[*$kїđž!™]

Everybody knows dealers make a mint on consumers heads.....even him made millions selling his roll on roll.off.....so.I don't understand his point now.....

[rspann]

When he start to bring them in, they would be good then.

[Morpheus]

LoL ENT.

[pugboy]

What ever happen to all the tapes he was supposed to release and bring down the pp?
Lol

[Work_to_own]

well i tried searching online for availability of parts and it not that easy to find.
i know its new but i dont want stress in a few years time .
i presently have a nissan and i got to say it is the easiest vehicle to get parts for.

I currently have a navara but I am importing a Honda vezel hybrid and I am not worried.

That is like a certain car dealer in Chaguanas, called to ask if the axio he have is hybrid, he start to bash hybrid saying that is headache and stay away from that etc, a few months later I pass and what I see park up in the lot, a Honda Accord hybrid

[pugboy]

anybody done any comparisons(cost etc) between getting a hybrid vs cng car(city etc) ?

[VexXx Dogg]

I'm awaiting to see the cost, options and trim of Massy's xtrail hybrid before I make my decision.

In principle hybrid vehicle make good economic sense.
Our domestic challenge is really about pricing, warranties (and dealer assurances), availability of proper service standards and availability of key parts (network electronics in particular).
We must remember that our location in the international supply chain does impact on speed with which certain service issues can be addressed.
CVT transmissions were a nightmare and we have come a long way, maybe the same curve would apply to hybrids.
BTW, those of us who like the throaty song of an engine do have to adjust in many instances.

Interesting discussion. I'm also considering the purchase of a RORO Hybrid vehicle. Specifically the X-Trail Hybrid. As per discussion with this vendor, he indicated that there are companies locally that service these hybrid vehicles. As to whom, he didn't say.

The Vehicle costs $185k.

One disadvantage of the cng is the trunk space, and with the xtrail the battery is under the back seat .

I would recommend you spend the extra 15 thousand and get a new one than a 2 year old vehicle

[sMASH]

If due to the high temperature climate, batteries need replacement/rejuvenation(if at all possible) every 3 years or so, that could become a lucrative service market.
Its only really the battery pack which will set those vehicles apart from their contemporaries.

You may wish to look a bit further eg inverter system and smart controllers.

You might be right. However, is there really a $200k X-Trail Hybrid?

Also, does anyone know if TTTL would be selling the C-HR soon? Its sexy..

Can a hybrid vehicle work if the battery stops working?

[Morpheus]

I heard they use the battery pack to start. It eh ha no Track and Diehard battery...

[pugboy]

So hybrids gas electric cars and petrol cng cars are under the same tax waiver ?
As long as honda dealer sells at that 200k price point the roro gonna use same figure and rake their profits as inshan say

[eliteauto]

City price dropped with the arrival of the Ioniq.

Look on page 4 I posted a quote . Thats new from the firm in Japan .
But it takes 2.5 months to get here . Thats one month to get the car for the firm and the 6 weeks to ship clear to/ in Trinibad

[DJ Q]

Will the firm honor any warranty?

[16 cycles]

some toyota reps (T'dad) said yesterday that they want to halt ppl importing the CR-H as they not obligated to service it as a priority compared to locally bought cars....

new corolla comes with 7 airbags @ 222k

222k for a corolla - 222k...yeah 222k....

[megadoc1]

I see Inshan have a fb vid telling people not to buy hybrids ,he more sounding like carburetor mechanics back then when they were telling people to avoid fuel injection vehicles
