It seems every non-luxury car I see with HIDs is a Nissan. Maxima, Altima and/or Murano...

Who else out there with a non-luxury name is pushing these things in cars... Maybe a couple of Chryslers... A VW or two?

Certainly not GM, Ford, Honda or Toyota...

 

Honda S2000, Toyota HID options, rx-8

 

Prius I think can have them
TSX is not really a luxury car no matter what its badged, it has HIDs.
Doesn't the Sienna have them as an option? Mazda 3 as an option?

 

mazda 3 has them as an option, i know that

 

Here’s a list of car manufactures that do NOT come with xenon’s as an option:

Buick
GMC
Hummer
Hyundai
Isuzu
Jeep
Kia
Saturn
Scion
Suzuki

 

whered you come up with that?

 

Me.

 

looks like somone did there hw, good job

 

hehe, what can I say I'm bored.

 

TSX falls under a luxury brand. Doesn't count.

 

IIRC, the 1G Focus Mach edition had HIDs and so does the Mini Cooper S.

 

you must be, what is an IIRC?

 

STI and evo

 

^^^ ahh two cars we totally forgot, definatley not luxury

 

The Sienna XLE has it as an option.

 

If I Recall Correctly.

 

new toyota avalon has got 'em

 

The new Mercury Montego , http://www.mercuryvehicles.com/vehic...3=exterior&n4=, comes with HIDs and LED tail lamps.

 

i think the smallest suv of the gmc has HID, it's suburban or somethingg

 

VW new beetle got HID option.

and mini cooper

 

The late '90s Envoy had HID's, but none of the new GMC have them.

 

The Denali has HIDs. Does Pontiac have HIDs??

I really hope Chevy, Ford dont come out wth HIDs on there normal cars, it would just be tacky.

 

HIDs will become standard fare eventually. Most likely luxury cars will then differentiate by going to LED headlights, or at least having a combination of the two. Right now Audi has it in the W12 A8, but only as daytime running lights.

 

The Yukon Denali, Envoy Denali, and Sierra Denali doesn't have HID's listed, and yea I forgot to include the Pontiacs in the don't have HID's list.

 

AFAIK, IIRC is If I Recall Correctly. It's just a WAG, so I might be wrong. IMHO I've been wrong before AMHIK.... BTDT

WALSTIB....

 

Ford focus out of all cars someone tell me why????

 

Why not? In Europe they have them too.

 

The old Olds Bravada's had them

 

that new VW SUV has HID's, always mistake it for an RX or something. especially hate that HUGE VW emblem
so when will all cars have HID's stock and we wont have to worry about HID theft anymore?

 

Now that was impressive.

 

cant knock on acura, mine came with hids, my cousiins m3 cost 55k and he didnt get them

 

HID is not a luxury feature anyway, more of a safety feature.....It might've been considered a luxury feature when it was costing $1000+ a set....but not anymore and especially the techonology has been around and is nothing new, it'll be cheaper and cheaper and more common, and it's common sense....

Further, the cars in the US market tend to be slower with technology gadgets anyways.... for example, in markets outside of the US, a 98 (or was it 2000) integra R had HID's.... a 92-95 EG civic had auto climate control (how many year did it take the US accord to offer this? like not until 98??).... a 99 civic R had navigation.... a 99 E class had distance sensor all around the car that works even when driving (not just backup park distance), a new JDM Accord (TSX body) has front side and back camera option, and of course HIDs... just to name a familiar few.

 

i remember the ford focus has an hid option for the sporty model.

 

as far as I'm concerned, HID's are no longer an indication of "luxury" or "prestige" or "wealth" or whatever... and there is consequently no need to limit them to such. HID's are a safety feature, they let you see more - and that is the path they are going to take in the future.

LED headlights... now that is some prestige there. I only know of one car that has em, the latest Infiniti Q45. Are there any others?

 

this comment=stupidest comment ever....

 

only offered on the SVT, if thats what you mean by "the sporty model"

 

I've got real aftermarket Xenon's on my Tahoe, and they are really nice, I really like them. I guess since they're on my truck, they're not luxury, oh well...

 

Those aren't LED's. They are HID's but just have 7 lenses to focus the beam.

But the RDX concept had LED headlights, which probably won't make it to production.

 

The Mach Edition Focus ZTS (w/ the 460watt system) also had HIDs.

 

why? im not talking about over in europe or anything. Its a ford focus. How non-luxury can you get? explain why my post is so "stupid" so maybe i can become as smart as you.
