In the retail market Triton is the cheaper model, however as this group gets a quote across it's whole fleet at roll-over time it really comes down to the incentives provided by the manufacturer month to month which can be a further discount on national fleet pricing, plus the preparedness of an individual dealer to make a deal. One thing I didn't ask was if the group does it's own servicing or goes to a dealer?
As to Chinese vehicles I still think there is a buyer reluctance otherwise why doesn't everybody buy one...time will either prove or disprove perceptions.
I don't think it's still well known just how much say VW/Audi builds and sells in China or GM or Ford etc...made in China is one thing, built in China with international QC standards is another...but I'm going way off topic...
