hinde ko talaga maintindihan kung pano mag-compute ang mga car dealerships or the entire car industry in general.

now that there are 6 PPVs , 2 Diesel Crossovers (CRV / SF) in the market,

that's 8 competing overpriced SUVs. before that circa 2015, it was only the Fort vs the Montero vs the Santa Fe ang naglalaban sa 1.5M range

now it's in the 1.8M range tapos mas madami pa ngaun. the magic price is always and has always been the 1.5M range. kaya lang theres so much greed eh kaya hayan bagsak sales month after month. dealers should have abosrbed the train law tax.

kitang kita sa Pickup computation ng TRAIN law na talagang binanatan ang presyo ng PPV and Diesel crossovers. look at the raptor at 1.9M since it's excused from TRAIN tax. those are performance parts na installed and yet 1.898M ang intro price.

langaw na din PPV. if that's the case, then malamang na downward na demand for PPVs
I wonder if the law of supply and demand will gain traction here... Especially with oil > $80k per barrel... And gasoline prices nearing ₱60 per liter.

And if yes, when it will kick in.... Cash is King!
