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.

its an uncle car since before

Ask rafizi why we are now in this weird situation

Or rather ask tun m who created such a mess now

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.

I drove accord when i was 26 years old.

How about 2020 honda accord?

accord / camry become like civic
civic become like city
city become like axia
axia become like ex5

What entry level BMW/Mercedes cheaper than Accord/Camry?

200k+ car = high class

never was

A200

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

high class or not
it served it's purpose superbly well

No. The standard has increase. These models are for upper middle class only.

Doesn’t portray boss image driving one

Top up a bit dapat C keras

vw vs toyota still vw win meh, both pleb cars for the masses

actually in china , got lots of VW because i heard got joint venture with the CCP govt... sort of like potong, but it's using their original name instead of some local china company rebrand.

damn, so i look up to those young punk driving a200 mana tau actually cheaper than camry, puik...

Mechanically top tier

Apart from that, it's just another taxi vehicle

If using LRT or Axia, ask questions like that, than Camry Accord is a high keras car,

SUV >>> all

D-seg sedans alrdy were handed their obituary since ages ago.

SUVs give comparable space, comfort n goodies while being hella lot cheaper.

Who the hell cares abt the slightly better handling.

that 2014 model looks good. just go shopee get some parts like lower arm set bush (RM200) and let workshop change. The car will drive like brand new.

anything more expensive than my 2nd hand hyundai getz is high class.

But salary didn't increase.

How is it possible for standard increase when cost increase while salary maintain?

If you follow the 1 year salary = Car rule, you are literally T5 individual in Malaysia when you are driving a 240k car on the road.

lol how many of those beepers and mercs are new cars not recon job?

Looks so unker driving these

Camry is my dream car

Yes. A million times better than China made cars

By Germans was referring to Mercs and BMWs.
VW is a pleb car.

I'd rather be chauffered in a Camry than own self drive a 3 series or C class

i admit lesser uncle.. new camry also not so uncle d

Are people getting richer or are they just willing to spend more on Car than the last generation?

topkek dont lie la unker

say sendiri age 30

ur writing style, copy paste style like 60

topkek PJng

wanna lie xiaomeimei lettew

Still can get ladies, still got value

Hardly see a new camry/accord on the road nowadays

as long muka tak mintak penumbuk drive local car also awek willingly gave

forever alone no need drive D segment

now many cheap SUV drivers trying hard to be high kelas

A class, 1 series, 2 series.

the car size is smaller than todays city.
Accord has grown insize over the years.

Old price list before proton
