If the new Camry 2012 is still using the same 2.0cc engine and 4 speed gearbox from the previous gen, expect tremendous bashing from everyone. Well dont think it will impact sales since it's a T brand anyhow.

No VSC? So how can it have all you'd expect from a Passat? Besides the Passat can have adaptive suspension... press a button, it's comfy, press a button it's stiff and sporty. And the Passat has the next gen VSC. It has a radar guided cruise control, so it will drive as fast as the car in front of it. That car brakes, you brake, that car drives faster, you drive faster. The Passat parks itself, parallel parking and reverse too. It warns you when you leave the lane without indicating. It notices when you get tired and warns you. And many more. Toyota has all these features, but will they offer them?

I checked what is possible on the regular Passat, however those features may not be available here, so I admit it is a bit unfair. In other countries the Camry is a better car, too.

I somewhat have to agree with you. I still remember that my father in law owned a 2002 Toyota Camry 2.2G, he was bought this Camry at RM180K ++, in 2008, he wanted to change new car, and the price that the used car dealer quoted, you won't believe, even trade-in also damn low, they only able to give RM30K Max. After saw the car, they reduced the price to RM26K due to only some minor scratches and a small dented mark. So he sent his car to cosmetic repair and priced RM800.00, later traded-in with a Merz E200 for RM30K. So don't expect to get good price even it is a Toyota.

lucky my old iswara 96 buy at 7k now still worth 5k 

3 years owning + repair 2k max = 1 year i rugi 1.4k 

If I am richer I would drive an Audi, but, for now I chose Camry between teana and accord.

I know nothing about vsc, but I thought supercar has a racing mode which disable all these equivalent features in order for the driver to enjoy speed. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a kind of noob about cars.

Agree with you to certain extent, except the life insurance and medical cards part. Road accidents can be avoided, but things like cancer cannot. So no point mixing those into the picture.

Well, about the TC part again I've never really seen it in action. On cars with <200hp the chance of wheel spin happening is quite slim. I've driven a 2005 accord 2.4 and no matter how hard I gun the throttle from stand-still it wont lose traction. The only way to trigger it is to rev around 4000, then go from N to D but I suppose nobody drives that way?
Well, I've never experienced any dropping good, but I've seen a tire exploding on those trailers right infront of me on KESAS. Managed to avoid the big chunk of shredded tire. Was driving a myvi back then in 2006, No VSC. Be alert and dont panic. Probably its the reason why I've never seen anything kicked-in.

The other point, I've never experienced despite my area here being packed with kids. Probably because I drive at turtle speed when I reach the entrance of my housing estate

So whatever technology they put in the brochure of your car, they can only safe you to a certain extent. Most fatal accidents happens at speeds that even airbag wont be enough to safe you. I know NCAP and stuff are always featured in brochures, but then those are simulated under controlled environment. In real world, crashes probably happen at speeds way above those test speeds and the outcome would've been very different

So drive safe people

Not likely to skid if you are going in straight line. Next time, find a safe empty but wet road with sharp bend. Try taking the corner fast and see how it goes.

Bro, everytime u brake ABS is activated.. ABS not only help u not to skid but also shorten your braking distance... Haiz... I wonder why a lot of drivers in Malaysia only know how to drive but never understand those safety technology..

So hows your Toyota sales so far?
