Actually its not just looks. The premio is a larger car. Its more of a camry rival while tha allion is more of a civic rival. The allion is the new carina and the premio the new corona. The premio is actually not bad, with its reverse camera, etc.3.85m is the usual price for the premio, but once you consider it, theres a lot of cars you can buy for that price. The primera is virtually the same as the premio but way cheaper. Then theres a recon tuscon, sportage. Vw passat, nissan cefiro. Then theres the 98 Merc e class which is quite good. So i guess for 3.85 its not worth it, cos the only extra cool option is the reverse camera, and you can fit that on any car for max 2 lakhs.
