Which euro is more popular?

When you compare the base Euro to the $30,000-38,000 competition, it is at the top of its class. When you compare the lux Euro to the $40,000-48,000 competition, the V6 models of the competition become more attractive.

Thanks for the info EuroDude
I will buy euro next year, but I am still not sure which one to get, the std or lux.
Here is the reason why I think Euro standard is better value.

If we look at civic VTI-L and civic sport, the RRP price difference is $ 5500 ($24490 vs $29990 for the manual).

The extras (compared to VTI-L) that we get in civic sport are:
- leather trim
- bigger engine
- sunroof
- bigger alloy
- fog lamp
- curtain airbag

The significant difference between VTI-L and the sport is the engine. The bigger engine and other lux features are priced at $5500 by Honda


Now, if we compare euro standard vs luxury, the difference is $7000 ($33500 vs 40500). The extras in lux are:
- leather trim
- sunroof
- bigger alloy
- fog lamp
- curtain airbag
- HID lamp
- front lamp washer
- front seat heater
- auto day night mirror
- electric front seat


Do you think these extras in the luxury worth $7000? I think it should be less than $7000 as there is no significant difference between std and lux. The important components for both models are the same (eg. engine, VSA).

It's different story if the lux has different engine (eg. turbo charged or bigger engine)

Based on this info, I think the std is better value.
Some people might disagree with me. That's OK. I would like to hear other people's opinions.
