Yeah I said that to the dealer about the Bronze, he completely agreed that its just a way of Hyundai making some extra cash!Making Bronze the only free option is a real cheap shot on Hyundai's part - they know full well it's the least demanded option, so they are just forcing buyers into paying the extra for a colour they like...
But yeah, i'm not surprised at all they haven't continued the deposit contribution. Not only are the order books pushed well into 2022, but you literally can't even order it's main rival (Fiesta ST) at the moment... so no need to take a hit on the margins!
