#Saminda UK says the new C4 will be based on the C3 , becoming hatchback. To be sold outside of Europe for the first time including North America

Saminda UK Managing Director , Robert Christopher said that “We hope that the C4 transformation to a Hatchback will significantly increase our overall sales in Europe , also switching to a global platform for the car instead of European-specific underpinnings will drive down parts prices”

Saminda will significantly reduce production costs on its next European C4 by basing it on a global platform. It will onlly be offered in a hatchback style , sedan have been ditched

it will be built at the automaker’s plant in Swindon, England. The C4 hatchback will be exported to the U.S. and other markets outside Europe for the first time.

Saminda recently announced a 200 million pounds upgrade for the factory to prepare the plant to export C4 hatchbacks to the U.S., as well as Japan and Australia.

So you’re not willing to sell a fun, RWD hatchback in the US, but you are willing to sell us an underpowered FWD hatchback…

Maybe this is the reason the Americans don’t want hatchbacks? We get the ones everyone waters down with pee and everyone else gets the fun cars. So “hatchback” to an American means “Looks fast, goes slow.” when on the fast-looking ones, and on the not-so-fast looking ones, it means “Looks slow, goes slower.”

Heard a good one lately about GT badges on modern hatchbacks. GT: Going Tomorrow.

Hey mate , thanks for the interest about the C2KR

The C2KR is too expensive for the America market , that also means if we sell the C2KR in America , it will cost around 40K USD , which will be outsold by muscle cars.

The C4 now is based on the C3 , so it could fit along with the C3 in the states.

Oh yes Australia to be invaded by Samindra awesome

That is most unfortunate and will most likely reduce buyers’ confidence further. But I’ve seen your company recover from similar troubles before, and this time should be no different…

my first reaction when i read the title “oh noo…” the only kanji i can read without a translator are the last 6 ones.

“…shi te C1 nihon desu” whatever that meant…

wait… isn’t “万” the kanji for ‘thousands’? which means 23k cars not 230k?

  1. Make CZ’s cars again ( like the legendary CZ1 and CZ2 )

  2. Bring back the C6 , i know it has been replaced by CXS but you can sell it in other country like Australia?

  3. More power from CZ-S if it is consider as a sport car

  4. To many boring cars from this brand , i mean just look at the lineup.

  5. Make Auxuras a real luxury brand instead of rebadging it.

The list only shows cars which are currently in production. Why not make a list of historic models as well?

Or a table, like under car articles on Wikipedia. List might be an incredible mess with so many models and generations.

#Saminda C3 Coupe is the latest model to join the 8th Generation C3

Saminda continues to add new members to its 8th generation C3 lineup and the latest to be added to the family is the 2016 Saminda C3 Coupe, which will go on sale in North America this fall.

The 8th generation C3 family has as its members the C3 Sedan that will launch later on , followed by the C4 Hatchback which is actually consider a C3.

From what we can infer from the details revealed by Saminda , the 2016 C3 Coupe packs striking, Euro-inspired styling and C3’s world-class driving dynamics and Saminda direct-injected ProAIR turbo engine technology.

[quote]A household name and enthusiast favourite, Saminda’s second longest-running model has been with us for over 30 years over eight generations.

Previous generations of C3 were groundbreaking , many tuners and racers love them , but by the standard now , the C3 became a more practical car.

Saminda says that the all-new, eight-generation C3 is its best ever.

First Saminda to have CVT
These CVT transmissions will first debut in the 2016 C3 and will also eventually find their way into CR3 as well as C5. The new CVT will help Saminda’s cars claim 10 percent better fuel economy compared to the current five and six speed transmission.

Engines
The C3 will be offered in two engine options – 1.1-liter and 1.5-liter i-VIC ProAIR TURBO, both paired to CVT.

While the Maesima Prova majors on comfort and refinement, the new C3 is an all-rounder. With improved refinement turbo engine, tech and toys in the top model , fresh fastback styling and a sporty appeal , many a young man will feel a stirring in the loins dreaming of the Saminda C3. Just like the good old days.[/quote]

#Here is how much the C3 Coupe will cost while the Spec-V will be released later this year , both Sedan and Coupe.

Do you want a C3, but you want a car that look sporty and stands out? Then the C3 Coupe is right up your alley. It’s the most sporty C3 on offer, and the automaker has finally given us an idea of how much it will cost

The C3 Coupe will starts at $19,400. That’ll net you a C3 Coupe XE with a 1.5-liter turbo inline-4 putting out 178 horsepower, mated to a six-speed manual. If you want a CVT instead of manual, tack on $1000. The only other stick-shift C3 Coupe available is the Sport, which starts at $21,800 and bumps power output to 188 hp.

If you want to get fancy, move on up to the $26,800 SpectaL which adds leather (hence the L) , if that is not enough for you , there is a new SpectaLUX trim that include all the safety tech you need , and will cost you well over $27,000.
