So like the Honda Civic you have no choice, top of the line model is forced on you. No one in his right mind will go for the base model to save 100,000. The base version is just for khana pury to show they are offering multiple trims.
Prices are very high. I see they want to make as much money possible before new manufacturers introduce their cars. After that they will have to bring the price down.
People are tired of Honda and Corollas. They go as far as buying old imported used cars at high prices to avoid the local manufactured cars. Once the new companies introduce their cars, Toyota and Honda will be begging customers to buy their cars by introducing lower prices and more features.
They are making hay while it lasts.
