I think the original quote was Mazda6/Camry class. Whilst I agree the Camry buyer is a little more pedestrian, that class (as defined by VFACTS) includes Mazda 6, Subaru Liberty, Honda Accord Euro, which exhibit the qualities you are speaking about. I think that the entry of Mondeo could well lift interest in this entire class of mid sized vehicles
