I have anticipated this move from C&C ... very clever .... to beat the system and remain in CAT A .... 1.6 litres and 122 bhp.

Cat A COE dropped from last month $85K to about current $72K. C&C's retail price for CLA 200 remains unchanged at $190K. :angry:

Wonder if CnC will follow?

 

 

Given the omv of 25-28k. 168 even at 77 k coe is a margin for them around 40 k!

Yeah... Think of the margin... You will not buy liao... Haha

Only ppl who don't think too much or too rich will...

 

I was quoted £20k CIF for a brand new B180 when I enquiry from a UK importer.

Anyone had any idea how much will that cost if I bring into sg ?

Agar agar u got to add the ARF to the OMV at least. Then the shipping to sg. these I think are the major components.

Then after some admin costs here and there then finally add your bidder coe.

Bringing a (female) friend later to check out the CLA. Saw the CLA180 as a cheaper alternative but is it worth it?? List price difference is only $5k cheaper. Specs-wise the CLA80 is down on both power and torque yet 0-100 time is the same (??). Anyway they should make it at least $10k cheaper to be a meaningful alternative -.-

 

Initially I assumed that they are introducing this low power model due to the new hp criteria for COE categorisation next year, but will the OMV really be below $20k? Given that the cheaper A200 is already $25k OMV? If the OMV gonna be above $20k and this will still be a Cat B car then I really don't see the point of carrying this model.

CLA 180 is slower than the CLA 200.

 

i think the model will be attractive if next year CAT A falls.

 

OMV is still above 20k, but since its below 130 bhp, it will still be CAT A

No lah, wa lau eh!! Once the car OMV is above $20k then it is Cat B liao (current policy). Only those whose OMV is BELOW $20k BUT the power is above 130hp then these cars will be "promoted" to Cat B (new policy).

Eh bro, where did you hear this from!?!?

"the new categorisation will retain the existing Cat A criterion that the engine capacity of the car should not exceed 1,600cc for Cat A, and add a new criterion that the engine power of the car should not exceed 97kW (equivalent to about 130 bhp)"

 

i think you slightly confused. If they did CAT A requirements to be

 

1) below 1600 CC

2) Below 130 Bhp

3) Below 20k OMV

 

Then there will be very little cars in CAT A

 

Furthermore, the reason they went with using BHP as a proxy instead of Outright bhp was cause they felt there would be a fluctuation in OMV that makes things complicated

 

Hence i doubt they will restrict it so much.

 

 

CLA 200

1.6L 4 Cylinder Turbo

154hp @ 5000 rpm

184 lbs-ft of torque @ 1250-4000rpm

 

compared to the CLA 180 which makes only 120hp and 148 lbs of torque.

This is the result of allowing car dealers to bid for COE.

If dealer is not allowed to bid for COE, CLA 200 will be selling at $105k (price without COE) ($190k - $85k). When COE drops to $74k, CLA 200 will cost $179k instead of $190k

Actually they can sell you the car without coe at 115k

 

but the car only cost 59 K according to lta, and this is before the CEVS rebates
