In same way, looks like new Suzuki whatever will be basically a Nissan Teana. But again, Nissan is now Renault.

Cars are now going towards assembled computer way. Get CPUs from Intel/AMD, motherboards from China/Taiwan, DVD drives from Korea, Harddrives from Seagate/Fujitsu and then assemble in local shop.

In one way it's good. You'll pay just once to get 2-3 different brands

The Teana/Maxima/Cefiro is actually one segment above the Accord size wise. This segment Honda caters to as the Legend or the Acura RL in the States.

1100 i thought the teana, legend and acura rl are of the same segment as the accord only the designs differ. pls dont mind my ignorance.

Speedy, its 1100d (d standing for delight) there is a huge difference between the 1100 and the 1100d but not as much as there is between the Accord and the Legend.

For Honda it goes like this

Civic-Accord-Legend (Acura RL)-Inspire (Acura TL)

For Nissan its

Sentra-Altima-Maxima the Infinity series

For Toyota it is

Corolla-Camry-Avalon - lexus range

Cool man. Sorry/Worry are not needed on a friendly forum. Arguments sharpen minds. So there is never a disrespect shown if you contradict and criticize someones views. The trick is to grow with the criticism.So cheers.

Too many front-wheel-drive wagons? You guys forgot this one.

Don't we wish for an honest-to-goodness, rear-wheel drive D-segmenter?
Better weight distribution, better cornering, better braking and mild oversteer.

Why a D segmenter for that matter, I actually wish for a RWD B+ segmenter (that too in hatch form - even if its a few generations old)
