Starex gold premium or new Honda odyssey

[foresterx]

On a side note, why is the Toyota Alphard so expensive?

yon nga eh, it's such a nice van pa naman din but for the price you could get 2 starex or an odyssey and a cr-z. parang gusto nilang ibenta sa mayayaman lang. yon sinabi ko sa sister ko na kunin pero sabi niya to expensive for a van.

I too like the Alphard. But it's way too expensive for me. Can't afford.

Tapos, sasabitan lang ng kariton, motor o bike; at tatamaan lang ng pinto ng katabing sasakyan sa parking, nang walang kalaban-laban.... Hayyyyzzzzz....

I drool everytime I see one, especially the very aggressive front fascia of the latest model.

it has a factor of "work of art from japan" plus higher import tax as well. talangka nga magisip ang gobyerno natin sa import tax na dapat suportahan nila ang environmental car gaya ng alphard.

Toyota Alphard is exempt from import tax if it comes from Japan. Wondering why they didn't use the 3.5 liter engine for the Odyssey so it will be exempt from import tax also. There's a 190 HP 2.4 liter engine version for the JDM Honda Odyssey.

nope. just confirmed to me the manager of TAS. where did you get that info??? Thanks in advance

The JPEPA exempts cars with engines bigger than 3 liters from some tariffs. This is the reason why an FJ cruiser with its huge 4.0 V6 is cheaper than a Rav4 2.5 4x4: http://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-i...-of-jpepa.html

went to honda bgc today and wow ganda ng odyssey. downside lang medjo maliit compared to the starex, di mo ma maximize yung captain seats sa gitna if may uupo sa 3rd row. pero everything else is amazing pati makina sobra tahimik di ko nga akalain na naka start na pala kung di sinabi nung sa na kausap ko. time to check if pwede na pa recar sa company ko total yung hiace na inissue sa akin 6 years na din naman.

To me Toyota seems to be cashing in on their name. If you compare cars in the same segment the Toyota is almost always more expensive (specially the TOTL variants) just because it's a Toyota. Can't say it's undeserved but they are certainly maximizing profits with their pricing.

The new Odyssey is the JDM version I think. That's why it's smaller than the older Odyssey which is closer to the Town and Country, Sienna etc in size. The width is comparable to compact cars. It has the 2.4L engine.

Also saw the Odyssey at Honda Rizal. It's nice. If I had the money, I'd buy it now.

Hi,

I googled and I found out that you just bought the Odyssey so I joined to ask about. My wife and I are looking for the same car but no news on availability from our sales executive(Honda Alabang).

If you don't mind,may I know where you got your from and can you share the price and freebies?

If it's not convenient to post, please PM.

Thanks

*foresterx: Score! The Ody might not have the space of other vans, but that middle row is impressive. ;)

As far as I know, there is no V6 JDM Ody.

got it at honda bgc. no cash discount and freebies are the usual tint, matting, lto, window visor, door garnish and some other stuff i forgot will check the quotation when i get home.

if you're going to get one i suggest get one asap, units are being sold fast and current price is just introductory price only and will get 50k increase by next month.

true, it's so much better compared to the other vans currently available in the same price league.

didn't get the chance to test drive it, just played with the paddles shifters when they started it in the showroom.
