Prices are Insane

[Dr. Zaius]

Maverick makes sense to me, the Cruz... Not so much. There is definitely a market for this class of trucklette.

I've driven both and I prefer the Maverick.

How about a $50k markup
View attachment 114151

The pricing on the dealer-added options make the $50k markup look reasonable by comparison.

$500 for nitrogen in the tires?

Is dinner and KY jelly included in the dealer markup price?

It's only the most abundant gas on the planet. The ETCH option is apparently glass VIN etching, which is not only pointless but you can do it yourself with a $20 kit from amazon.

USD is worth 25% less than what it did 2 years ago...wait for $6/gallon gas coming...

But isn't $995 a fair price to pay for dealer etching that is guaranteed to not wash off, can be included in your will for your children to enjoy, and also prevents food from sticking to it?

I LOVED my Subaru Baja Turbo.

What most don't realize it that the first time you need to add air to your tires there goes the nitrogen. lol

For many the glass will be all that's left after goosing a 700hp truck.

And can be readily removed with some cerium oxide powder and a polishing attachment for a drill.

And $500 into thin air. Crazy or what. I could buy a lot of dampers for that money.

I think that many of these will be languishing on the lots once the Maverick becomes widely available.

Oh, and BIG discounts.

I actually saw both in person on the parkway last week, the maverick is small , but reminds me of a mid 90s Ranger, the Hyundai looks like something out of star wars or even an updated Subaru Baja. I haven't done any research but I would imagine the Maverick is much closer to a truck than the Hyundai in terms of versatility.

Check out the recent price drop.

Ha ha, calling bs on ALL of the stated benefits of the nitrogen tire fill. I reckon a smooth talking non-gearhead wrote that. Only tangible benefits are reduced corrosion inside wheel (a non-issue with alloy wheels), and a smaller pressure delta as tires heat up (a non-issue in non-race tires).
