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

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 

k no deal. contradicting statements though. people buy volvos for a reason.

so what car your drive? 

Anyway, I don't intend to continue the issue as these are all 'chicken and egg' types of topics, everyone has his/her priority, those who think Toyota is garbage, just shy away from this brand, there are so many non-garbage brands out there to choose.

Cheers!

Toyota is clearly losing it ? Such uncompetitive specs..

So I get more car for less money. And that is a bad thing? How?

So you compare the K5 to a Ferrari. I think I need a K5. Like Ferrari...

True, Toyota get better second hand value. As I drive cars until they fall apart I care about... not at all. I'd rather have a good car in the first place, or get a second hand car with poor resale value. Let someone else suffer through the depreciation.

Once upon a time, a cook discovered a great recipe and attracted lots of patrons near and far. Then, other cooks discovered the recipe and perfected it. The first cook says to everyone that he's the best, he's the original and some of the patrons agree with that and refused to change .... the other cooks? Well, instead of trying to mimic the first cook, they went on to discover new recepies to delight their patrons.

Now, all these great cooks charge a premium for their dishes .... not everyone can afford to eat regularly at their place ... but that has not prevented patrons from drawing their own conclusions and compare between them. Do they compare against the cheaper restaurants? Of course not ... it wouldn't be fair now, would it?

And soon, uncles and aunties begin to realise other restaurants are drawing a huge crowd too and begin to wonder if the other place offers something better. Of course their minds just tells them the original is the best ... but bit by bit, the crowd moves and pretty soon, where once the original's total patrons far outnumber the other competitors, now it's different.

So, are you uncle enough to eat at the original? The next question is, are you open-minded enough to sample others? What's the step beyond "uncle"? 

Yes up to May only. Nothing after that.
