Please... It's not that Ah Peks only will buy D-segment, only Ah Peks can *afford* D-segment in this country thanks to you know what. If your thinking is so narrow then you will one day become an Ah Pek who drives a Camry because you think this is what Ah Peks should be driving and nothing more.
You obviously haven't driven an Accord or M6 have you? A tricked out D-segment is gorgeous to behold and costs a whole lot more to trick out, which the ordinary citizen cannot afford to do. Besides, D-segment is considered a normal sized family sedan in US and most parts of the developed world while C-segment is popular not because it is sporty but more so because it is an econobox and cheap to run.
Please don't generalize things you obviously know nothing about.

Please. Don't get emotional.
I did not say people who buys those cars are Ah Pek or mentally errmm 'old'. GENERALLY/MOST OF THEM are Ah Pek mainly (like u said) the price of the car itself.
The tax is too high. Without the tax, Camry is only RM80-RM90K. Then u'll see a lot of youngsters driving the car. Till then, this kind of cars will be tailor made by most manufacturers (especially Toyota) to suit 'matured' drivers.
I hope u got my point.
And no, I've never driven a Accord or Mazda6.
I've driven R-Class tho

Cheers.

I think this is a silly & over-generalised statement. Many ppl i know who drive these D segment cars are middle management corp faces. You may get some of your 'ah peks' driving but thats only because they have sufficient income to afford. But to generalise and say that most of them are such is an understatement.
Lets leave such statements out of these discussions and lets keep our threads as mature as we can.
Added on February 16, 2012, 12:28 pmI think you dont understand what he meant. Its nothing about who owns what. Its about the other guy's statement which is silly and surely unwanted on this thread. If he wasnt born yesterday then he should have have refrained from making such 'yesterday' statements right?
Lets get back to cars.
You too should refer to my comment above before judging my maturity level. But if it is still SILLY, then Im out of this place.
Cheers.
