Picanto 3rd Gear May 8, 2009 Share May 8, 2009 Precisely. I believed that is what they are targeting at. If inital launch dont charge high, later when ppls start getting tire of the fresh look, how can they take the advantage by then? Do reminded that some ppls willing to pay extra cash just to be the 1st few ppls to drive the new model of the car. Take an example on Altis. Isn't during the new altis when they initial launch is also ~67k or higher as compare with their current price now? Take note that the new Altis also using the same old Altis engine without bring in the Dual-VVTi one ITS insulting for the altis to be compared to the new mazda 3. altis is the no.1 car in spore....of course its launch price can be high. moreover its from toyota. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galantspeedz Turbocharged May 8, 2009 Share May 8, 2009 I got to give it to Mazda spokeman Azela72 for standing up for the new Mazda 3 again and again. But at the end of the day, let the consumers decide. We can then judge who are the fools. I do not and have not owned a mazda before. Though i have driven 1 before. 1st thing 1st.... it is not you or anyone to decide if a mazda 3 should be termed as M3 or MZ3 or whatever... 2nd thing, i owned before a toyota, subaru, mitsubishi and currently honda..... and would try mazda next if possible. The interior is really in a class of its own when compared to other similar jap models within the same range. Though performance is lacking but it does makes up for it with other things. As a consumer, since all similar jap models are priced highly at start of launch, i would choose the mazda over others. And another thing, it is better not to judge who are fools because it usually takes one to know one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your statement because the tomyan altis is nowhere near the Mazda standard when it comes to the quality and fittings of equipment..... it really is insulting.......

Mojoe Neutral Newbie May 8, 2009 Share May 8, 2009 MARKETING PPL @ MAZDA SHOULD BE KICKED .... AT THAT PRICE .. I CAN BUY A CIVIC OF JETTA ... AND EXPERIENCE A HIGHER QUALITY OF CAR You are not a Marketing person right? The Marketing ppl at Mazda should be rewarded because some ppl are still buying it despite the pricing ...

Nobody calls their Altis.. T Altis, H Accord, M Lancer and so on.. etc.. M3, M6 to me sounds like a BMW. 2nd thing.. this I agree with you. Nice ambience but this is not everything about a car.

Gnoikj Neutral Newbie May 8, 2009 Share May 8, 2009 Sorry, but I didn't say that...Axela did...in his own words.... I believed that is what they are targeting at. If inital launch dont charge high, later when ppls start getting tire of the fresh look, how can they take the advantage by then? I think not fair to attack on the individual preference.... it's like this.. once you like it and fall for it... other things dun matter... it does not matter wat ppl think.. they like it they buy it.. and that does not means they are any less wiser than any of us.. just that they got hook and we don't... ... still I dun like the ad....

Davedesouza Neutral Newbie May 8, 2009 Share May 8, 2009 (edited) Considering just STYLING only - The Mazda 3 does have the edge over the blend-uncle-looking Altis, the slightly-dated Latio, the Whale-Looking Impreza (possibly designed by Ah Seng - LOL). The Civic still looks good though. But at this price, I would still go for continental rides... <---- nb... still stuck in second gear Edited May 8, 2009 by Davedesouza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axela72 5th Gear May 8, 2009 Share May 8, 2009 (edited) Some guy will prefer to have a girlfriend which is pretty (can be bimbo. example many model ar like that) than a capable gal (since how many capable successful busisnesswoman, senior executive look attractive?). She will be a gem if she is both attractive and successful. Same thing goes to a car as some ppls consider a car as 2nd wife. Hope you all understand where am I coming from. More example. Will you prefer your wife to be a pretty clerk who alway listen to you or a wife that is CEO who control or alway argue with you because she is smarter than you? Different people has different preference in choosing their ideal wife, isn't it? Edited May 8, 2009 by Axela72 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
