I assuming other sight based system will have the same issues. Plus 200k used vs 239 new it's a no brainer there.
239 is the base model, no eye sight included, I just out my glasses on properly lol the one you're looking at brand new would be a 289 I think, or some ridiculous price, honestly you don't need to eye sight unless you or whoever u buying it for always falling asleep behind the wheel, in that case I'd suggest checking a doctor and suspending driving privileges.

For some reason the Impreza which has the same designations as the xv is cheaper once you move up to the i-s model vs the xv, dunno why .

Saw a post that the Honda BRV fully loaded starts at 289k

If true that price will probably last about 1 month before it increases

Hello all, say hello to the new Toyota hyryder , apparently it's basically a rebadged Suzuki, from the dimensions it looks a little bigger than the s-cross but Suzuki is supposed to release their version soon.

It's poised to compete with the Creta, seltos, hr-v etc so in that class, there is also a hybrid version which from what I saw is the top line model.

So anyone think we will get this? If we do it'll have to cost less than the Corolla Cross and Suzuki already has two cuv's in our market, so would it even make sense bringing this as a Suzuki knowing that they have the Vitara and the s-cross?

Thanks to you, you have me thinking, so I prepared a list:

Raize, CHR, Yaris Cross, Corolla Cross, Urban Cruiser Hyryder
Juke, Magnite, Kicks, Datsun Cross, Qashqai
CX-3, CX-30
ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport, Eclipse Cross
Ignis, Vitara, SX4 S-Cross
Venue, Creta, Kona
Sonet, Seltos, Niro, Soul, Stonic
Trax, Trailblazer (US)
Renegade, Compass
EcoSport, Puma
Taigo, T-Cross, T-Roc
X1, X2
Q2, Q3

I suppose they made 2 categories in the small category and then they made sportier 'coupe' like versions such as the Eclipse Cross and X2. Whatever it is, they milking the segment for sure!

Looks like every company's needs at least 3 cuv's to compete, one gas model, one hybrid and one fully electric, they all also need to be at least one original model and the rest can be ' retro ' and use popular nameplates from the past ala eclipse cross, I'm sure the rest will follow soon just now we'll have a lancer cross lol I think the biggest issue would be price also I wouldn't want to be the person figuring out the market and trying to price these things.

Toyota RAV4 Limited Hybrid

The range-topping RAV4 Limited Hybrid starts at $37,575. This trim adds navigation, an 11-speaker stereo, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, and front and rear parking sensors.

Based on this how can Toyota possibly justify that price?

Or are they assuming that there are X amount of stupid people in Trinidad who will be willing to pay that ridiculous price

It’s a 2.5L engine so it doesn’t qualify for the tax exemption on hybrids currently in place

Is around 700k for a camry hybrid by TTTL also. They seem to treat hybrids more as a gimmick than anything else.

Price it how you want and who want it go pay
-toyota trinidad for pretty much everything

Nah when I bought my first car with a loan in 2008 I can guarantee FCB had no car loans of that length.
I also had worked FCB in that same year within Mortgages but also dealt with other loans and there were no vehicles loans exceeding 6 yrs IIRC

My corporate and individual clients have been enjoying those times since early 2009/10.

You can get anything you want once you can pay for it.

Or probably wait until next year and get the 5 Door Jimny (Long).....would be a much more practical vehicle for everyday use.

Waiting is a fools game in my case. Never cared for back seats on the daily and I wouldn’t pay a cent more for such a basic vehicle.
