Mazda principal seems to make less vs Toyota principal based on the OMV but inversely Mazda AD seems to earn more margin compared to Toyota AD. On 1/14/2020 at 4:29 PM, Cheefarn said: Yup. Toyota and any other manufacturers who setup shop in 3rd world countries needs to earn more. By selling their products at 'Japs prices' coupled with much lower operating cost, their own profit margin will increase considerably 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiat5oo 1st Gear January 16, 2020 Share January 16, 2020 Went to test drive the new mazda 3 and the CX30 after the motorshow. CX30 is very comfortable and effortless to drive. The higher seating position is great and the 2L makes acceleration easy and smooth. I love the looks and the space just nice for a young couple with small kids (but no helper). I only had 2 problems: 1) the spec between the middle and highest makes no sense. The middle spec is actually missing a lot of safety equipment and even electric seats. It is not equivalent to the mid level mazda 3. The top level has a lot of equipment to me that I really don't need like the Bose. The SA agreed that it was harder for him to sell as not aligned to market. 2) the top level, luxury, only can take delivery in April. No stock since newly launched. The good part of this is you can spec whatever color and interior combo, but need to wait long long. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade price is a lot to just get the basic stuff that you would expect should have been in the Elegance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
