What now for Grandis?

[squala]

Now that the cheaper-by-1/3 Innova is around, how else can the new Mitsubishi minivan gain sales? Yes, it looks better inside out, has more comfort and a better ride, and slightly better performance from an additional 400cc, but is the P500K additional price justifiable? MIVEC? Innova has VVTi (and even D4-D). INVECS-II? The Toyota also has manual override.

It's a shame that the space-age-looking Space Wagon replacement will not attract that much buyers because of this new trend catered by Toyota's IMVs. The Fortuner also costs just the same as the Grandis but is obviously more capable.

ipantay lang nila(mitsU) ang presyo sa innova at ibang usapan yan---sana

[nugundam93]

yup, lessen the price...

[BlueBimmer]

they wont lower the price cos they always point out na the grandis is cheaper than the previa w/c is its direct rival.

[mazdamazda]

I don't think that the Grandis is competing with any of the IMV line-up of Toyota.

[boydapa]

oo nga pala...sa previa sa itinapat. kaso lng sana kng itinapat yun gradis sa previa nilakihan na rin sana nila---mukhang masikip loob ng grandis---sayang ganda pa naman

If the grandis wants to break out of being compared to the innova, mitsu should make the interior more luxurious like adding DVD player and monitors, high end stereo with more speakers, sunroof, etc

[mhelskie]

okei sana grandis kaso lumabas ang innova, paktay grandis

[paulopel]

Bawas presyo ng grandis, but for now innova ako.

[BlueBimmer]

wawa talaga mitsu palagi nasasapawan..

[squala]

I know that the Innova is not the direct rival of the Grandis, but for sure, it can do whatever it can.

Maybe a 1.2M price should do it.

[altec]

dunno how grandis will last in the market. Launching month nila 5 units nationwide lang ang nabenta. Previa easily sold more than that. Innova? Loong waiting line on its inaugural month, and until now, there is still a line.

Grandis is no match against my Innova G. ^_^ (No Flaming intended. Peace.)

Grandis
165hp / 217Nm
> dual airbags, abs, ebd

Innova
136hp / 182Nm
> no safety feature

basically, you are paying for the engine of the Grandis.

IMO, Mitsubishi fielded the Grandis as a niche vehicle. it's not really geared for the average Filipino consumer. here's how I see it:

Previa = Space Gear
Innova = Adventure

there's really no direct competitor to the Grandis. it's too small to be a real minivan contender. too big to be fielded as a wagon.

the grandis won't work. it's price almost matches the previa's, but the grandis is severely handicapped as a minivan by 1) being too small -- the innova is actually roomier than the grandis at the second and third rows; and 2) by not having sliding doors. therefore, between the previa and the grandis, families are much better served by the previa

[BlueBimmer]

even the handsome front of the grandis did not help...

[nugundam93]

m2, di lang engine, safety features din and the tranny ;)

[mazdamazda]

plus the chassis of course... yan ang mahal ang development.

[BlueBimmer]

MIVEC nga, supot naman size ng grandis ehehe, mitsu phil shouldve introduced the MIVEC in the lancer 1st. stupid.

[jim]

hehehehe ikumpara ba naman ang grandis sa innova. the grandis is a vehicle in its own. if you buy and own a grandis you're one of the few who have it, and that's something............. sana nga lang ibaba pa ng konti ang price para mas maraming bibili.
