hinde genx ako na dikit sa millenial juts. Kaya siguro i dont think like ny generation. I never really gave value to sportscars even i will look good ib one coz of ny fit body.

Wheb i watched mi3 ba yun or 2, yun kalaban ni tom cfuise ibba iba suv dun sa australia , that was time i said to myself im gonna collect suvs from there on , then hun sa Narcos series ni Pablo Escobar , i know the position of power noon pa. Those vintage suvs in netflix narcos and its effect on me , someday my suvs will be looked up to by the gen z hihi

As title suggests. buyers grow. As income grows, their buying power also grow. In north america they will eventually get an AWD or 4x4 as their climate does require better traction in winter times.

Flooding in our region has made buyers opt for higher wading depth vehicles. LCV market grew over 30% if i remember correctly.

In my hundreds of thousands of kilometers of driving, I've only ever needed to cross a flood once, and it was with an Altis, and I made it without issues.

The reality is that most of the time you can really get by with just a sedan. I've reached much farther places than most people with their SUVs. People just think they "need" an SUV.

That said, whether a real or perceived need, the market has shifted towards SUVs and that will continue for the next couple of years.

The car culture of the 90s with their riced out econoboxes has been replaced by riced out and jacked up SUVs.

Some Pinoys are "sigurista". Flood capable cars are reassuring to some. Just look at the Fortuner's selling numbers in 2017. Even with flooded streets they will never use it on flooded streets aka "segurista"

Am not one of those who modify suvs, even all my tires and rims are stock. I just maintain em shiny and neat.

Yub nga iba naka mux natatawa ako with all the chrone, sa tail light, sa door handle, sa rain visor. Money cant buy class talaga.

People from the future will appreciate original paint and neat as you go original setup suvs.

OT, but in reaction to your post, I excluded AON in my comprehensive insurance. I don’t live in a flood prone area anyway, I’d rather stay home when the weather is bad. Saved me P5k or more, money I’ve been giving them for free the past years.
