Standard Range Price Increase!

My buddy took delivery of mid range 2 weeks ago and now it's 4k less..... Guessing he's out of luck on any kind of refund?

Yeah but you get to live in Canada.

You can order Coffee Crisp, St Hubert poutine gravy and other essentials on Amazon. No need to live in Canada. (Even better if you someone with a Canadian relative who can take orders.)

The levels you can move up in the ordering is really well thought out. I've been looking at the delta and what you get as you move up and each move up seems like a good value for what you get in range and options. I started at base and got all the way up to LR RWD before I would hesitate to go to AWD, but even that jump would be tempting with the nice performance bump you get. AP would be a no brainer for me at 4k. Colours are still absolutely ridiculously priced though.

Upgrading from SR to SR+ is a no-brainer and purposely structured this way.

Agreed l I went to some marketing course and there's actually some science or art behind this. Basically structured this way to get you to the LR+ and AP.

Still think LR RWD is the best buy since range will always be king. And after a winter with the RWD, don't regret passing on AWD whatsoever. Just get good tires! Which you'd have to do with AWD anyway... would've preferred standard AP to EAP, but holding out hope summon, etc. will be useful in time.
My own thought is anyone getting anything less than Mid-range is going to see the value of their car plummet so why not spring for a level up.

With the winter we have been having the amount of snow, I totally don't regret the Dual Motor. And yes, range is king.

Drove through downtown Toronto last night on unclear side roads - AWD not necessary with a good set of winter tires. It's an added bonus, but the range increase of LR RWD in the warmer months is added value for some

Getting up Bathurst from south of Saint Clair or the hill around Casa Loma - yes- definitely doable with a good set of winter tires, but much "simpler" and less fuss with AWD. (I am not saying it is a necessity, although for some it is) just saying, I don't regret getting it and I am ok with the small delta in range.

I wanted AWD too but it wasn't available back in April-June 2018
