There is nothing wrong with a older person wanting a slower comfortable stress-free serene drive and Toyota are very good at that, better than a Accord. May be your rich uncle and aunties still wear cowboy boots and drive like a kamikaze.

Quite true.
The elder generation in their forties now don't have the heart to go vroom vroom anymore
All prefer comfortable car

it'll come with 7 speed, thats what the SA told me. i went to shah alam sek15 showroom, they assemble the camry in sek16. he got an engineer friend who told him. the engineer oredi working on the car almost 1 yr

7 speed gearbox?
Sounds promising
Any other more details to leak?

he only said it'll be a new engine dual VVTi as altis oredi have. not much info oso as the thing is kept secret. starting new month SAs throughout the country will go for a course / introduction of the new camry. only then we'll know more i guess. he said the car will be out in june

If really come with 7 speed that gonna be wow wow wow

Accord is due for replacement next year I doubt any facelift anymore...

that 7 speed should be the CVT
most likely engine+transmission combo from altis 2.0

wow that would be great

either that or people like my dad who is so goddamn stubborn that he only believes Toyota is the most reliable in the world blablabla. he would not even step in KIA's showroom no matter how hard i persuade him last time to have a look at how koreans have improved in terms of design. But maybe he is right, perhaps the Jap has proven themselves to be reliable over the times. Just that in our country, they wanna con our money by giving us ***** specs.

thanks to our tax structure, so jap cars coming in will try to cut cost to avoid the price going skyrocket since its already on the highend. While Korean cars are taxed in a diff manner which yields cheaper selling prices with better bundled specs

Comfort? Citroen C5. Glides like a Rolls (uses the same but updated suspension as some Rolls Royce models).

Why are Korean cars taxed in a different manner? Or do you mean Naza?

Actually it is good that old Uncles like the Camry. They crash, they die, save money for pensions.

It's funny to think some people actually believe they couldn't die in a conti. I suppose they also believe Princess Diana is still alive and living in Egypt.

fact is , they already removed the import tax because Thailand already 2lan. T&H still selling at same price so their pocket will be fatter

Not can't die, it's just less likely. That's good enough for me. If you do ridiculously dangerous things, yes, you'll die, no matter what car. But a proper race car, like a F1 car, will let you survive crashes which no normal car, not even an S class or something like that will let you survive. Likewise, a proper conti spec car will let you survive crashes that a downgraded Japanese meant for developing nations model won't.

Actually the Camry shouldn't be that bad. But would a same size conti probably protect you better, especially when there is a side impact? Absolutely, yes.

Also, a conti spec Japanese car is fine too. The problem is what they sell here, apart from some JDM models like the Prius.

Tempting since the Passat 1.8T is now only RM 170K.
This Camry...hope they price it right.

rumors it is cheaper than the current one, most likely 10k +- , i think cause it is ckd for the next model

I dun get why ppl complain about others buying Camry... their money their choices. U care they die or no die.....

Its all personal reference, and its not like u give them 10-20 airbag in the car they will choose that car. And do u guys know how many airbag this new camry gonna have anyway.....

Time to die, you die...not matter how many airbags or even the car (Jap or Conti or watever) you drive!!

Juz drive safe (dun shorten time given to yu!) & pray that your time is not UP yet...
