You kidding right? So soon a CRV will hit $500k with their pricing lol.

360k for the HRV

These local dealerships ripping we anus boy... time to go shop at HSM yes.

[Dave]

Who has more power? Ansa or HSM?
I can't see HSM being allowed to take sales from Ansa and HSM getting away with it.

[agent007]

HSM is not recognized by Honda Motor Co. (or any other manufacturer) to honor warranty claims, TSB's, recalls and software updates etc.

You buy any brand new vehicle from HSM and you on your own unless it's a Toyota. TTTL will service and apply updates/fixes etc but at a cost, since they won't honor warranty on a vehicle that was not purchased from them.

HSM is for Toyota only and well used cars. Buy a BMW, Benz, Jaguar or Jeep from them nah and come back and tell us how the experience was. At this point, it's all talk and speculation but if you have half mil to plunk down on a ride, I don't think HSM is for you. If you hell bent on a gas Prado then I understand. At $880k it's still $300k cheaper than the TTTL equivalent and at least TTTL will support it. My $0.02

[Kritical01]

Mazda 3 prices at SS have also increased.
Core+ - $209k
EX - $252
This is based on new stocks soon to arrive.

Doh worry boy Agent calm down.... allyuh would still have allyuh market share .

Most people, with money, would keep a new vehicle for 5 years max. In that time things seldom go wrong. So if they save 100k+ by buying from HSM they will... BTW I know a couple very happy HSM Jeep owners lol

360k for the HRV

That's more than a CRV ... (source : https://hondatrinidad.net/car/crv)

[ALady4ALady]

The new HRV is actually very sweet to drive.

Feels solid. Has great tech on all levels. and is just beautiful to look at. Reminds me of a GV when it first came out. (Minus the price).
Honda Safety Sensing is excellent. Used with with lane keeping assist and adaptive cruse control... works excellent on highway and main road but not on the main road without lines. It turns tight corners like a boss. lol
It has turning lights, sweeping indicators and a whole lot of tech...like I can't find enough to type about.
The only things I don't appreciate is the small boot and the lack of a spare type, but being a Hybrid, it is as it is.

The only other vehicles to get excited for is the Volvo CX40 and the Suzuki S-Cross 2022.

Pricing hasn’t been set at yet, where you got your pricing from?

That's what I was told when I asked.

[nick639v2]

LSM officially dropped the Chevrolet brand??? One of the sales rep told me they’re no longer bringing in Chevy brand

[agent007]

They didn't drop the brand nick. The info is GM has halted production on RHD vehicles in many of its factories, some located in SKorea, Thailand, Mexico and Argentina. They also pulled out of many RHD markets, big ones such as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, UK and India etc.

I guess it was only a matter of time until that fate reached us here in T&T.

Didn't know where else to post this, but this is an excellent video explaining diesel engines, petrol engines and a comparison between the two.

Enjoy!

565k

[agent007]

C180 1.5T mild hybrid with AMG kit and panoramic roof for $565k?

[nick639v2]

That car being over 475k is a joke yes

[PariaMan]

Once it have a few JA in Trinidad they will make their money with low volumes

[j.o.e]

Pricing really way off locally. Smaller engines and no ease up.

[drchaos]

C180 1.5T mild hybrid with AMG kit and panoramic roof for $565k?

1.5T with mild hybrid means no duty/VAT/MVT.

[j.o.e]

C180 1.5T mild hybrid with AMG kit and panoramic roof for $565k?

1.5T with mild hybrid means no duty/VAT/MVT.

How ? Thought those exemptions are for full electric

My bad i thought they still had exemptions on hybrids.
Forgot they did away with them.

[agent007]

7 years ago, the C180 1.6T with AMG kit (upgraded wheels, brakes, more aggressively styled bumpers), panoramic sunroof and 7gtronic was $500k.

Today, a C180 1.5T with possibly the same AMG kit treatment, panoramic roof, 9gtronic, electric motor assist, additional tech and safety features for just $65k more means that it is in keeping with market expectations of this particular niche.

I reckon the performance of this new 1.5T mild hybrid could be equal to or even slightly better than the older 1.6T motor. That 9gtronic is so efficiently designed, it puts the power to the wheels quite efficiently as well.

So $65k more after 7 years for a true entry luxury (rwd) Benz? Why not? This ain't no A200 or CLA fwd poser with a Nissan/Renault supplied 1.3T engine.

Consider the CRV back in Q4 2017 which was priced at $359k. Today that same model sells for $415k, a jump of $56k. So if Honda could do that and get away with it after 4 years then what makes Benz any different after 7 years. Food for thought. Open to another perspective.

[death365]

i think we have a new winner for the ugliest vehicle in T&T.

Worse than the (already dent-in) Elantra ... worse then the hearse styled Mini....

the xpander cross

[ProtonPowder]

I think it difficult to get more ugly than the first Eclipse Cross and the Toyota Rush breadvan

[Gladiator]

[facebookvideo][/facebookvideo]

I think it difficult to get more ugly than the first Eclipse Cross and the Toyota Rush breadvan

The very sad part is that people actually buy them...

[nick639v2]

I kinda like the new Elantra tho… the N one looks tasty

this is correct, great price

honestly thought with the new interiors the 206 amg line wouldn't be anything under 650k

only issue now is the front of the car is ugly af and a damn shame because the rear is sexy

hard pass on this gen

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

9 seater?
Very futuristic looking

[agent007]

It’s actually a 11 seater vehicle but word has it that Licensing would only register it for 8 passengers. Cost is claimed to be $483k and is supposedly due to hit showrooms this week coming. 6 units on its way.

Consider instead the tried and tested Noah/Voxy, Alphard, Hiace or Serena, Elgrand and NV350.

Entirely plausible as I know this was the case for the H1 "minibus".

Here's a good video although I am not sure if this is the same spec we'll get.
