TT$585,000.00
It's the same 2.0l engine in the "normal" 320, I believe the Turbo and software is just tuned differently. But the 328i does 0-60 in about 5.5seconds.
In the luxury sedan market...what can you get for 585,000?

cs;b
I still have trouble paying close to/over 200k TTD for a base model Corolla with one air bag, no ABS, steel rims w/ hubcaps, and an interior which comes in ONE colour only (not even a little metal trim or woodgrain finish...NOTHING).
Again this is the new car thread.....so we talking new car prices.

That's like auto headlights and wipers. I don't need a computer to tell me when to turn on those accessories. When my vision becomes impaired, then my brain commands my hand to switch them on. Do I really need to pay for those gimmicks?

DSM_05 wrote:No you don't need to pay for that. But by the same logic, why bother with power windows? Your brain could command your hand to use a manual actuator to "wind down" your windows. These are "luxury" features in essence.....not what you NEED to have, but what you'd LIKE to have.
Furthermore, the point is which of these FEATURES you get for the money.

-17" rims
-abs with ebd and brake assist
-1.6L
-6-speed paddle shift transmission
-push button start
-speedometer with tachometer
-dual srs airbags
-fog lights
-6-speaker sterero
etc etc
Corolla at 180k
-15" steelies with wheel covers
-front and rear mud guards
-1 or 2 airbags?
-speedometer but NO tachometer LOL
-4-wheel disc brakes but no abs
-manual a/c controls
-normal ignition start
-4-speaker stereo
-1.5 engine
Corolla sells more
Why?
1) TTTL has more aggressive marketing that SS
2) Corolla has better fuel economy
3) Corolla has better resale value
4) Toyota has better brand perception than Kia
Based on those 4 points above it seems the population prefers a different type of assurance versus the fancy 17" rims and 6-speed tranny etc..
Weird but sad.

Actually, the only "luxury" features I need are a/c and a radio. All the rest I can do without IF given the option. But then again, that's just me, and the local market dictates otherwise.

Just this morning my father was telling me that I'm beginning to sound like a Mazda fanboy by the way I was talking about my interest in the CX-5 and Mazda in general, but can you imagine if the Mazda 3 was priced at 260k? I can have all the money in the world and I'd never get that, I'd get the Cruze or the Jetta, it's cheaper, better, more attractive, and they're 1.8. Only thing that corolla have in the Cruze is the extra airbags. Brand loyalty is a hell of a thing.

You think people look at other things in a vehicle other than features?
What about service? Replacement parts? You think a Euro is more or less expensive to maintain than a Corolla?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with brand loyalty.Toyota vehicles have never given me the type of headache I have gotten from Mazda or Nissan; and it's the reason why I'll never own either of those vehicles again.
Basically once you take care of your car, it's going to take care of you. Don't abuse your car and not take care of it (not saying that you do) and say that it still works because of the brand.
