    Hi is this considered luxury car in Ph because of its almost 2m price tag for a 5 seaters? Because you can get mercedes A class for only 2.4m pesos due to taxes here but if you buy in usa its around 1.6m total in pesos. Top of line Camry in usa is only around 1m in pesos thats why they call it an appliance

    Toyotas luxury line up

    Van - Alphard
    SUV - Landcruiser
    Sportscar - supra/86
    Sedan - Camry?

    Anyways, life in ph is much harder and buying a 2m pesos 5 seater car seems really stupid because there are 2m vans like super grandia and suvs available that can seat more people

    If you find people stupud buying this at 2m cause you can get a people hauler or suv at the same price, then this segment is not for you.

    Camry is marketed as an executive car. Like, people that has 2 or 3 cars already in the garage.

    You are clearly not the target audience of Camry.

    That's why the PPV segement is thriving here because of guys like you.

    You cannot call people stupid if they can buy midsize cars worth 2M. These people can afford a bit of luxury than having to sit in a van or an SUV (PPV) which rides like a pickup truck. The same thing applies for people who buy Euro cars locally that's worth more 2x or 3x than the price of a Camry but still seats only 5.

    Is executive car same as luxury car? Because I think filipinos who are doing very well in life are the only ones who can afford this expensive car. A little more and you can get a car with mercedes badge!

    Its fuel consumption is terrible as well at 5km/liter
