    If the Hilux G is too pricey, the Hilux E is a great alternative at 1.030M. It's very bare in stock form, but if you add 20" rims, a rear bumper, and step boards, you still won't reach 1.1M so it'll still be cheaper than any other pickup. It still has the same 2.4 engine, Bluetooth, steering wheel audio controls, ABS, and so on. I even like its Kenwood HU better than the AVT HU on the G.

    That would be my best choice too. Customize and upgrade as long as it has the same engine and transmission.. why do I feel that there's a Navarra and Strada update coming before the year ends.. hmm

    Nothing happens, you still have to register your car the same way. Only change is manufacturers will no longer sell euro2 compliant vehicles.

    Euro 2 vs Euro 4 isn't a deal breaker. Get the Dmax if it's what you like more.😊

    it simply means, all brand new vehicles to be sold henceforth, shall be euro 4 engined. we won't find euro 2 vehicles in the casa showrooms.
    but those already running on the streets, will still be allowed to do so.
    if your wildest imagination is that there will be a squad of judge dredds roaming the streets, looking for euro 2 vehicles ... that ain't gonna happen, po.
    heh heh.

    Euro4 engine is already mandatory, but our weak government is busy with illegal drugs. Next to the priority would be illegal gambling, then a lot more important issue that anything about environment would be in the bottom of the list. Our president's ride is an Isuzu Dmax and i bet he doesn't care with Euro emission even if the polar caps melt or global warming brings more typhoon in this country.

    All new vehicles to be used or introduced into the Philippine market by January 2016 shall be equipped with Euro 4/IV engine and compliant with Euro4/IV limits/emission standards. By then, EMB shall issue Certificate of Conformity (COC) for such vehicles only.

    Hi everyone. I'm choosing between the two pick-ups too. To the OP, which pick-up did you go with? Will Nissan have an updated Navara for 2017? Thanks!

    Sorry for the super late reply. The last PMS we had with Isuzu was the 20k. Yung bill was also P20k. In last year alone, it costs us a little more than 35k just for PMS on the DMax. More than double the PMS cost of my CRV.

For a price tag of 1.2M, is the 2017 DMax 4x2 AT a good buy? Or should I get the Navarra Calibre 4x2 AT price at 1.096M?
