The pricing is all wrong.it is an old engine.possibly an old platform as well but perhaps enhanced. And the competitors are selling all round better values at 10k less. Yes toyota the brand is valuable but it WILL NOT do it this time

Toyota do their homework liao de. Their main target are ppl who use car as utility and most likely use nokia 1200 phones.

I check the spec liao, vs the Teana its no big diff, only diff is about 8K in price, i am sure Toyota will diskaun a bit on the car for existing owner and also give good value for trade in, still more attractive considering its all-new.

I refer to 2.0E btw.

For me, it's a tool for getting things done and as far as passion is concerned - pretty much nonexistent for this car.

To the buyers, its the passion of being practical laugh.gif

wah wah. now iphone vs samsung war pulak.

japan vs korea?

come back to topic pls. Just try to justify this pls:
Compare outgoing camry and new camry
1) New Camry highest spec rm10k more exp
2) New Camry removed the most important feature that even Altis 1.8/2.0 has, VSC!

Now, please tell me how to justify buying this crap?  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
*
perhaps, perhaps toyota took the usage stats of the older camrys
and found that VSC activation was very low in the cars that had it
so decided to remove it...

similarly with the airbags...

maybe they look at it purely from a business point of view, if the feature is hardly activated, might as well ship without it. its still the buyers decision after all. but most camry buyer only tekan accel and brake only, nvr use other feature perhaps.

U see those mudah ad

e.g. altis only 99K

then u klik, it says 99K but downpayment 7K.

so maybe this kes is d/p 25K lor.

Toyota SA is very desperate in pushing the sales of 2.5V Camry.....looks fishy, any comment?

Will UMW launch another version in the nearest time to include more airbags and VSC due to many complaints from consumers??
*

so past few mth very less komisen now want to gain back...

This discussion sure can go on and on. But the fact is this, safety standards have risen everywhere else in the world, so why would you want to settle for anything less if you don't have to or have the financial means not too. If the government is willing to step in and demand that all future vehicles, whether big or small at least provide those safety features, wouldn't it be much better for everyone overall? We talk about now, what past is the past, what's important is the future, and the important thing is to have safety standards continually improve instead of going backwards.

So in this case, how can anyone even justify what Toyota did is good for the industry and motorist in general? Removing 2 important safety features that shouldn't have been removed in the first place and for what? Good car or not, there's no denying they've gone backwards in terms of safety.

Btw, there's so many people out there who buy Toyota cars without even test driving or seeing the car first, the new Camry isn't an exception. Like it or not, the brand is rock solid and they've been around long enough that people trust them enough to buy them but eventually, if they continue doing this, the gen Y that moves up to replace the gen X will not hesitate to ignore their offerings.

safety feature in car, is improve a lot and even p1/p2 have put in safety feature.
how much or how little, is driven by market requirement.

toyota is a business first, and a carmaker second. reduction of feature happens, simply because they can do it and its commercially viable. they probably have data on features and usage, as well as safety stats on accidents involving their vehicles.

there is still a big chunk of buyers who do not want to pay for features, and the common requirement is the "stature" of the car, the comfort while seated, and the practicality and resale. this group is what toyota, as a business, cater for.

This only applies to Asian countries mind you. Toyota has a totally different approach to customers in US, Europe and Australia. It all boils down to what the paying customer accepts. As long as Malaysians keep accepting low safety standards for higher pricing, then car makers like Toyota will continue to feed us with vehicles which come with the lack of such important features.

yes, i refer to our market.

amerikan spec wat sh1t also got.

No way the upcoming Mazda 6 2.0L will be 180K la especially now since we have more competitors in the D segment as compared to before. I would expect the new Mazda 6 2.0L to be around 160K (OTR) using the Camry 2.0G as a benchmark.

The Camry won't come close to the upcoming Mazda 6 in terms of design, specs, performance and handling.
*
bermaz knows the 6 wont appeal to the masses. so its going to target those with taste for the design. and squeeze the ringgits out of these ppl. its not hard to be more attractive than camry on paper, so features will be there to entice u, and so its perfectly logical to price it above the camry, and earn more. even that hanokuku dude said he wont mind pay 180+K for the 6.

Hmmm, I dunno. It would be foolish to go after a niche market for them.

From a personal point of view, I would not pay an amount that is higher than their continental competitors - it's just like I would not pay 180k for the Camry because the brand and the car is not worth the asking price. So even if the M6 can throw in all the bells and whistles, I'd still find it hard to justify paying so much money.... and for a Japanese car!!!

I believe the smarter thing for them to do is throw in almost all the bells and whistles or at least have 3/4 of all the gadgets found on the K5, keep 6 airbags and price it around 160k to 165k and they've got a solid Camry killer.
*
i think they not enuf AP to bring that many in. last time wat they did was launc the car a few k more expense
that time camry 139 they sold 142, but also had very little kit as well. at best they will follow the same way, price it slightly over, and about the same kit. if it looks that good, i am sure ppl wont mind to pay XXXk more for a cbu car.
