Tucson vs RAV4

[Egan101]

Wala na pumapansin sa rav4

Pinakamatino yung 1st gen mid 1990s pa.

Di pansinin RAV4 kasi sa presyo nya you get much better packages with a Forester, CX5, or CRV. Even the Korean twins (Sportage & Tucson) offer a bit more. Yung TOTL RAV4 is priced at 2M+ which is 200k+ more than the more capable Forester XT or CX5 AWD. I think the base trim RAV4 is a good bargain like the Xtrail FWD and CX5 Maxx but the stocks are so limited.

Same thing with the Escape Ecoboost. Despite its success in North America, it's a bleak story locally. FordPH had to offer the models at a sizable discount (up to 450k) just to clear the local inventory. However, that move ate up a portion of the local sales of the Focus Ecoboost as they were priced about the same already with the discount on the Escape.

Sa america may kasabihan once you go black, youll never go back.

Dito sa Pnas, once you go diesel, why buy a gas vehicle anymore,

I think the cars on the roads today are predominantly diesel with trucksm pickups, vans, auvs, ppvs.

Early in this decade, used diesel cars have higher resale value, now used crosswinds, adventures are in the 200k price, while vans and pickups are in the 400k-500k range. A previous gen everest has like 350k on the used market, and that's crdi.

For me, to venture into a gasoline car, lalo na yun malaki kaha is just throwing your hard earned money . How long do you save for a car. 5 years, 7 years. Then 3 years lang if you buy a gasoline big car, wala ng halaga pinag-ipunan mo.

In case you wonder, why make still make 'em? Civics, crvs, rav4, mazda3s etc. simple answer: it's for the American market. Gasoline is cheaper there than diesel.

Why do car manufacturers here still force to sell to us? Honestlym i dont know. The likes of Mazda, Subaru are like living in a different dimension. Wala yata market study eto mga to.

The rav4 having no stock means that Toyota is aware that it's not going to sell in quantity.

North America is a big market for auto manufacturers. If you can't sell there, you'll surely lose a big chunk of sales. A lot of market study is done in the US and Europe as they drive the automotive market.
