Which D Segment car has the prettiest face?
The D segment car in Malaysia is the executive segment consisting of quite large cars. In the US its known as the Midsize car category because they are other large cars like Chevrolet Impala or Lincoln Continental. In the UK, its categorized as the executive car which includes BMW 5 series . Four door sedans are not as popular in the UK compared to Malaysia. They don't sell the Camry or the big US Accord in the UK. The British people have no love for big notchback sedans .
In Malaysia, the big sedans are still very popular although the sale of these types of sedan has been slow and decreasing. The bestsellers in this category are Honda Accord , Toyota Camry and Nissan Teana. Mazda 6 is gaining popularity whereas non Japanese cars like Peugeot, VW Passat , Ford Mondeo. Chevrolet Malibu have not managed to convince Malaysian buyers. The koreans with their Optima and Sonata too although quite successful have not managed to overtake the Japanese. Of all these cars which is the fairest?
This posting attempts to rank these D class segment cars according to Malaysian template. Beauty is so difficult to define and involves so many factors such as culture, functionality, speed, design among others. I will try to be fair and objective as far as possible.
Honda Accord 2017 |
1. The most beautiful D segment family sedan would have to be Honda Accord. I know a lot of you are not happy.Honda lately has managed to produce designs that are pleasing to the eyes not only among peoples of America but also in Asia. If there's a beauty contest among cars, the Accord would have easily won the prize. If the Accord is a woman she would have to be Beyonce. All the proportions are in the right place. The Accord could also be like Salma Hayek the beautiful Hollywood actress from Mexico.
2. The second place would have to go to Peugeot 508. Although the car is not very popular in Malaysia. The design of the car is so beautiful in the traditional luxury sense. The car can be mistaken for a Jaguar or a Bentley especially the rear end. The rear end of Peugeot looks very much like the butt of Kim Kardashian which people wont forget and probably drooling.
Mazda 6 2017 |
3. The third place for being the prettiest car is Mazda 6. Some people have said that the car looks like a middle aged guy on steroids. I however disagree. I thought the curvaceous body of the Mazda is really beautiful and so masculine and the car would be able to attract some really beautiful girls at Publika or Bukit Bintang.
4. The next most beautiful car to me is VW Passat. I believe a lot of young people would not agree with me. My wife too who is not quite a traditional kampung girl said that its really uninspiring and quite ugly. I disagree with them and I believe the beauty of the car lies with the understated design of the car. If its a girl this car is a beauty queen from a kampung. Nothing really fancy but overall a truly beautiful car inside out.
5. The fifth beauty spot is claimed by Nissan Teana. I find it difficult to describe the car but overall its quite pleasant to look at and occasionally can be quite pretty. Occasionally because the design flaw is so difficult to point out. If its a woman it could be the slightly large nose or the eyebrow is a bit "senget".
6. Yes bros finally our Camry hybrid managed to find its rightful place. The car is probably designed by a committee. The people in Toyota consisting of octogenarians who want to play safe and the result is the Camry that we have. If the Camry is a female being, its most likely a middle aged woman with a sagging br...t and flat back. Nobody will give a second look at the woman except probably a old man dumped by his young sexy" mata duitan" girlfriend.
I know you will not be happy with the ranking but this is my take on the issue.
