T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[Gladiator]

Thanks gastly....I am a person I love vehicles, not brands. If a vehicle is beautiful, loaded with features and not priced to badly I'm all for it. It's just in recent times, the Euro vehicles have caught my eye big time, and I won't be going to any other vehicles any time soon.

Amen to that brother....unless the japanese or koreans do something spectacular...my next car should hopefully be from the land of Bavaria und Saxony...

Koreans won in the compact sedan market.
Honestly there aren't any cars that can compete for features and price like the Accent and the Rio.
For $160K, those cars are LOADED.

The Korean's have come along way with their cars. The exterior design is very sleek and refined, but no matter how much I try to appreciate the interior, you cant help but get that cheap plastic low grade feel. Recently the Japanese cars esp. the Nissan's have that cheap feel too...

Don't buy a car! Become a Minister and you can have a Porsche or a land rover for free!

that appears to be a 06'-10' Kia Sedona LX 3.8V6. It had some issues with the electrical and braking systems but it is under a 10yr warranty program so maybe the owner is having some dealership woes.

the vw appears to be a 2004 model and is out of warranty and those Jetta's (Bora over here) had issues with electrical, mechanical and drivetrain. VW improved on practically everything with the replacement model Jetta and continues on the path of improvement. So I can understand the reasoning for saying not to buy it.

A VW Bora is an executive B14 just with much more headache.

New Mazda 3 launching today.

[nemesis]

That is one seriously wrong looking side profile.

[dogichi]

That Mazda 3 is way out of proportion, and the rear hatch is hideous. Best they had take the Mazda 6 and make it smaller

[dogichi]

Like they tried to combine a coupe, crossover and a station wagon into one. What they got was a mess.....lol. Like the design team was under the influence when they designed this car.

[drchaos]

I think it looks amazing!
Ferrari FF and mazda 6 had a bastard child!

if we getting that interior then that will be my next car when I ready sell the Jetta!

[dogichi]

To each their own.....the Mazda 6 looks a million times better. That side profile and hatch are hard to accept.....looks like a frankencar....lol

[dogichi]

Another car that must get the award for the ugliest vehicle is the Nissan Juke....many people have been calling it the Nissan Joke. Hey tuners what's the ugliest vehicle at present on the roads? Lets take a vote

[Habit7]

I remember when the 2009 Mazda 3 came out and everybody hated the smiley face.

At first glance I thought it was a 5 door Mazda 6, but it is surely stylish and an improvement over the prior model. It will sell.

[dogichi]

I think the Nissan Cube might be a close 2nd. What's up Nissan, give us some nice cars please

[drchaos]

The murano is the only vehicle they make that does not well up instant feelings of nausea at the sight of it.

[scotty_buttons]

Mazda isnt that bad looking at all.. better than the current model IMO..
Saw the new Merc E Class in the showroom.. much better looking that the current 5 series :/
wonder how much they're going for now..anyone?

Only a small house

[dogichi]

I think the E class is between $550K and $570K, based on options

[scotty_buttons]

hahaha. but Allergic is probably right

dogichi, those are the prices on the outgoing model if i remember clearly.

[dogichi]

Sterling will keep their prices close to their competition, can't see that E class going for $600K. At least at $575K they within the Audi A6 range. They may go with the prices I quoted but take out some options, and make them add ons.

[wing]

The new 3 looks really good. It definitely is more of a "shooting brake" or "sport brake" type of styling, think Ferrari FF, Panamera, Aston Martin Rapide and MB CLS 250. Very European and very distinguished from anything out there. The interior looks very tasteful, again European inspired (Volvo?) ..... even got a heads up display. The only thing that will go against this will be the ridiculous price SS decides to hit us with.

[dogichi]

Like I am the only one who fine the new 3 less than desirable....lol. Can't blame me though....love the Audi styling

[drchaos]

Yeah that interior screams Audi!

[Renaldo25]

im undecided about the 3...it kinda pretty..and kinda ugly at the same time...if we getting that iteration that is...they may bring a sedan for our market...the styling is nice if we getting that though...price will be interesting....saw an audi a5 sportback today....an a5 with 4 doors...how damned practical and just all round intelligent marketing can you get? no wonder they outselling other brands....they like an upmarket nissan....covering every niche in the market ...and creating alot of their own

[dogichi]

I waiting for them to bring the A3 sedan, which will slot in below the A4. If they price that right, A4 sales will drop....it's damn good looking but a lower price point, and with an all new interior. I would say $375K starting. Can't beat an Audi with styling, comfort and all round luxury. I would say after Audi comes the beautiful Mercedes, then BMW which is being killed by Richmond Motors and was killed before that by SS. The beema is an excellent car, but the dealers not doing the car justice and overpricing ridiculously.

[nemesis]

Don't like that Mazda 3 at all.
I find the previous E-class looked a bit classier. Still prefer 5 series facelift over E-class 'facelift'. I read that the prices in europe were going up quite a bit for the new E-class, so I expect they will do the same in Trinidad maybe? It's an odd thing for a facelift, but then they changed the entire front, and added some more features as standard, so who knows. Someone will go there and find out soon I'm sure.

[dogichi]

If the new E class price goes too high, the 5 series and the A6 can potentially take away customers from Mercedes. It's going to be tricky, but I will get a price tomorrow from my friends in Mercedes.

[nemesis]

The E is already more than the A6, but less than the 5 series. I don't think they'll raise it enough to quite reach the 5 series pricing.
