different class , extra 20-30k more, different types of buyers

anyone check weather the boot have button to open??

have fun waiting, SD pulling another 'Elantra' on us. went to showroom today and asked about veloster and guess what, estimated launch August and price around 130k. owh yeah. from q1 to q3. SD should be called Slow Darby.

anyway, gf's bro confirmed everything and finally when we asked if delivery's possible and the faggot said, actually you need to wait for 2nd batch, first batch are for those who have 'booked' way before. we expected that though. dint had a chance to test drive but i did 'molest' the car and built quality aint that bad, even compared to the civic but somehow, lost the oomph that i had for the car. now the interior looks, plain.

130k...out of radar

faggot

yeah, the SA kinda noob. know nothing. he din't want to give discount cause he said they did not get the 'margin or whatever' yet. cant remember. my gf's bro said discount 1000, shut up and take my money . he agreed but he said it will not be certain (discount) until the launch?? dint it launch already? i dint care much la, he did the talking i was there molesting the car. i was only there to enquire about veloster.
no turbo, only the same "underpowered" 1.6 which alot of review said that too in veloster forums. but apparently 0-100 is good, under 9 secs. if 130k, i doubt it will sell. only advantage it has over CR-Z is back seats and of course, 3 doors design lol.

Same thing when i book month ago..don't know their exact commission and price etc so cannot give details on offer / discount. But he said usually few hundreds worth of tint and petrol voucher sure got.

If you visit the hyundai dealer at Burma Road. U will vormit blood, then u will know what's the meaning of know nothing.

Now August pulak???
Last I asked was June (yes, it's a delay from initial announced Q1.

Seems that HSDM credibility has indeed down the drain.

Initially was hopeful for Veloster. But looking at all the negative review on the 1.6 Elantra power department, kinda worries me.

Maybe I should drop the plan for trying to act young and go for a proper D segment... K5?

maybe, MAYBE la, 'gomen' trying to adjust their price again hahhahaha. or SD actually plans to wait after election in case car tax will be removed? (yes i know SD GLC) just some wishful dreaming lol.

hopefully i can have my verdict after test drive(probably nxt week)

Is crz selling well?

Added on April 2, 2012, 8:22 amIf turbo coming i think you will need to pay around 160k for one.

No official figures yet but quite a number on the streets. Even during the initial launch, bookings were more than expected

Juz kinda wondering how many people is willing to spend that kind of money for such a small car.

ppl with extra cash and they dont know just what to do with it..... eg: "damn... maybe i'll just get a nice 2-door sport hybrid to drive around town just for show"

cars like this are just not practical for the common use.

first batch all sold out i heard.

i would say its a great car as the family second car just like how golf gti/tsi fits in. so i'm not surprised when i saw women are driving golf gti. and of cos, its a weekend ride for the husband and a daily ride for the wife and the price of CRZ is just great .

160K for 201 horsepower and 264 Nm of torque, still consider cheap loh.

Other brand name with those numbers will sell it around 200K already.

How big is the batch? Golf is decent enough to be a family car already.
Thanks to our hybrid scheme so at least honda can sell their CRZ here rather than struggling in North America and Europe

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:14 amLater many people will start bashing and saying not worth it coz Mazda3 MPS only 175k with 256hp, go for japanese better

ya, first batch 120 units.

cos the car dont have much power compare to what they have in NA and Europe. the power can be easily matched by 1.2tsi or any diesel coupe. but in msia the pricing is just right for a flashy ride like a metropolitan flashy coupe

the reason why it is struggling in america is because, they thirst for raw power, and CR-z lacks that they expect it to be a 911 carrera hybrid.

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:22 amjust saw another one in silver on my way to office. apparently waiting time for CR-z is at least 2 months. the wait could be caused by fully import as well. i wonder whats gonna happen when government removes the subsidies for hybrids. maybe by that time we have our Preve Hybird.

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:23 ampractical is also subjective, lol. to me it is 'practical' hahaha.

120 units not bad at all considering the position of the car. The sales should be even better when CVT coming.
Strict 2 seater always have limited sales. Many people still need that kind of practicality and that's why veloster is selling so much better than CRZ in North America although Veloster only got 1.6GDi.

Added on April 2, 2012, 9:26 amHow come Veloster selling so much better than CRZ when their performance are so similar?
