PGA Cars exclusive distributor of Audi?

**corbon44** · June 26th, 2005 04:17 PM

Read on a daily a notice that PGA Cars would now be the official distributor of Audi in the Philippines.

I wonder why not Autostadt, which distributes VW vehicles here, after all, they (VW and Audi) are part of one conglomerate, right? Can't help but think if Audi AG (Germany) has heard the stories of BMW owners with PGA Cars...

To add, Auto Prominence (the sole distributor of Audi cars a few years back) is now suing Audi AG for P3 billion.

Apparently, Audi AG promised before then that the Philippines would manufacture Audi vehicle under Auto Prominence. To comply with this, Auto Prominence built a P4 billion plant in Pampangga (which is still unused until now).

But the plan did not push through and it was just last year that the exclusive Audi dealershp was awarded to PGA (after they dropped from retailing BMWs).

OT: Medyo dumadalas ang nakikita kong A4 1.8T, baka dahil mas-mura through PGA Cars? Gusto ko nun eh hehe.

Halos lahat may sticker pa ng ACP.

From the link:

In Customs circles, Mr. T is recognized as the dean of bigtime smugglers of imported luxury cars whose client list is a virtual who’s who (PGA cars which imports the Audi brand is one such customer) in the local car industry. Due to the illicit activities of Mr. T and his ilk, the domestic market has continually been flooded with cheap imports, to the detriment of legitimate car dealers.

I wouldn't be surprised if this Mr. T is still doing his thing under PNoy's admin
