With cars these prices, the local trend for those who cant afford the germans will be B&B sedans + mostly crossover/SUVs. 

If it’s a sedan, it will be the e class and 5 series

Lol some people still need your basic car. But yeah, definitely the premium marques will still sell in this high COE environment.

I've been seeing more Citroen SUVs with new registrations in malls and roads. Think those with families are gravitating towards such cars as a bridge between the jap/korean and germans.

My estate had minimal new cars since 2022, then recently noticed 2 new citroens.

Will we be getting the Aussie Version from PI, which is essentially still built in Japan? I think Borneo is likely to bring this in too.

"Cars for Australian customers will be built in Japan with a local launch slated for the second half of next year.

Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing & Franchise Operations Sean Hanley said the global adoption of hybrid-electric technology for Camry reflected overwhelming consumer demand, including in Australia."

"... Interior adopts a modern, open concept with refined materials that endow each of the model’s three grades with their own personality and style.

Convenience is a hallmark, including a standard smart key with push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and wireless Apple CarPlay®1 and Android Auto™2 compatibility.

Additional connected services include an emergency SOS button3, 24/7 automatic collision notification4 and stolen-vehicle tracking5."

Citroens are vfm nowadays.

In fact I was at Cars@Expo and they said they sold out their yearly allocation of C4s hence they're not selling it aggressively vs Pug 2008.

C5AC might look small but they're comparable to the size of a Tucson or etc and has been cheaper than a Corolla Altis by 10+k since the 1.2L was launched.

Having experienced the C4 Cactus (just sold) for a year (full story for a day) with a mere alternator change for 1.2k at C&C (outside is ard 700-800), they're looking ok to me.

The dreaded ETG is crap (Seat Toledo's DSG is rubbish too) but the new AISIN 6-spd is good, can't complain about Toyota products right?

Edit: after testing the Toledo (Diesel) I miss the relatively cush ride of the Cactus

Agreed. Car's value proposition is very good but unfortunately C&C France service leaves much much to be desired.

Useless fools. Tried to get me to get my starter changed even though car starts easily.

And incompetent too. I had to return to them 3 times to get the alternator installed properly (in the meantime "battery charge fault" chimes like the alarm clock)

And I thought AD is good.

If I were to buy another I would buy it used and go indie (I bought it from DFM when it was 7 years old in 2022) 

You've owned a Citroen before?

Agreed,C&C Service sucks,for Kia also.

IMHO.
Usually full hybrid are those that can run on electric power alone ( short distance ).
The battery usually is of higher voltage.

What you meant are PHEV.

Battery capacity increase from 2kwh to 8kwh.

Voltage stays the same

IMHO.
My understanding is 
PHEV -  Can run on electric power for limited distance.  Can charge battery by plug-in or engine. 
Fully Hybrid -  Can run on electric power for short distance.   Battery charge by engine only.   Typical battery voltage is > 100V. 
Mild Hybrid -  Cannot run on electric power.   Typical battery voltage is 48V.

Camry is Hybrid only,no Plug In Hybrid.

[ER-3682]

Those 48 V Mild Hybrid..is just a Power Boost.

Somemore Future Repair will be a Nightmare,esp the one inside the Gearbox like Mercedes Benz.

Happened to pop by Borneo Motors and they said this Camry is only gonna hit our shores in 2025 at the earliest, are all new launches so slow to be introduced here?
