Jus spoke with Toyota ..they only special ordering the base corolla cross model....steups.
I guess it not viable in our market like the corolla sedan.

I would have said TTTL's problem with the Corolla Cross was pricing but then again Massy have the Creta priced at $250k base all the way up to something like $290k.

Pretty sure the taxes and duties on the 1.8L engine work against the Corolla Cross. A $290K Creta comes pretty loaded when compared to a pretty basic Corolla Cross that is more than $300K.

^^Well ANSA has overpriced their vehicles. Now it is time to bring in cheaper and unreliable brands to cater to certain market segments.

This has probably been asked before but where does Toyota Trinidad get their vehicles from? I'm always seeing someone posting about don't buy Toyota from Thailand because you will run into problems. Is there any difference?

Postby **Dave** » March 6th, 2024, 12:25 pm

Most of the Japanese branded cars and SUVs are from Thailand.

Subaru and Mazdas supposed to be made in Japan still. RAV4 last time I check was still made in Japan but the rest is made is thailand and other SE Asian countries. The Hondas CRV and Civic are made in Thailand. Nissan Xtrail hybrid is Japanese.

Pick ups are Thai

Not sure about Mtisu's.

Literally a handful.
Know the Subbies but didn't know the Mazda's were still Japan made.

Researched them and they're owned by geely now, geely also owns Volvo and 9 percent of Mercedes

, anyway, the x50 at least is on a shared platform with the Volvo x60, that includes the engine, it's a 3 cylinder that provides 110kw and 230nm of torque, size is in-between a seltos and a jolion, so I'm thinking qashqai sized, they seem to like it so far.

Looking at the dimensions of the X50 and using one of those size comparison tools it would seem the local vehicle its closest in size to is the MG ZS.

Got a chance to sit in the Protons in East Gate today. My first impression is that the interior is deceptively large for the vehicle size. In the X50 I set the seat to my driving position and sat behind and space wise the backseat passenger will be comfortable. I am 6' 4". Yesterday I checked out the CRVs and the back seat in that is small compared to the X50. My head actually touches the roof in the back seat of the CRV.

The interior finish is pretty good too. Looks classy with a lack of hard finishes. Probably will do a test drive on the X50 and check out that aspect.

It's five year warranty, five years free routine service and one year insurance included. For the month of March they are also offering 10k off.

The Haval H6 looks really compelling.

Its nice till the price. 300k for the H6 and 420k for the H6 GT.

Dunno if I wanna be the test audience for a new vehicle at those prices. At least the MGs were much cheaper at launch.

Postby **Dave** » March 18th, 2024, 4:12 pm

Havals are quite popular up the islands.

Dizzy28 · Postby **Dizzy28** » March 20th, 2024, 11:07 am

Thinking of changing my vehicle. Based on the prices out there the more I look in showrooms the more my nine year old vehicle looks more attractive to keep.

Visited ANSA last week and kinna knew it was coming but was still unprepared for the starting price of a CRV - $379k for the cloth seat 2x4 version. Next shipment from which one can book a CRV is July as well. Given how well they are moving unless you have a pardner with one you not getting a test drive.

Also checked out the Eclipse Cross. I kinna like it however small things here and there are a little offputting (lack of rear air con vents, small boot space with a high platform, fake leather).

I am on leave next week I feel I will check out GWM.

Still have an offer from a Southern Sales rep who reached out via LinkedIn to offer test drives of any Audi, and he's bringing them to my office as well.

Test drove the Haval H6 today. Drives nice enough and has basically all the bells and whistles one could possibly want in a SUV except for some type of four wheel drive system. Only the GT version has that.

Because of the battery it has a tyre fix kit but no spare. I'm put off but the lack of buttons as everything is controlled by the centre touch screen.

But all in all for 300k you get much more offerings than any similarly priced vehicle.
