Don't fight it man. This is the I'm right you're wrong new car thread. Better to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Take into consideration that the first world standards ,that these cars have to endure snow weather , these paper cars we have here can't , 50 pounds of snow on yuh hood and these cars are done for ,Lol , sounds funny but true .cars in america have what we call a true bumper not a bumper skin ppl in america actually bounce and move your car on the street if they need to fit and nothing happens to your car I have seen this and they also comes with nothing less than a 2000cc engine , because of the highway rules and standards , so , how is it that Japanese don't downgrade what it is there selling us , are you a japanese

Lame ... we not getting the new turbocharged engines on the qashqai.
I sense a pattern here, first they hit us with a new mazda 3 with a old engine and now the same with the Qashqai.

Wow you are an idiot

[Master of Disaster]

Sorry I could be wrong with my statement guys ,by saying Toyota ain't world class , cause the Lexus has Toyota parts , but the real truth here is the cars built for our region is third world quality , and the us and some other places ,because of their high standards has first world designs and better quality in the same brands and models. So , we can't watch what the euro market has , cause its still 1 notch higher than the standards we accept in our country , tell me if am correct ,!!

Disagree with the notion of a reduced build quality for 3rd world. You can say cars built for countries like ours may have technical differences like suspension and engine specifications, after which it's the responsibility of the local dealer to determine what trim levels they wish to import which may be dependent on local market conditions and competitive pricing.

I this is it , the standards where is the standards , we can order a cardboard box on wheels if we wanted and t&t ppl will sell them for big price as usual,and some idiots will buy them as usual.check this most of us don't even give a dam about airbags just because if we make a bumper touch it will explode leaving the dashboard in a bad state and buying ad wagons with only a driver airbag on the steering ,where is the safety ,and the ppl takes out the steering to put smaller ones instead ,Lol ,tell me bro where are our standards

THIS.

metalgear this why we respond to posts in disagreement. Some posts on here have too much rubbish in them.

[drchaos]

Lol this guy thinks that America's "Highway rules and standards" is the reason for americans having larger engine sizes.

They have no MVT on engine size, Americans have a mentality that bigger is always better, Gas prices are relatively cheap there compared to other first world countries. Thats why .... not because of "Highway rules and standards".

Also dont matter where your car is made or where it was bought if you hit the bumper it will create a big dent inwards ... its not rocket science.

This thread depreciate to rum shop talk

True! Back to business

Anyone know if the A3 sportback here has the sportier suspension or the comfort suspension?

[acesinghit]

Toyota and nissan through Lexus and Infiniti can take Benz and Bmw on a head to head wrt the rwd luxury segment. Honda through Acura can go head to head with Audi and Volvo for fwd luxury cars. Mazda can come close to giving a poor man the feeling of owning a compact and midsize luxury sport sedan. Hyundai/Kia are master copy cats and they're doing a fine job for the masses to also feel they're in something more expensive than the actual purchase price. It's just that those Korean cars lack any form of history, character or excitement.

Gm, ford and Chrysler are simply the American alternative to the above because their line-up is huge especially gm and at least the Americans know about luxury and sports cars themselves. If it wasn't for Lexus these Germans wouldn't have pushed for better quality standards. Lexus wrote the book in quality.

I have no idea what relevance this post has in a prices thread.

[acesinghit]

It was my contribution further to the discussion posted above by 2 other users but you're right. Thing is if we "audit" postings and their relevance in threads you can feel free to cut me some slack here since where prices postings are concerned I'm more consistent in that regard over you.

New 2014/15 Nissan Qashqai:

2.0 4x2 Advanced CVT - $255,000.00
2.0 4x4 AWD Exclusive CVT - $295,000.00

Reviews look really good so far...nice balanced look. Good quality materials. Seems like a good buy. What you all think?

It's a nice van but the quality isn't there. The plastic cover at the seat base broke, the left side door rubs on the fender after a year, trunk is kinda small, gas mileage is ok, back seats don't recline, no USB/Bluetooth/mp3 (seriously, try playing a mp3 cd)


It's an ok vehicle but there are drawbacks. I wanna hear massy excuse for the door issue

[kg494EJ-1]

kurpal, is it redesigned 2014 Quashqai, also anyone knows when they will be bring in the redesigned 2014 X-trail? Need to start looking for a replacement.

[cinco]

Wow door rubbing fender means saggy hinge or twisted body. That is poor in a new uncrashed vehicle

Once saw a white Optima driving next to a new 5 series and for some reason the Optima looked better(I really tried to stop my brain from thinking that eh).....

This is not Kia/Hyundai from the 1995-2005 bro.

Ok so what is a fair price for a fully loaded Optima. Serious question?

[Ted_v2]

The optima isn't the same kia as it was before. Totally new category right now

We have the low end 'analog' model vehicles here. So imagine if we had best model being the GDI. Not sure if there's any locally. If you see that you'd be dumbstruck.
