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

That's like asking, why even consider a Coralla when a Vios or Wigo do the same thing and bring you from Point A to Point B.

You are not the target market so no point in arguing against poeple who want to buy it, right? I am also not the target market for the Camry, but I can get why people would pick that over any peso equivalent vehicle.

And why bother with FC if you have money to buy a 5 seater at 2million? Heck, why bother asking about FC, if you have money to burn for 2+2 seater vehicles over 3m php as well, right? As long as it is within your means, they aren't stupid for wanting to buy what they want.

EDIT : To add to a reply in your post, you are worrying about FC but say you can Buy a Merc for a little more... Have you forgotten about maintenance as part of cost of ownership?

EDIT 2: People are answering you what the vehicle is, yet you keep asking whether it is a luxury vehicle or not, again... You won't get your answer if you refuse to see the answer in front of you.

The term executive car is used among us Pinoys and other developing Asian nations for midsize cars in the developed nations. The market for such cars is more on the higher end of the income bracket - folks who own a number of cars, a big garage, and cares not much about fuel expense.

There are a few brands tagged as luxury - BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus, Infiniti, etc. Toyota's brand in the luxury car arena is Lexus. A luxury car with a comfortable interior space as a Camry will hit you a bill of around 5M to 6M already. The rest of the midsize Asian cars (Accord, Mazda6, Legacy, Sonata, Optima, Altima) are not yet in the luxury category.
