New strada worth waiting for?

[jaymd]

Ive been looking to purchase the strada gls sport 4x4 AT kaso maglalabas na ng facelifted model(montero front fascia?) with VGT 2.5L diesel with new infometer display and gps. Baka ito na last facelift ng model na ito since due na ang all new model maybe in 1-2 years time. Ano tingin nyo ? mukha i-phase out na yun 3.2L 4M41 and palitan na din ng high output 4D56 na 170 HP 400NM/Manual tranny 350NM/Auto tranny. May discounts/freebies din kasi sa current strada and baka malaki din itaas ng price ng new model

I guess the montero front fascia on the strada will only be available on some countries but not on the ASEAN region..
Here's a picture taken by an MSCP member onboard a vessel with strada's bound for brazil


.. I still like the strada face on a pick up truck compared to the montero face

Im not sure kung kailan lalabas yung all new ford ranger with a powerful diesel engine. I think nissan will also tune their navara with a more powerful engine this 2011

Madaming powerful diesel engines ang aabangan this 2011..

3.2-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi I5 diesel engine with a powerful 470 Nm of torque and power rated at 200 hp

Mitsubishi
2.5 liter VGT 4D56 engine with 170 hp and 400 Nm of torque for M/T and 170 hp and 350 Nm of torque for A/T
3.2 liter VGT 4M41 engine with 197 hp and 441 Nm of torque

Nissan
3.0 liter V6 turbo diesel with 240 hp and 550Nm of torque (hopefully for the diesel variant of the patrol royale)

When they release facelifted models, are the prices usually higher?

Thanks for the info! sana lumabas yan 4M41 na VGT. Usually facelifted models are priced a little higher especially kun may dinagdag na accessories and wala pa discount

It seems that there is a slew of new pickups coming soon! But looking at their engines, why does it seem that they still do not match Hyundai's ReVGT powerplants? And where is ISUZU? They have been very quiet for quite a while now. Their last fully, from-ground-up new model was the Alterra, which was launched more than five years ago... And the engines have remained the same...

Hello po! Im one of the anxious buyers patiently awaiting the arrival of the new strada. Booked our reservation last Feb pa. Nway, got a call from my SA this morning and he said that a quartz brown unit is ready for pull out from the plant late this week or til next week at the latest. Hopefully, marelease daw unit nmin next week. Unfortunately, yon mga freebies that he throw in last Feb like the free LTO registration wont be included na daw ksi nag labas daw memo last week na wla na additional freebies. Ask ko lang feedback ng mga VGT owners and prospective VGT owners kung anong freebies na avail nyo? Please advise. Thanks!
