developed cars are perform well and this Volvo only had a corporate image or brand causing you all feel safer.

Just the quality is better compare to Japanese car? I don't disagreed on it, But in general the Outlander score more points on features and technologies, Don't you agree?
