rmc523 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Looks like Nissan's floating D-pillar is here to stay. A floating D-pillar is not a bad thing if done right. Nissan and Lexus have found strange ways to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker16 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Mazda CX-3 to start at $19,960, joining the new $20,000 club Gabe Nelson Google Plus RSS feed Automotive News | July 16, 2015 - 1:32 pm EST -- UPDATED: 7/16/15 3:33 pm ET - corrected Editor's note: An earlier headline misstated the CX-3's base price. It is $19,960. All around the auto industry, executives are betting that they can sell Americans on a vehicle with the height and style of a crossover, yet the agility and size of a subcompact. The magic number for making that sale, it seems, is $20,000. Mazda revealed today that its new CX-3, which joins the Honda HR-V, Nissan Juke and Chevrolet Trax in a burgeoning market for mini crossovers, will start at $19,960 ($20,840 including shipping) for the 2016 model year. For the base price, plus or minus $300, a customer will now be able to choose between a CX-3, HR-V, Trax and Juke, all with front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. (Honda is alone in offering a stick shift; it sells for $800 less.) It shows that mini crossovers are taking a common position in lineups across the industry. They are being priced above compact cars, which usually start at $16,000 to $18,000 before shipping, yet below midsize sedans, which have clustered together at a starting price between $21,000 and $23,000. "We wanted to send a strong statement that new buyers, early adopters, empty-nesters and right-sizers can get everything they want in a crossover that fits their needs," Jim O'Sullivan, CEO of Mazda’s North American arm, said in a statement today as the company revealed its pricing. In the U.S., the CX-3 will be sold with just one engine -- a 2.0-liter Skyactiv engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. It will top out at $28,160 for a Grand Touring model with optional all-wheel drive and an added technology package, before Mazda’s $880 shipping charge. The $20,000 club Honda HR-V: $19,915 Mazda CX-3: $19,960 Chevrolet Trax: $20,120 Nissan Juke: $20,250 All prices refer to a base model with front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, before shipping.

bzcat Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Here is the base MSRP for the whole lot of them... Jeep Renegade has an artificially low starting MSRP (with manual transmission and no AC). Otherwise, everyone is basically starting at $20k across the board. B-segmentMazda CX-3 base MSRP $19,960 - $24,990Buick Encore base MSRP $24,065 - $30,935Chevy Trax base MSRP $20,120 - $26,530Fiat 500X base MSRP $20,000 - $29,000Honda HR-V base MSRP $19,115 - $25,840Jeep Renegade base MSRP $17,995 - $26,795Kia Soul base MSRP $15,190 - $20,790 (note: FWD only - you can see that Kia is probably leaving money on the table here)Mini Countryman base MSRP $22,750 - $27,850 (excluding JCW version)Nissan Jule base MSRP $20,250 - $30,020The real bargains are Jeep Compass and Patriot twins and Mitsubishi Outlander Sport... bigger and cheaper, at least as far as base MSRP is concerned (also, don't forget the massive rebate and discounts).C-segment hatchback size CUVJeep Compass base MSRP $19,395 - $26,690Jeep Patriot base MSRP $17,295 - $26,290Mitsubishi Outlander Sport base MSRP $19,595 - $24,995Subaru XV base MSRP $21,959 - $29,295VW Tiguan base MSRP $26,255 - $39,625You can also see how out in the left field VW is with Tiguan's ridiculous (lack of) value proposition.

Hydro Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A ton of these cars are popular because they can flat tow behind a RV. I'm guessing Buick has lots of the retired RV customers. I've also seen a few Souls in campgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
