RyanS
look at this! m6 was 1 of my considerations before booking Lancer GT......

Wanna jump ship???
donyong
Mazda6 is in the D-Segment, competes against Accords and Camry and would cost 160K++ or more...if not mistaken unless its 2003 stock..
RyanS
i know but they are targeting "Brand M" kekekeke

try to steal some fustrated buyers to jump ship.... good try anyway...

it says
"Price almost the same with lots of differences" LOL

and

"Notice: Booked your favarite Janpanese car, but haven'y taken delivery? Wish to explore more, talk to us today"

i hope this will give a slap to MMM to wake them up...... but i doubt there care coz there just can't deliver.....
bwtc
I think Ryan is right, the Brand M, is referring to d lancer n MMM. As for FC and Engine performance not tested, kinda bullshit, as we ady know wat's the FC for the car and the Engine Performance, BRING IT ON devil.gif devil.gif devil.gif
donyong
MMM, are you reading this? How can this be happening? This is the first time that such an advert is put up in our media.

Goes to show what Naza thinks of MMM. You dont see them doing this this to honda, toyota right despite the long waiting period?
InfinityGT
It means that all the make out there is feeling the pinch. But hey..MMM please do the needful.
terion
wow, direct confrontation! blink.gif

that ad would certainly be a slap on MMM's face but like donyong said, its a different segment car and if its priced "similarly" it could be old stock they are trying to get rid of...

I ve been thinking about VW 1.4TSI engine which is available in Golf GT (not GTi which has 2.0 TFSI and priced at RM200K). A review in autocar, showed the bhp around 160+ and 0-100 around 8.5 seconds. Since the displacement is only 1.4, the price should be much less than GTi version. In UK it is priced around 18K (CRV is about 20K).

If it is available here, I might jump ship to VW. The same engine powered VW Tiguan (CRV class) due to launch soon in s'pore.

I was also interested in the GolfGT, who wouldn't want a 1.4 turbo + supercharged engine. But i seriously doubt IF they bring it here, the price will be lower than the Lancer GT due to import tax etc.
lancer_dude
if they bring in GTi and can still find buyers, why not GT version with lower price and lower displacement to take advantage of NAP. power is 170ps (TSI) and 200ps (T-FSI)

golf pricing

in UK, the RRP of lancer is about 11,742 pound

Lancer UK price

Golf pricing in UK


ur gold pricing link is wrong, its pointing to the same engine photo in ur earlier post.

Found another link to the pricing (PDF):
http://www.vw.co.uk/assets/pdf/golf_hatchback_pricelist.pdf

if you compare the cheapest GTI sold in UK is around 20k UK Pound which translate to roughly 200k RM if u buy one here.
so if the cheapest GT is around 17k UK Pound, how much u think it will cost to get it here?
lancer_dude
model / my price / UK price

polo 1.4 / 110K / 10-11.5K

polo UK price
polo my price

let me see, thats mean a 17K golf GT will be RM170K. then already in D-segmen & has to compete with accord 2008 with 180ps

looks like we got a formula to converr the the price from UK to here, just x10...lol biggrin.gif
InfinityGT
this engine will be high on maintenance as turbocharged alone already require one to change all fluid in the car in every 3000KM interval and it require better oil some more. With both supercharge and turbocharged. That would hurt a lot on the pocket.
prodmar
The ad definitely should be posted to MMM incase they dont read the newspaper *hahaha
terion
if i remember correctly Clarkson once describe the car's engine was as smooth as falling down the stairs chin first... wallbash.gif

How to compare Mazda 6 with M. Weird. I was looking at this early last year and i was given the price 168K or something. I think this is Accord/Camry class.
terion
and i just noticed something, they proudly say the mazda comes with 3 yrs warranty but "somehow" miss to state that brand M's comes with 5 yrs warranty...lol whoops.gif
desmond
Hurray....that is interesting. If not I'll be damn bored when i've gotten my car. I'm wondering what will happen if GT can always stay ahead of it's competitor. Bro bwtc and alxand, let's bring it on man...
zahang
the mazda got paddle shift meh?

Not too sure on that thou. But who cares if they can't even overtake GT?
terion
from the ad it says it has "5 speed automatic with activematic +/-" so could be just having the + and - on the gear shifter it self...

If I'm not mistaken the 2 litre mazda6 is about 130K....remember seeing some promotion when i passed the showroom the last time...but not so interested as new one supposed to come out next year
dcspeed
Yo bro, actually I went to Naza showroom at TTDI last week. The main intention for me is to check out the Mazda 6 who currently having a promotion. However, the SA told me the selling price after discount is about RM135k+ ...

In terms of quality of build, Mazda 6 is top notch. Especially the interior and the front projector xenon headlamp, I love it very much!!! However, the new Mazda 6 will be launching next year. I guess same thing happened like Honda Accord recently, huge discount given till year end...

Well, it will be another Keep In View car selection for me in case I get fed up waiting the Lancer GT...

From the Mazda 6 advertisement today, seems like what I told the Sales Manager at Naza really bring some effect on it... I told him, I already place RM1k booking on the new Lancer GT, however, no news yet regarding the delivery. He said he can work out something to compensate the booking fee........ I will check it out again when I back from Kelantan this Friday.

dcspeed is so frustrated is reflected from his actions. Hhahahhaa......Yes yes, the choice is yours. Mazda is still a good car.
InfinityGT
the discount is for the old version of the 6. From outside doesn't look like a big car. Well, still is ones choice. For me I won't be going for older model as one may feel depress when the new model hit the street right after you just bought it.
donyong
As the advert said, can "nego"...so 120K is possible ...
prodmar
is there a new ver coming? my fren bought 1y ago for ~160k 2.0

price drop like crazy wei??

last round i saw the ford focus (sedan) and mazda 3(garang black) also very solid i must say...

Wow, if M6 can nego until 120k, how about M3? If it's 105-110k, I'll go for it.

mazda 3 1.6 was 100k when they had the promotion last time i saw (in august). not sure about 2.0 version. Doubtfully will be less than 110k though!
WhiteSurfer
Mazda3 2.0 shud be in the 125-129K price range...that was bout 3 months ago. Donno whether they have slashed the price like the outgoing Mazda6. Im guessing the promo is for yr 2006 Mazda 6... so in essence its an outgoing model and almost 2 years old summore.

Hmmm....think wisely bro.

mazda 3 in paper last saturday - but the MPV look??? only 90+k for 2.0

90+k, if i am not mistaken, no leather, no spoiler, fabric seats, no sports rim( rim cover only), non metallic colour. I test drove this in June, and that time it was selling about RM99++.
Overall impression, so so....4 speed only. Felt heavy on the car though.
prodmar
that must be the one then...mazda is keen to gain more market share these days with more non-continental pricing *lol
donyong
Mazda3 is soooo small...

heehee... MPV look...thats a good one thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

R u guys sure its the 2.0? If thats the case those who bought the 1.6 Merdeka promo will be sad.gif sad.gif since it was 109-113K ( depending whether its CnC or NAza ). Anyhow, for those who have booked ur GT...pls. be patient coz u wont regret it bro.
Slash
If new Mazda6 selling price in between 120k-130k I think a lot of people might pull out.. This new design M6 really look sleek...the front look is just perfect...But I don't think they can sell at this price.. The old model maybe can to clear up the stock...
terion
Saw a sort of road show at Hartamas Shopping Complex yesterday after work, The mazda6 was selling for 135k for the 2.0l model, not sure if after or before discount.

couldn't really ask the SA there since I was wearing the "wrong" t-shirt rolf.gif
donyong
Since the new Mazda6 is splashed all over the internet, the 120-130K is definately old stock, unless its for the new mazda6, then the Accord and Camry fans wud have a lot to worry about...
Slash
Yup ..definitely the old stock..A lot of car maker clearing up the old stock including toyota..The used to be uncle car altis which is not so uncle already with added bodykit also selling at discount..Next year new altis which is camry look alike little brother also will be launched...So for those don't mind with old model can go for it..

yeah the model is dated. IMHO, the design is not dated and the built quality is top level.
