Saabstance over style
The new Turbo Saab does not shout its power, it prefers to prove it. 		Lots of go, but lacks soul
Luxury, check. Performance, check. But it's hesitant love at first drive for Audi A6.
Fortified Kia
Cerato Forte is big on features and design but modest on price. 		Car for crunch times
The only thing Chevy's six-speed Epica will not stretch is your budget.
Not quite silky, but sensible
The made-in-Malaysia Sutera is cheap and surprisingly not too austere. 		Sette and match
The Passo Sette is diminutive for an MPV and not meant for the regular transport of seven grown-ups.
Honda Freed
It offers good low-end torque and like all Honda power plants, capable of superb fuel economy. 		One for the cost-conscious CEO
BMW's 740i offers flagship status, stupendous performance and a healthy dose of moderation.
