T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[acesinghit]

DSM and Nemesis, I should have said that it was in my opinion, sorry. But seriously, is speed really such a crave for that kind of money? I am sure a lot of us would rather own a safe sedan and sacrifice 3 seconds to 60mph as opposed to the STi for the same money. No? I mean with our poor roads, endless traffic lights and intense traffic, would you really take the STi for 575k? I am probably much older than you two.

I would like to know what you both drive, thanks...

[Stephon.]

I haven't renewed my permit either but.... Look at this right.

Mazda claims they're the zoom zoom company yet lets be honest here, their 1.6L engine is a dead horse compared to the elantra's own and a 4-speed automatic tranny is soo 1985'ish. The elantra has a 6-speed. At the end of the day, if we get a fully equipped 3 with the skyactiv 2.0 or 2.5 engines mated to the crisp 6-speed manual and put it on a track against practically all compact cars including mr. elantra and we would soon realize the driver's choice would be the mazda.

Even though I've said multiple times in this thread that we drive in traffic 70% of the times in this country and speed isn't exactly a factor to me.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

35% percent of the time we drive in traffic 85% of the day therefore 100% of us should not buy a car with a fast engine 54% of the time.

Man allyuh could pull sheit statistics out yuh arse to justify your own purchases you think the populace should go with. Man trying to argue that 3 to 4 second difference in 0-60 is small thing just cuz he old. smh. Ah next one driving in traffic 70% of the time so he gets a car that drives like it in traffic the 30% of the times he actually not in traffic.

Some of the justifications in this thread are overly simplistic.

lighter AWD drive car with better weight distribution + brembo brake set up with ABS / EBD and Brake Assist might actually be safer than the heavier FWD A6 with the same bells and whistles both trying to stop from 120kmph

previous GRB STi models carried 5star front and 4 star side impact ratings....

if yuh buying a car to let the neighbours know 'yuh reach' - that is a horse for a different course...

Wow. I was just pointing out that he is talking like if speed isn't a factor to him but he made a post like that above. I ain't trying to tell you to not buy a car with a faster engine. Sorry for touching whatever button I pushed.

I guess you missed the part where I said that speed isn't a factor TO ME

[kurpal_v2]

Any plans to bring the Jetta hybrid?
Bi-xenon headlights and Led taillights to the 2013 Jetta?

[mammoo]

Unfortunately no to the Hybrid. We can only get the Hybrid if we are bringing in Volume and that aint gonna happen here.

Negative on the Lights for the Jetta as well. Well not that we have heard of yet.

[acesinghit]

allergic i was going to say well the STi is a 'sports up' normal impreza but then again you might say the A6 is just a large octavia. It has been proven before that N&M will hardly sell the STi and even DM would hardly sell an EVO because we don't really have a new car market for them here as opposed to the similarly price A6 and E250 which sell pretty ok.


stephon, any idea why driver of 1100 watch me cut eye?

[Stephon.]

What's an 1100? Lol

[aidan]

You're probably not much older than me, if at all. I was just saying you can't have a problem with someone else's choice. Lots of people might choose to drive around a really slow car all week and have an STI on the weekend using many of the same arguments you have. Can't drive anywhere, bad roads etc. For safety, I wouldn't say the STI is bad. Yes the A6 will have more passive safety features, but how does that matter if the STI could maintain enough control with AWD to completely avoid the accident? You just can't tell sometimes.

As for the E and A6 selling more than the STI, yes, that will always happen in trinidad. Doesn't mean it ain't a good car. That's like saying you're sure the A4 is better than a C Class because it sells more.

[Brucemyster]

To be honest, it doesn't sound right but, that is what was quoted when asked.

I asked twice to make sure it wasn't confused with the 3.0L that was previously found in the xDrive28i but it was confirmed that it was indeed the 2.0-litre, TwinPower Turbo with 240 horsepower.

[scotty_buttons]

Waw. X3 is Prado money yes.. I'm guessing the new x5 is more than 1million now? Cuz last i checked it was less than 800

I still find that extremely hard to believe

[nemesis]

Yes the X3 is 700k, and yes the X5 is rediculous too.
Still, I don't think the X3 and Q5 should be compared to a tiguan though.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Indeed. The x3 and Q5 should be compared to a small house.

[acesinghit]

personally i find the fortuner, prado, land cruiser and fj cruiser are all over priced. I guess the reason why the first 3 cost so much is because of a 98.5% govt purchase rate of incoming stock. A toyota suv is the defacto standard of all govt transportation it seems.

[Stephon.]

The cx5 price remains justified.

[scotty_buttons]

Lol. No stephon. It doesn't. Not a vehicle like that. You cannot compare a cx5 to a q5 for instance.

Must say that the cx5 is surprisingly ugly in person. Cx7 looks way better. And it's price for a 2.3 turbo is justified.
