I know someone who also left a c class in sterling due to issues and they offered him a full buy back

Also know a few people who had to return new cars as well and they got buy backs.

Subaru forester and a qashqai.

Hello all,

We recently had the pleasure of checking out the Veloster Turbo and must say it's an impressive little hatch.
You can see the video and read the review here: http://www.ttautoguide.com/



Let us know what you think!

Nice quality video.

Audi called and said they wanted their grill and speedo/tach back. Typical hyundai/kia - copying designs from the big Euro manufacturers.

And absolutely nothing is wrong with that

[neexis]

someone should tell the local "experts" that the head designers at Hyundai/Kia were designers at the VW-Audi group, how does one copy oneself?

Didn't that head designer leave VAG some 10 years ago? How is that relevant to copying of current design?

With all these big guys working at these companies, wouldn't it make sense to create something completely new and let the brands have their own identity? Especially since they actually good at designing.
The new Sportage looks like it took elements from Porsche and BMW to create something more hideous than the previous model.

That's just my opinion..... feel free to resume the beat-up.

You right on the sportage. Looks like a down syndromed Porche Macan.

The new Tucson however. That's how you copy in a good way!

Lol @ trisomy 21 Macan.

I agree, Kia and Hyundai still have some elements of copying but generally I think most manufacturers have some element of imitating each other to varying extents. Kia and Hyundai more than others.

Tucson is a handsome thing outside indeed.

On a different note to this wonderful Korean car conversation... Saw the new Ford Everest on the road this morning. I must say that it is a beautiful vehicle and quite large. Completely revamped styling when compared to the old Everest which was essentially a ranger with a tray canopy.

Just a fleeting look but wow, the Everest is gorgeous and looks much better that some of those other SUVs out there. Not quite as nice as a Sportage though

New car sales only drop a little bit, by 1% vs last year, but luxury car sales down by close to 20%.

Also Toyota being beaten by Nissan with more sales this year.

WHY is Lifestyle Motors advertising the 2015 model Cruze as 2016?

Or are they merely showing the year of this ad?

Either way, I think it's misleading. Unless a LM agent can clarify?

[Dizzy28]

^ Free Test Drives ??
Do they normally charge for it?

Do you mean calendar year or manufacturer year?

Manufacturer year of car is 2015.

Calendar year of this ad 2016.

Is this what you are asking?

[DJ Q]

So when a car is manufactured in late 2015 to go for sale in 2016, what year is the car?

[ACT DA FOOL]

The unfortunate thing in TNT is that it takes a while to get newer models. It took Lifestyle Motors till late Q3 / early Q4 of 2015 to get that "2015" Cruze.

We are halfway into 2016 and that model is still being sold. Yet they don't seem to mind it being classed and sold as 2016..

Unless this is common practice in TNT and someone could enlighten me?

Manufacturer year doesn't line up with calendar year. Manufacturer year 2015 can mean for example June 2015 to May 2016. I don't know if Chevy does it exactly like that but you get the picture. This does not only apply to Trinidad either.

If a vehicle is sold to you today, June 8th, 2016, when do you think it was manufactured?

[nickrick]

Its supposed to be the Chevy Cruze Limited 2016..... u can google it..... it has more or less the same exterior as the 2015 cruze but more features in it...... an agent i spoke to says that they dont expect the 2016 cruze till ending of the year

Special ordering normally takes 6 months so I figure around that period of time.

When I bought the Jetta picked it up on 2/2/13 I think and the manufacture date on the engine was June 2012 so car assembly was shortly after and it sat in bond for a month when it landed. That jetta was classified as the 2013 model and had small changes vs the 2012 model.

[Pointman-IA]

The Cruze is being assembled in South Korea.

[Dave]

All those small Chevy's are the Daewoo brand that they bought

This might vary. Special ordered in Oct 2012 expecting delivery in April 2013. Car actually got here mid Jan 2013.

I think there are 3 2016 Chevy Cruze models now vs just 1 global model of before. See my take on this below:

North American model:


World model:


China only:

[drchaos]

So basically what chevy is saying is .... F#(& the rest of the world we only care about the north american and chinese markets.

[DJ Q]

It's the same thing with other cars.
The Corolla in the US is not the same shape/body as the one we have here, for example.

[Dave]

Seems like every other model we share with our US counterparts.

[Monk BANzai]

So i know i'll be in the minority here.... but i really like this model of the Elantra..... if it only had the grunt to go with the looks. Went to the open house on Saturday.....

*flame suit on....
