Thanushka Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi all, Does any one saw the interior of the new Micro SUV's. If so how does it looks like. Is it has a good quality. Following news articles says that the interior and the body are made in Sri Lanka. http://www.dailymirror.lk/sections/supp/Rear/240207/01.asp http://www.dailynews.lk/2007/02/26/fea19.asp And why didn't they update their web site yet. Because of that they are going to loose a the advantage e-marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpmac Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have seen the Rexton and the quality is good compared to the Indian alternatives, I dont think its fair to compare the vehicle with Japanese models due to the price difference and looking at the articles it looks like it can only get better for the micro guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 i'm glad that this is happening for the micro guys coz the attempt at cars wasn't all that successful... personally i think the micro trend was way better looking than the qq.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozozo Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 apparently they have targeted the key components to come with the name tag of reputed manufacturers as a whole part. any showroom to check on the unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAm Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I checked out both the Rexton and Kyron. The Kyron is a bit off Jap quality when it comes to the interior, but the Rexton is up there or at least very close. The seats are made here and were comfortable! Leather is not exactly Napa in Merc/Audi or Momo in an Alfa but still very much better than the awful fake leather on Singapore imported cars for example.

fuzzo Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 yes that's exactly what i was thinking....but my finances disagree.... so it will have to something smaller in value.....way smaller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya I agree with you my friend. I think it is better to introduce something like a 4wd Double cab for a price around 2.5t-3.5Mn. And also I think it is better to introduce a larger car like a wagon since Trend is a little bit too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pericles Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 fuzzo said: no..now it's time for something bigger i think. A Hummer! fuzzo said: yes that's exactly what i was thinking....but my finances disagree.... so it will have to something smaller in value.....way smaller... Oh, in that case, Jeep and the full sized SUVs from the Japs like the Patrol or Cruisers I suppose. Or a LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkster Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 had the Kyron got better rear lights it would've been a very stylish jeep... shame that... and if it has some sort of reliability (not saying it doesn't) it'd be a superb deal for a diesel jeep... don't like the Rexton's styling at all...

fuzzo Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 i was talking about the prado that came in the 65- onwards series... not the latest model, but the one before.. you can probably get one for mid to high 40's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Natural Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Hmmm, I dont think you'll be able to lay your hands on a good Prado for 4-5 Mill machan..... the Old LJ/KZJ Series (Box Shaped) Landcruiser II's are now selling for Mid 4's..... so i'm guessin a prado would be at least 5.5 -6 Mill.

fuzzo Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 you can still pick up a prado for 4.5 mil from a private owner.....65 - ones. english reg usually go over 5 mil... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milindu Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 From what I have seen, even the 65- diesel ones go over 5 mil unless in really bad condition. (65- LJ78/9 box models go around 4-5million. There was a Petrol TZ with English no's last week for 5.3 million. Thats with a 3400cc engine which gets about 6 km/l in the city and 7-8km/l out. The newer TZ goes around 8.5 mil upwards. Even the 2.7 litre GX which is a horrible driver due to the small engine go for 7.5 million up. I have heard the newer VVTi 2.7 is much nicer and gets about 7km/l in the city. Not tried it out as yet. Any comments about the New Prado Less the Rear spare wheel on the door? (Its to reduce the length of the vehicle and to reduce the body noises in my opinion).
