whats the RRP of a 380?

reconomded retail price wont be released untill the car is officially released later this month, but the hot money is as follows:

380 a touch over 30
380LS around 35-40
380VRX around 35-40
380LX around 40-45
380GT around 45-50

sorry that i cant be more specific :P

if you look at it it's bloody ridiculous. the GT is 20 grand more than the base 30k 380. so the GT has about 20k of extra equipment than the base 380... Wow... diamond steering wheel i presume??? :nuts:

i seriously think mitsu is going down down down

on another note... fiak it's so hot in brisbane right now (26 degrees C at 1am) ... look at the southern cities and they have cool 10's :rant: should've moved down to melbourne when i had the chance grrr

Ermmm... They havent actually released the figures yet.

Most car models are priced similarly between their low and upper end...

I gots a feeling the GT will be cheaper than we expect.....well, it better be! :doubt:

yea of course i remember. maybe i forgot to add that this kind of system won't work anymore. correct me if i am wrong but the commodore lumina has about a 20k diff over the base model too... but they are holden. i think it doesn't work in times like now if you have a 20k disparity between the base and top model just based on equipment levels. and to add to it, holden has V8 variants at the higher end and mitsu doesn't. at least in the past, no doubt a couple of kw's more for the VRX was negligible, at least it still set it apart from the lesser powered models. well that's my idea anyway... we'll see what happens in time :D

Firstly, the lumina is just a limited edition exec commodore with a few extra goodies, same as a solara was on a magna, also if you check the price difference between a base V6 commodore, and a V6 Calais, i'm sure you will see around a 15k-20k price difference (then plus a little more for the V8), same with a falcon and same with a camry, its generaly only the european cars where the equipment spec as well as the motor spec goes up with price.

yea of course i remember. maybe i forgot to add that this kind of system won't work anymore.

Yes it does. EVERYBODY had been doing it. EVERYBODY is still doing it.

Toyota Camry:
Sedan Altise Auto 4sp 2.4i $29,000
Sedan Altise Limited Auto 4sp 2.4i $29,000
Sedan Ateva Auto 4sp 2.4i $32,730

Sedan Grande Auto 4sp 3.0i $46,000
Sedan Azura Auto 4sp 3.0i $49,100

the azura is about 150% more than the altise. same engine size. same difference between estimated base 380 and 380GT.

whats ur next whinge?

*Edit* oh, and the cost of the Azura and the 380GT look like being exactly the same. go here (http://www.redbook.com.au/vehiclesearch/detail.asp?key=TOYO05JL&veh=y) and show me something the 380GT doesnt have. good luck! oh, and the 380GT is more powerful than that camry, and i bet it looks better.
so please stfu :)

well, i dare say none of us on here are in the wealth/age bracket for a GT, but the model exists there if someone wants it. luxo has always been disproportianately expensive compared to base model. but thats the way it should be, right? the fewer sales of fully optioned up models to wealthy execs should go to partly offsetting the sale price of the base models so plebs can afford them. meh i can't afford one, i'm sub-pleb.

stop posting before you hurt yourself

commodore, falcon, camry, liberty, mazda6, they all have similar pricing structures and they are all successful

my tolerence to the dooms day theorists is starting to wear thin, how about you actually drive the bloody thing before you pass judgements k? ta

jesus christ you can't give an opinion on this forum these days anymore :nuts: . i've been on here since the start and more and more young idiots are coming on thinking their opinion is the right one. and to add to it i wasn't even aggressive in passing my judgement... even leaving it open to question by saying we will see how it will perform in due time. yea so what if i haven't driven the car before... can't i pass a FRIENDLY opinion/"judgement" just by looking at the specs? chill out KIDS for cryin' out loud... i've been around the world more times than you have been around your own country... i've seen IN ACTION far more than what your arrogant young minds can care to imagine

and this has what to do with the 380, and opinions on it? oh yeah thats right, just u trying 2 make urself sound higher than us.

:nuts:

Ok moving right along people... (back on topic please)

oops!... Look what I did, mah.

I think the classic con on the motorist, is the XR6. Identical engine, I think it gets slightly stiffer springs, and different wheels. For $5K more than a base XT.

Mind you, my TJ VR-X cost me a lot of money, for plastic, some wheels, a 8kw muffler, and some badges. I could have paid $7K LESS for a Sports and had the same car. :)

But I like my VR-X. :)

I think we will all find that Mitsu will bring out a 'sports enhanced' 380 in the first 12 months. With around 190kw. Not difficult. A bit like how Ford have duped BA owners for 3 years now, buying lots of XR6s instead of base XTs. :) Hasn't hurt Falcon sales.

What has hurt Falcon sales is the Territory! :)

compare apples with apples...... not apples with pineapples...

Just for you guys, here is the official press release:


Mitsubishi 380 Pricing
MMAL is pleased to announce the pricing for its new 380 range, and to compliment the stylish 380’s extensive range of features and industry leading 5/10 warranty, Mitsubishi is adding another industry first to the 380 range – the provision of 5 years' roadside assistance as standard with all 380 models.

Compared with its predecessor the new 380 range is a substantial improvement in value-for-money buying in the Large car market. This is particularly so in the upper price line models where there has been significant market growth in the last few years. Around 70% of private Large car buyers purchase models other than the base manual / auto model (that is, these buyers buy the higher price models such as Acclaim/Futura/Ateva, XR6/SV6/Sportivo, Fairmont/Berlina/Grande, Ghia/Calais/Azura etc).

The upper luxury 380 LX (5-speed automatic with ‘Sports Mode’) and upper sports luxury 380 GT (5-speed automatic with ‘Sports Mode’) models at $46,490 and $47,990 respectively. This RRP represents a substantial improvement in value for money, and provides an obvious competitive RRP advantage over the key rivals – Calais at $53,290, Ghia at $52,860 and Azzura at $49,100. When the major specification advantages that the 380 LX and 380 GT have over these competitors are taken into account – both LX and GT have standard Electric Sunroof, 5/10 warranty and 5 year roadside (with the GT model having Premium 5 Year Roadside Assistance) – the LX/GT value for money advantage is very substantial ($3,000 to $7,000 plus better value).

Apart from being exceptional value for money against the Calais and Ghia the upper luxury 380 LX gives the lower luxury Large car buyer, who traditionally buys a Berlina or Fairmont, access to features such as Electric Sunroof, Leather Trim interior, 5-speed automatic with ‘Sports Mode’ and electric control passenger seat, at a substantially better RRP than either the Holden or Ford, making the 380 LX an excellent value for money alternative to either Berlina or Fairmont.

The luxury 380 LS (5-speed automatic with ‘Sports Mode’) model, priced at $40,990, is well below its major rivals – Berlina (RRP $43,450, giving the 380 LS a $2,460 RRP advantage), Fairmont (RRP $43,195, giving the 380 LS a $2,205 RRP advantage) and Grande (RRP $46,000, giving the 380 LS a $5,010 advantage). It has basically similar specification levels, except that the 380 LS has the advantage of five-speed automatic versus four-speed automatic, 5/10 warranty and 5 year roadside assistance.

The new sporty 380 VRX model, with its outstanding sporty ride and drive dynamics, starts at $38,490 for the 5-speed manual version. This is well below both the equivalent Commodore SV6 at $39,690 ($1,200 below), and Falcon XR6 at $39,710 ($1,220 below). When the major specification advantages that the 380 VRX model has – climate control air conditioning, front side airbags, and 5/10 warranty, and 5 year roadside assistance – are taken into account the VRX overall value for money advantage is again substantial.

The 380 VRX 5-speed automatic (with ‘Sports Mode’) model is priced at $39,990. With its RRP at a similar level to both the SV6 and XR6 automatic models ($39,690 & $39,710 respectively), the same specification advantages listed above for the manual model again give the automatic VRX a healthy value for money advantage over these major rivals.

Starting at $34,490 for the 380 5-speed manual model, Mitsubishi is providing an entry level model that boosts features such as climate control air conditioning, front side airbags, and all-doors power windows – features that the major players in the Large car market only provide as standard equipment in much higher priced models – at an RRP price point below both major players (Commodore entry model base RRP = $33,650 (a/t) + $2,250 for air conditioning = $35,900 ; Falcon entry model base RRP = $34,880 for new BF m/t).

The 380 5-speed a/t model, with standard ‘Sports Mode’, is priced at $35,990. Unlike Ford which has provided 6 m/t and 6 a/t to a very small cross section of the Large car buying public (the 5% or so of buyers who drive manual transmission or the 5% or so of buyers who can afford to buy a Fairmont Ghia), Mitsubishi is the first local manufacturer to provide access to a 5-speed intelligent automatic transmission with ‘Sports Mode’ technology to the other 90% of the Large car buyers. With the same features advantage as the 5-speed m/t model above, combined with the advantage of 5 a/t with ‘Sports Mode’ (Commodore, Falcon and Camry only have 4 a/t on base models), the 380 5-speed auto model represents substantially better value for money than either of the two main players in the Large car market (which are both priced at a similar level to the 380 – Falcon XT 4 a/t at $35,880 and Commodore Executive 4 a/t at $35,900, with air conditioning).

With the Safety and Style Pack (16” Alloys + Traction Control) added to the 380 5-speed auto/’Sports Mode’ standard model for an additional charge of only $1,500, the resultant RRP of $37,490 provides an RRP advantage of $2,000 over the Holden Acclaim (RRP = $39,490), and $1,685 advantage over Futura (RRP = $39,175). When the major specification advantages that the 380 model has over these competitors in this area are taken into account – climate control air conditioning, 5-speed automatic, 5/10 warranty and 5 year roadside assistance – the overall value for money advantage is clearly very substantial.

However, Mitsubishi’s positioning for 380 as a sporty, agile large car also considers other models as competitors. From the VRX model up its Euro styling and handling places it against the likes of Honda Accord, Honda Accord Euro, Nissan Maxima and Mazda6, and the 380 is equally competitively priced against those cars.

The handling characteristics of the 17” wheel package available as standard on VRX, LX and GT, and optional on LS are virtually identical with such high-end European imports as Audi and BMW, and this is clearly shown in the handling tests undertaken by Mitsubishi. It goes without saying that the 380 offers a substantial price advantage over those cars, but still offers the same (or better in some instances) quality, quietness, refinement, and ride and handling.

Mitsubishi’s 380 has an extensive list of standard features – a powerful and torquey Euro 3 compliant 3.8 litre V6 engine, fully independent suspension, large turbo-fin ventilated front and rear disc brakes with 2-pot calipers on the front, four channel four sensor ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, anti-theft alarm, VIN-encoded immobiliser, driver and passenger airbags, side airbags, power steering, power windows on all doors, power external mirrors, cruise control, steering wheel mounted audio controls, 10-function trip computer, power driver’s seat with lumbar support and adjustable headrest, front seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters, rear ELR seat belts, remote central locking with 2-stage unlock integrated into key fob and panic alarm, audible seat belt reminder, 2-DIN security coded AM/FM radio with single CD and MP3 compatible audio system with six speakers.

Option pricing:

* Metallic / pearlescent paint

$300


* Safety and style package (TCL & 16” alloy wheels) – available on 380

$1,500


* Power tilt and slide sunroof – available on 380 and VRX

$2,000

* Power seat upgrade (leather with 10-way driver’s seat with 3 memory settings and 6-way passenger’s seat – available on LS

$3,750

* Sports tuned suspension with a strut tower brace – available on 380 and LS

$990

* Leather sports seats / electro-chromatic mirror / driver and passenger sunvisor extensions and illuminated vanity mirrors – for VRX

$3,000

In summary, the new Mitsubishi 380 range represents great value for money, with all models priced extremely competitively against its major competitors. The Sports and Luxury models are particularly well priced, providing a substantial competitive advantage, while the feature content of the entire 380 model line-up means that Large car buyers have access to high value features at more affordable pricing than was previously the case.

A 380 model-price matrix follows that summarises the competitive price and specification position of each of the new 380 models against the equivalent Commodore and Falcon models and outlines the major spec differences between them.

Just for you guys, here is the official press release:
Damn you, beat me to it!

VRX is priced a tad higher than what I thought....

still good value though.

The base model I think is priced too high, I am a little shocked really. I really thought low 30s for base manual version, oh well.

All the other models seem very well priced, the GT seems to be the bargain pick of the lot actually.

The model that l would be interested in, the LX, is cheaper than l would have expected.
In terms of equipment...leather seats, sunroof....l would tend to compare the LX to
a Verada Xi. You have to go back over 10 years to find an Xi whose RRP is less than the LX.
A 1994 Verada Xi was, according to carsales.com.au $47,560.00.

In comparing the LX to the GT, there is a price difference of $1,500.
What does the GT have that's not in the LX? I'm not talking about
the difference in styling.

Yeah well other than the std boot lip spoiler it has blue tooth phone as std. I'm racking my brain to think of some thing else, but i cant. However i think the GT is alot better looking and worth the diff.

price list is here .... http://www.redbook.com.au/NewVehicle/vehicles.asp?make=MITS&family=380&VT=PS

Yeah well other than the std boot lip spoiler it has blue tooth phone as std. I'm racking my brain to think of some thing else, but i cant. However i think the GT is alot better looking and worth the diff.

Doesn't the GT have the strut brace and changes to the suspension setup to improve handling?

That's another difference.

Doesn't the GT have the strut brace and changes to the suspension setup to improve handling?

That's another difference.

The strut brace and sports suspension is also in the LX.

The GT has rear park assist and Bluetooth connectivity. That's about it.

Oh well it's comes down to personal preference then I guess.

I just came back from looking at the lineup (no VRX there unfortunately) And was rather impressed. GT was particularly nice.

I was surprised at how soft the seats were! (all models) My SP23's seats feel like they are made out of wood in comparison. Ideally I would want a firmness between the 380's and my SP23.....but it wasn't too bad.

Just checked out the 380 in Phillip Canberra. Got a quote of $38,000 on road for a base 380 auto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........hmmmmm those TL VRX AWD runout deals are looking verrry attractive.

The strut brace and sports suspension is also in the LX.

The GT has rear park assist and Bluetooth connectivity. That's about it.

And the GT has PREMIUM roadside assit while all other 380 models have only std roadside.
Plus the GT is way better looking. As well as you can't get a LX in Molton Red
