T&T OFFICIAL New Vehicle Prices & Discussion Thread

[tourniquet]

What I've found sad is you have to buy the 'hi-spec' models to get the safety packages - 6+ air bags, traction control, stability control (ESC/ESP), EBD, brake assist, etc. Why??
Even the new features like Lane Departure Warning aren't even available unless you buy something German.
Also, many compact sedans are touted as 'family cars' yet they are the least equipped as far as safety is concerned.

why? Most likely because in developed countries there are governmental mandates which specifies the minimum type of safety features a vehicle has to be equipped with as standard.

A car rep once told me; trinis aren't really interested in safety features cuz they really don't know the benefits. After all most don't even wear their seatbelts unless they see the police. They're more interested in tech features and gadgets. He also said once they hear 6 air-bags they believe that they are completly safe.

IMHO, you don't really know you need it or appreciate having it until the near miss or the accident. As someone who drove away safely from a serious near miss that could've been fatal, I appreciate having all the safety features (active/passive) in my SGV.

You really think you need abs in a vehicle?

Yes. ... yes you do. It is the one system I definitely want in my vehicle.
My foot braking system cannot apply brakes faster than 3 times a second.

I'd even want ABS with EBD.

First of all...if you want a real off-road manual pickup full of adventure and packed with features...then u would want to wait on the Volkswagen Amarok which will arrive by the 3rd quarter of 2014. No pricing yet, all I know is that we will be very competitive.

Any word on the Amarok yet

What are the specs and prices the Navaras go for these days?

How long is the warranty?

Do they throw in insurance as well?

[Renaldo25]

so anybody seen any of those f-types yet?

[metalgear2095]

Drove the jetta yesterday. It's fun to drive. Very fast. I missed the little trinkets that come with my Cerato though. Still don't think it's worth 255k but considering the speed, handling and safety it's a good buy.

[kamakazi]

Ate there any base models

[Tim85]

The 2014 elantra fully loaded is a really good ride @ $219,990. There are 4 types. The fully loaded has great features. Nice car.

[metalgear2095]

Ate there any base models

Sure. With less if the things I've grown accustomed to. Keyless entry, push to start and reverse cam not there

[NorStar2K]

Ferrari La Ferrari and Porsche 918 are hybrids too, no?

[kamakazi]

Lots of fuel saving hybrid technology on tap

[Morpheus]

Oh yes. Killing the ozone to make batteries for hybrid cars. Brilliant! LoL

We doomed either way...

Nice move though

[drchaos]

Haven't you heard the hole in the ozone layer is gone

[NorStar2K]

Its actually a 1.6L and I agree the price is high. Personally I would only purchase that at that price from the firm.

Classic Motors have outpriced themselves out of the market a long time ago. They recently reduced the price of their basic CRV from $379k to $329k ... $50k.
