volvo were doing well in the 80s so did alfa in 60s but dunno why nowadays only bmw and merc doing well

maybe because of cinapek mentality

jaguar last few generations are somewhat dissapointing

but recently with their new designer or something their new lines looks great especially the XF

, by the way lexus strongest selling point is their customer service , i read that they really emphasis on the quality of treatment towards customer

it does has soul

it can accelerate by itself



jokes aside

i read from motoring magazine that they put some expensive log in their flagship LS and they even tried implement the sound of expensive wooden for mansions oopening/closing sound on the car door to make it feel more expensive or something

then u dont know what is luxury car

just because a luxury car is common doesnt make the car not luxury lol

luxury has nothing to do with rarity

girls are materialistic

does a person who owns a SLR more common than a person who owns a db8 ?

i always thought luxury car is a segment for hmp luxury car? guess i was wrong luxury car is a segment for "rare" car one of a kind so i guess a 50 years old limited edition honda is more luxurious than a modern day bmw/merc/jag/audi/lexus

^

dont like A5?

i like A5 body (maybe because of coupe)

but i like a4 headlight design more

but still the a5 headlight not as bad as audi tt and a6 headlight most prolly the most boring design for audi LED lol

of course la

thats why its in compact luxury segment similar size to 3 series/is/c class or Compact car segment (i think segment C? not sure) forte,civic,lancer etc

but in term of compact luxury segment a4 is bigger than their competitor 3 series and c class

camry if i am not mistaken is in mid size segment which is similar size of a6,5 series,GS,XF,E class which are in mid size luxury segment ?

correct me if i am wrong

scirocco is sexy in real life but somehow in picture doesnt look as good

most people do

i used to be crazy about coupes ( maybe because i never had one )

but somehow nowadays jag XF,w212 e class and 5 series f10 appeals alot to me

i guess when i was 18-22

kinda look cooler,younger,sportier

but i made up my mind having a 4 door cars as primary car is more practical lol

maybe next time got extra money get a 2 door cars as a 2nd car for weekend use

volvo seems trying hard to push their latest facelift s80 (equivalent of 5 series/e class/xf/gs/e class)

their ceo so ambitious to compete against 5 series and e class and said this is the car for CEOs, ceos should be driving this

i think its ok but its just like the latest a6 , the current model and previous model doesnt look much different so doesnt really stand up and the prestige in malaysia especially not really enough

anyway priced at very good deal to brand new 290k (e200k 368k, f10 523 383k,a6 330k)

cheaper and better 0-100 performance but does that justify the lack of prestige that is what the main concern of buyers at this level?

yup i hope the new s60 can revive back volvo like in the 80s they were the most preferred choice of luxury car back then in malaysia...

from the design should appear more to younger people

i am not sure their market positioning for s60 compared to the merc/bimmer but if we look at current v50 and s40 around 170k+- so s60 could be around 200k+-?

i am not talking about prestige here

mid SIZE <--

they have different category for luxury cars and normal cars

like subcompact category ,compact category , mid size category

then they have like luxury compact category , luxury mid size category

camry is definitely in mid size ... they are as big as e class if not bigger but of course they are not in the same class ( hence there is luxury category )

then it would limit only to enthusiasts .... or those with alot money

actually i really like XF but the new price is so expensive... and as for 2nd hand or recond it must cost bomb for maintenance and services

but the depreciation is killing to in 2009 a 2008 XF was like 430k now early 300k u can get a 2008 XF already

as for audi i think audi a6 and a8 will remain rare

as for a4 can see alot of them already and even the grey importer has started to import them ..thats a good sign that they are in demand even in 2nd hand market ... i bet alot of people are waiting for cheaper a4 to feel the nice original LED light
