    First of all Happy New Year! I kinda reminded about this topic during our recent celebration of the "Three Kings" this holiday season. So, here it guy's one of the most highly debated topic among auto heads worldwide.

    Which of the ff. BIG 3 Automobile Manufacturers would you choose and why?

    A.) The Big Three European Car Makers
    Volkswagen, Daimler AG and Renault

    B.) The Big Three American Car Makers
    General Motors, Ford and Chrysler

    C.) The Big Three Japanese Car Makers
    Toyota, Nissan and Honda

    As a customer or as an investor? I tend to think of the poll in terms of investment since you're listing company groups instead of brands.

    Yung Japanese, marami at mura ang sasakyan+parts kung icocompare sa tatlo "dito sa Pinas". Also, reliability is high. Pero, halos pare-pareho lang paglabas mo sa kalsada(except yung sa mga imported kasama na yung Subic cars).

    Kung European(CBU from Europe) and American(CBU from US), may sense of "class" and "cut above the rest" among the cars on the street. At siguradong kakaunti lang kayong meron. European cars especially German cars, reliability is a notch higher so is the price. American cars' reliability is suspect and also their FC(Americans love big gasoline engines di man lang marunong magtipid).

    Kung point A to B lang at gusto ko may reliability yung car, sa Japanese ako. Kung may pera naman ako sa European o American (pero leaning towards sa Euro kasi nga sa reliability ng American cars). So, it depends kung magkano ang pera ko.

    I guess pareng dhel used the comparison among the BIG 3s coz its really whats happening esp. in other well developed countries, the competition is among the 3 giants vs. fellow 3 giants.

    In this, I would choose the Japs and then the Euros...

    Dude, one of our favorite good ol' Jap brand Mitsu is not included in the so called Big 3 Japanese Automakers. I believe Mitsu would be the 4th Jap big boy though..

    Actually, these Big 3 Euro, Am, and Jap auto brands are based on on their iron grip on the always competitive automotive wallstreet industry in terms of market share WORLDWIDE.

    From my buying history......

    Pontiac
    Nissan
    Plymouth
    Ford
    Dodge
    Hyundai

    4 out of 6 are US makes. I have no qualms about buying US makes in US soil. Overseas? Maybe not. Here? Definitely. If we do head for a recession, my next vehicle will definitely be a US make. All my objectivity go out the window in times of hardship.

    For now though.....We're still thinking of buying either a Toyota or Honda minivan.

    If I had the money, I'll go with the cars available in the European theatre.

    It takes too long for the new models, as well as new technologies, to arrive in our country.

    based from experience, pagdating sa customer service experience and product quality Toyota/Lexus ako. pagdating sa ease of maintenance/repairs Ford/GM ako. fyi: i've had the worst customer service experiences with Ford's service dept.

    Ummm let's see... I guess the first choice would be the Japs bec. of Toyota... Nissan... and Honda! All are great brands which had served our family locally and internationally (relatives in other parts of the globe).
    Next, would be the euros bec. of volkwagen and lastly, the american brands.

    Here's the current situation in terms of Market Share Worldwide...
