Presentation is not a strong point for south indo-trini businessmen.

Southern sales has very poor facilities , Kia got its own branded building because of pressure from the brand for them to comply.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't that building previously occupied by BMW?

Playing with fire and then get upset when it bun you?

Its was just an observation on southern indo-trini businesses vs other ethic business groups in the country but you start to move left.
Syrians tend to have better presentation in my opinion.

ROFL @fire.... pls stop it burns so much k.

Your observation sounds discriminatory and just generally uninformed. I've seen good presentations all over the country as much as I've seen bad, and it does not seem to be limited to any particular ethnicity nor location within this tiny island.
Eg.
Your beloved VW's showroom was somewhat shitty as well until they renovated.
Valpark Chinese restaurant is not good; the same could be said of the rest of Valpark.
Central Athletic is an excellent gym facility. As is AMCOL... and Gulf View Health & Fitness for that matter.

How bout the presentation on those Syrian owned Mario's Pizza/Pizza Boys/Rituals outlets?


Aaannnd back to the New Vehicle discussion.

P.S please keep that fire under control before you burn down the whole of Tuner.

Suzuki Ertiga or 7 seater Xtrail might be your best bet.

Ertiga is too small. It's basically a car for a driver plus 6 shrimps.

The X-trail is an option - just the price is overwhelming for that vehicle. You know if one could get a 7-seater, hybrid new from the firm? I saw someone posted that Massy may soon be bringing hybrids, so just wondering if this may be in their lineup. Will have to visit the showroom to see what space is like.

The Bentley was #1 on my list, but after looking at the price, I just felt that options were limited and I was not getting what I was paying for; plus it was too slow for my needs.

Hyundai H1 - too maxi like. Wife won't like that.

A172 - The 2016 Honda Odyssey - is this available new from Classic Motors or only RORO?

To anyone's knowledge, does anyone bring down the 7-seater minivans new (apart from Lifestyle motors)? Wife has a likeness for the "minivan look". Seems like the new 7-seaters are limited to SUVs and panel vans, with not much in the likes of the minivans. I took a look at the Captiva a few months ago but the third row was cramped, which I assume will be the case with many of the 7-seaters. And I don't care for the Hyundai and Kias just yet.

Toyota Noah/Voxy and the 7 seater Prius are the best options I can think of.
Only available RORO.

Yeah - I know of those and pretty much many of the 7-seaters available on the RORO market. Just curious about the availability of any on the new market.

Keep in mind, the roro market also brings brand new vehicles and offer warranty like the firm. I know mint cars offers warranty like that, servicing etc

You can wait for Massy to bring in the Xtrail Hybrid early next year or there are RORO dealers selling foreign new Xtrail Hybirds for $230K not sure if there are seven seats tho.

most SUV's with 7 seats aren't very practical for carrying anyone in the rear over 10 years old, I've looked at the Pathfinder, Captiva, X-trail and Santa-Fe in the last month or so, only one that caught my eye was the Santa-Fe and it wasn't for those seats. If you're gonna be using all those seats on a regular basis is better you go RORO and get a Voxy/Noah you'll be saving no less that 100K vs those SUVs

What about Serena? Seeing a lot on the road but I feel these may be a good target for thieves... Like the B12 or B13 of the seven seaters.

Mint cars is expensive. A few months ago I looked at a 7 seater hybrid in sienta. They had that for 275 k. And it didn't seem to be exempt of the taxes for hybrids, plus the sales guy seemed clueless that the hybrid needs to be exempt of taxes.

Real limited in seven seaters in this market.
