The high expectations for the Nissan Teana are proving to be worth the buzz.

Berna Acena, Nissan Motor Philippines, Inc. (NMPI) head for market and product planning, said there were already a lot of reservations made for the "superior sedan" just one day after its local unveiling at the 3rd Philippine International Motor Show.

She sees at least 50 to 60 units of the Nissan Teana sold per month, starting on Sept. 4 when it becomes available in Nissan dealerships. "And that is a conservative estimate," Ms. Acena added.

She credited the vehicle’s look and pricing for the upbeat debut.

"The design is more sleek. The look is very European. The interiors are premium, and the pricing level is very competitive. Its specifications are incomparable. It's very obvious why a lot of people are interested," she said.
