last gen camry is CBU from thai, current camry is ckd in shah alam. but pricing is even higher and spec maintain or even lower. all i can say is last camry is the real camry and it still looks new

true, but unfortunately the stats still shows that for every 1 lost customers, they gain 3-4 new customers....
toyota is well aware of that and what could be their new marketing agenda... no one knows....

we are bashing them to kingdom come but the vios kosong is still flying out the showrooms at the same rate (+/-) as it is since it was launch...

i am sure we know, for every person that did research, there will be 5-10 "blind" souls out there...


influential ones?

maybe in overseas, but surely not in malaysia...
as it stands, the numbers that malaysian market gives toyota yearly is like spare change.... HAHA

sigh
sad but true bro...

paultan test review : danny tan

more execs (non business owners) buying the car for the executive feel.

oh well, nowadays business owner use SUV liao. no more sedan lvl.

no wonder exec now took over. Uncle car become non uncle liao?

business owner still prefer to buy sub 150k car to get the capital allowance of 100k. if over, they only get 50k.

Thread seems to be dead for some time. Any updates from Kepala Pening bout his Camry? Still waiting for his actual FC in 100% city.

Actually if you noticed, Toyota owners in Malaysia don't talk much about their cars online. Even the nation's most popular non-national segment car, Toyota Vios, the buzz and talk about the car is seriously lacking

Unker ma ~ seldom know how to use computer

i guess i know why the xv50 have cheap ass specs.i think its because the toyota assemblers n the team lack experties to assemble the parts.so they decided to not have the features.similar case with recently launched honda jazz hybrid ckd.very poor specs.itu tada ini tada

clearing old stock parts?

Wah...this one sure kana flamed big time.

Now clocked at 10K++ km.



BTW, last Saturday I saw a new shiny K5 (AJA xxxx) stopped in the middle of the road (east-west highway), after a sharp corner, on top of the mountain with hazard light switched on. Breakdown maybe?

Luckily, even though my XV50 was not equipped with whatever special gadget that, that K5 have, it was able to dodged that K5.

But that's not something to be proud of. In the first place, there's no reason for the 2.5V Camry to even cost so much, the more offending issue is that they remove so many features compared to the overseas model. Depends on how you want to inteprete why they do this I guess, but from my point of view - I find Toyota/UMW action rather offensive.

Its pointless explaining to him. Despite all our efforts, its obvious that he does not see the importance of the VSC system. He chooses to use a breakdown of a K5 (which could be a mechanical failure or even something as common as running out of fuel) as an excuse to show that his Camry could 'avoid' despite not having VSC. Its clear that he has not bothered to read up on VSC and how the system works. Thus talking to him is pointless as ure basically dealing with a person who isnt bothered about changing his mindset. Pity.

But i wanna share this experience of mine which just happened about 2.5hrs ago. I was driving from KL to Ipoh at about 150kmph and suddenly my rear tyre blew out. This wasnt a gradual loss of air. It was a total immediate blowout. My tire was torn 90% along the rim. I was in the midst of overtaking a trailer just before Gopeng (2 lanes) when it happened. I thought i was about to slam into the guardrail but luckily in a split second the Stability Control engaged and i was able to manoeuvre to safety. There was really no space for me to do a counter steer due to the close proximity of the trailer so im really lucky the stability control system engaged in time. This is my first experience with the system and i must say it worked perfectly.

mechanical failure, rear tyres blewout, K5 doesn't sound so good (in fact it isn't in the first place) afterall.....

btw, just saw a white K5 stalling along lok yew road with hazard lights on, the kimchi fans still feel so good about their cars ??!!!!

Is a tyre blowout a mechanical failure? So Merc, BMW and Audi dont have tyre blowouts? Do explain.

It must have been a close shave. Thank God you are saved, and seriously, thank God you have VSC.
