P1.3 million pesos may sound like a lot of money, but it certainly won't buy as many dollars as it used to. As a consequence, it won't buy you as much car as it used to either. Where you could once shoot for a 3-pointed star, nowadays, P1.3 million will buy you a filled-to-the-brim, full-spec Japanese midsize sedan: Camry, Cefiro, Accord or Galant. For those who still remember the days of P500,000 Galants and P750,000 Cefiros, they can't seem to accept that any of these cars should cost a million bucks, let alone P1.3 million.
