I remember 10-15 years ago, if you have a Camry/Accord, you are already at a seemingly senior position, mostly for people who have achieved above average success in the corporate world and mostly are in their mid 40's.
These days, it seems that having a Camry/Accord doesn't seem prestigious anymore, despite the price of these cars are now even more expensive than an entry BMW/Mercedes. Camry is now RM240k which is quite crazy to think that it used to be the "Top up a bit to get entry BMW/Merc" but now being more expensive than a RM220k BMW 2 series.
Even though the cars are now even more expensive than before, a lot of youngster in their 30's be driving entry BMW/Merc or Tesla. They don't even bat an eye on Toyota/Honda anymore. Instead Toyota/Honda seems to be cars for fresh grads up to late 20's.
Man, Malaysians are indeed becoming wealthier. Driving next level cars.

Quick answer is depends.
High class to other Toyota drivers? Yes. High class across the board? No.
You'll need to touch the Germans for that level of status.

Nope. I already ferried in Camry since I was still a sperm cell. Nowadays I can't even stand if it is not a Rolls Royce Phantom

Mechanically top tier
Apart from that, it's just another taxi vehicle
