That's the info I get from talking to Toyota people, not just here but in the USA.
The Camry model in Singapore is slightly different from the one in the USA though.
I'm mistaken about the Camry on the IS250 platform. It should be the ES series platform, which I understand is not sold by Borneo in Singapore for the simple reason that it looks just like the Camry.

Common knowledge in the US that Lexus and Toyota share platforms. But that's the same for many other auto manufacturers. Problem with Lexus ES and Toyota Camry is that the two cars look almost identical.
yes u are right.... this is what toyota is doing all along...
the camry is based on the es
harrier on the rx
mark x on the gs
but definately the camry is not based on the is250....

How about the Ford Mondeo???
-
A car that can move. And not a toy car. A man-size one please.

Think accord would be best. Good compromise between engine performance and space. Ford Mondeo is voted the best car of the year 07. So that may be a good choice. Though i don't really like the Ford's styling.
But whatever it is. Buy within these 2 months. Before the stupid LTA go reduce COE quota then jia lat liao. No amount of road tax or ARF reduction is going to compensate the rise on COE prices. The govt damn sly de - Give u 2 sweets, but tommorow become Ah long ask for a whole box of chocolates. -

Just asking only, did any one saw Jamie Teo white Toyota Mark X, SJA****Y

100k.
Got some nice choices.. if i were u, id take a 2nd hand newer BMW, not 520i but a 320i. Smaller but worth the $$. you can use the remainder to extend the warrenty and repair watever needs to be repaired. Performance Motors quite okay for servicing.
But if you really really want a thrill, haha, i would try to up my budget by about 20k, and go and buy a 2nd hand, super old porsche 993 convertible..^^

Why you self appointed thread police is it?TS himself said, "Not restricting myself to anything. Just that these 2 have caught my eyes. I prefer executive cars though i welcome any suggestion".

TS says he is not restricting himself to anything AFTER i asked him... prior to that and when noopie replied to this thread... he din mention about this... -

So he did allude to being open to other makes and models…
Having said that, of course I was just kidding about the Ariel. It would be cool as hell to see one of those on our roads though.

but from his initial post u can tell he is looking for a sedan... other makes and models yes... but looking at sedan... not some lifestyle cars such as minicooper... and precisely bcos of jokers like u who doesnt stick to topics that most threads in this forum lead to nowhere with people recieving unconstructive replies... -

I've been trying to be civil till now, but you need to watch how you speak to people. This is an open forum, you want to have a serious discussion look elsewhere.Who the hell do you think you are to go around calling people cocksters and jokers?
You don't like the way things are going, go start your own forum and you can speak anyway you want to anyone you want. You can even ban people if they stray more than you decide is allowed.
I posted a thread a year or so ago looking for a sedan too. Based on what you consider "uncontructive suggestions" I actually ended up buying a hatchback Fit. You may consider a Mini a "lifestyle" car, but someone else may think different and consider it an alternative to a sedan. Who are you to decide what's an acceptable suggestion and what's not?
