Bcoz too many drivers zheng until damn pai kua, become ah beng car.

 

It is suppose to be a executive car.

i think many uncles prefer Toyota but Camry.

 

what i know about Mark X,

1) 6 unique spark plugs which you cannot purchase anywhere easily.

2) RWD, not just another FWD driving style.

3) 2.5L roadtax is not a joke.

4) based on uncles' preference, i think they prefer Camry looks.

5) based on the young ones, instead of Mark X, they rather get 2.0T cars or/and cars which may look more stylish and make them look more sporty/young.

 

just my pov.~

I think the craze has shifted to higher end models like IS250, A4, 320, C200 etc...

after this COE hike, the car price difference for your mentioned car models and the new Mark X is not significant liao.~

Mark X craze has yet died down...in fact more Mark Xs are easily seen on the road nowadays compared to 2 years ago...Of course the hype of it is not as obvious as the car has become more common...there are so many models out there...we can't be always talking about the same ride all the time...just my humble opinion....

2) RWD, not just another FWD driving style. <RWD is the fun part>

3) 2.5L roadtax is not a joke. <Agree not a joke but neither is it scary>

4) based on uncles' preference, i think they prefer Camry looks. <Personal preference la>

5) based on the young ones, instead of Mark X, they rather get 2.0T cars or/and cars which may look more stylish and make them look more sporty/young.

<Given the price of a new Mark X today, 130k, I would go for a conti anytime...not saying Mark x is a lesser car...but given for the ard the same price, I have alot of options>

In my opinion, Mark X is best looking in 20" chrome, lowered with simple body kit...tinted windows...that's it...Anything extra is like drawing snakes with legs....

 

Yes, I agree that alot more have over zhnged the ride which spoils the look...anyway just my personal opinion...hope I din offend anyone...so long you happy can alr....

Some put so many LED strips on foglight area, grille area, door area, trunk area, etc.

 

It is suppose to be a sleek executive car.
