Actually I have been wondering why this thread has so many out of topic discussion not related to Camry?

Cause this is what we called hijacking

Camry no discount for raya dugong got only

Why want to hijack Camry's thread?
Lol, the car is still new I guess so response is quite good till no discount given.
Seen quite a few on the road already.

I can tell around Ipoh, I see alot unker driving Camry 2012 liao.

those that made bad comments abt new camry, abt their low specs and old tech, has nothing to profit from drop of sales(maybe get some pride ).

but i think, by means of internet, unbound knowledge, we as consumers shud know more abt our products, whats happening ard the globe, are we being short-handed locally, in spirit of consumerism.

if we simply accept watever those bully sell to us, then they will continue to take advantage. In this very thread, camry is the example. Yes, it is realiable, yes, previous models has better RV than others, yes, parts are easily found, yes, nvh is good. But izzit really worth the price? Are they charging higher for bigger profit margin?

take for example, cbu lancer 2.0gt at 125k, and civic 2.0s with 60% local parts 127k. Suzuki kizashi cbu and camry umw, and many more. Is it a sitting duck easy prey hunting ground for these big bullies? Whereas the others are offering perks and specs to attract us? Are we simply killing ourselves by ignoring and become slaves?

just my 2c

simple point is no one is forcing anyone to buy anything. its consumer choice.
you can campaign/lobby for better safety, but i feel we are not strong enough or have the right infra to do it in meleisial.

hence, the only realistic way to have better safety is via natural market force
e.g demand. cars wif better safety get better sales if consumers choose that path

however, that is also not the case. because a car is many things to many different people.
it does not only perform one function.

Well said. This is what i feel of certain car manufacturer in Malaysia when they selling the car on certain prices.

Some of this car's brand really don't care as they know they can do this since their brand is very popular among Malaysian. But to me, when i doing research when searching for new b-segment car, after comparing all the specification and prices, i would stay away from buying from this kind of car manufacturer.

As long as the market perception doesn't change, this kind of car manufacturer will continue take our malaysia consumer for a ride, unless the change of market perception force them to think over their sale practices.

Who said no discount? I was offered a RM 18K discount by the TTDI branch.

my neighbour got rm15k off 2.0G, but only that dark grey colour

Sorry la bro. U should have asked me earlier. I was asking around for someone who wanted to take up the offer.

same here i was asking for my fren.

Modern car engines are now geared towards fuel efficiency rather than performance. So really aside from car features, NA engine from brand A is unlikely to differ too much from brand B or brand C. Whatever difference is going to lie in the way difference manufacturers tune their engines and their cars.

Those days of a high revving VTEC engine in a non performance based saloon? Long gone~~~

change of direction to what a company shud do best, make money ?? appease the common crowd rather that niche market

2.4v SA in ipoh told me finish book before march. 2.0G got 15k discount only. you sure is 2.4v?

Just take the bus then.

my friend's 2011 camry has the knocking engine noise.is it normal n because of the ron 95 fuel?if so,why only japanese cars has that noise?my 01 odyysey and 06 city also has that noise.

Hi any of u have sound like bocor exhaust when accelerate hard? My Camry now almost 30k mileage. It worst when going uphill when I accelerate.

If you feel the car is not in the usual running condition, send to service center and let the mechanic have a look.
If your car is still under warranty, inspection should be free.

Added on August 11, 2012, 10:49 pmsigh.... buses also not very safe, so many accidents involving buses... those bus companies also don't care about rakyat Malaysia punya life.... how can?

Guess we should boycott bus companies too?

By the way, oh dear, those buses running on our highway got VSC, EBD, traction control, airbag or not???

Sorry, just a joke..... don't bash me......
