Sports Car Sales Are Declining - Sporty SUVs are the New Trend

[gearhead000]

About sa Camry, nanghihinayang pa rin ako dun sa na-TOTGA na unit. I was actually looking for Altis lang when I chanced upon this Pearl White Camry. From the pics, everything seems okay at sabi nung owner coding car lang daw. Eh since di pa ako familiar sa resale value nito I thought the price is too good to be true. When I have done my due diligence and ready to put in my offer ayun, nabenta na.

On topic, I was just watching this clip on You Tube sort of dissing the Lotus Elite. The onset of social media sort of democratized this segment din. When previously we can only read "praise releases" now you get the perspective from actual owners and experts.

Di ako familiar sa auto scene, pero un dami ng nagpapa off road look ba napunta talaga ng off road?


Ung tiis pogi na lowered dati na kahit sumayad sa humps, ngayon palakihan ng rims, walang suspension upgrade. Ok lang kahit matagtag, pogi naman.

Sa dami ng bibilhin mo sa offrad, saingan, pang-grill, tent, mga survival knives, collapsible chairs, all-weather backpacks and bags, i doubt if most go offroading. Hanap na lang sila ng dinedevelop ng subdivision na hinde pa sementado, putikan mo, then selfie, ok na.

Kahit yun budget na lang sa autobot autowrks na lang ang pag-iponan

no way

arte arte napakaselan ng mga may ari ng SUV/pickup konting dumi punas

every week detail carwash

tapos ilulubog nila sa putik?

perish the thought

Exactly *uls, ako kumpleto ako talaga. I have 2 washmitts color-coded, isa pangtaas, isa pangbaba. I have tirebrush for the tires, a squegee a pail only for washing purposes, and i stock up with German - made drying towels. In my garage cabinet, kailangan lagi may degreaser and multipurpose cleaner, car shampoo, quick detailer, tireblack, plastic trims blacker and leather sprays , and a glass cleaner,. I even have a separate vacuum cleaner for my cars only.
And my water spray, kailangan adjustsble, depende kung sa sobrang putik or hindi naman umulan the entire week


Would you beleive, i even bought this tireblack applicator for P300 lol



Para sakin the hardest part of cleaning is the tire brushing nad the wheel wells brushing, i dedicate an entire 10 minutes for that each car. Kasi balewala kung malinis ang paint tapos nang-gigitata ang gulong. Para ka nag Suit sa ayala meeting, tapos leather shoes mo parang natalsikan ng mga sauce ng fishball etc.

And also dont forget to make the plate numbers super neat, kasi sayang eyesore yun di mo nilikinis plate numbers or bingkong

Tama bro., SUV para sa mga Pinoy para sa porma.

Ako, gusto kong malaki ang dala, just in case...

I remember a distant relative saying, "for a car priced at 2M, I'd rather buy SUV." I even heard a comment, "why buy that car when you can have a 'better' SUV?"

For most of those with SUV's "flood safe reason that I bought this", I have yet to see them wade through a hand span deep flooded road. I find this very annoying that I see them so "afraid" to go through and would cause a traffic jam. As I am familiar with the road, I'll go through the shoulder and pass all of them. The only instance that I'll stop is that when I'll be passing a jeepney. I don't want the passengers to get wet.

However, I admit that I won't have the guts to do this if I'm driving a car.

kung mas malaking sasakyan ang mabibili mo sa parehong presyo, doon ka na sa mas malaki

kahit truck talaga (6 stud, ladder frame) ang binibili ok lang mas sulit eh

yan po ang mentality

[uls]

and i don't buy that "para sa baha" reason

gusto ng tao ang SUV kasi everyone's driving an SUV

it's keeping up with friends and neighbors and kamaganak...

parang "join the club"

Um, actually that's one of the major reasons ... and also it's a diesel ... and seats 7 ...

Dyan tayo magkakasundo uls, ako never ko dinadaan sa grabe baha mga suv ko, Baket, eh andami sensors kaya sa pang-ilalim. O2 sensors lang or ABS can trigger the check engine light eh, pa scan lang aabot na ng 5k sa casa.

And offroading Ano ba yun? Bayad nga tayo ng bayad ng tax para sementuhin lahat dito , yan lang ang pinakikita ng pulitiko to show that taxes are working for you, tapos di mo pa gagsmitin. Imagine bile ka ng tig 2m na suv tapso sasabak mo sa putik , talo ka na carwash , pwde pa magka-dent at ma scrape off clear coat, and also sa mahal ng suspension parts ngaun para ka bumili ng smartphone tapos binato mo sa floor ang nangyari.

Ano ba napapala sa offroading. Kung gusto mo wilderness e di magkabayo ka. Nature? No machine can beat nature, spaceship nga pinaka hightech na sa lahat. Bumabagsak pa din

Yeah, I know the sentiments here, dami akong nakikitang ganyan, modified PPV but umiiwas sa lubak or they slow down, pero not me, but well unless kasama si misis that's when I slow down kasi baka mag reklamo. Every person has a reason naman why they bought PPV or SUV, yung iba na mention na ninyo here but yung ibang buyer have different reasons and not kasi bcoz of status symbol or nakiki-uso.

My preference is a performance sedan - it can seat 5, has a usable trunk, but still has the oomph to be quick and fast. A WRX or IS350 are the most affordable ones I could think of. However, our family needs are more met by a CUV. I am very much happy with our FXT.

Different tools for different jobs for different needs and different occassions.


As much as i love my SUVs and CUVs id hate to drive them exclusively for the rest of my life.

Amen to that. As good as some CUVs and SUVs are in drivers’ experience, they will never be as good to drive as a sports sedan or coupe.
