WTC and SMX combine for biggest MIAS ever

We visited WTC yesterday with my wife. I was very impressed with the Chinese cars, especially the GAC M8.

also saw the Santa Fe Calligraphy in person. ako lang siguro ang nagandahan sa car na ito dito sa tsikot. the interior is upscale and feels wide. the height seems just perfect for wifey, and the rear look is okay for me as well.

Dominant na talaga ang mga Chinese cars. Sa WTC there were still some Japanese and European and American brands such as Chevrolet, Subaru, Nissan, Suzuki and MG pero the bulk is Chinese. Sa SMX about 97% Chinese made were on display. Ang hassle lang dito si the long lines to the shuttles back and forth from SMX to WTC, although mas okay itong mag park sa MOA/SMX area and take the shuttle than waiting in queue for a long time just to get a parking spot across the WTC.

i haven't yet considered chinacars.
the occasional fly in the ointment that gets a lot of attention in the electronic media, and all that.
whether these flies are the truly rare event, or they are the de-rigor, i do not know.
so far kasi, the only good thing going for them are their price.

If you will be buying a chinese brand vehicle which brand will you choose? Isn't it that some chinese brand have a tie-up with European cars? I'm not that familiar

don't forget these cars are packed with unnecessary specs too... and some people have a real hard-on for that kinda stuff...

i do not know yet, what brands are worthy.

chinese companies may have bought certain well-known european brands,
but i do not know what else they purchased, i.e., did they also buy the quality control, the R&D, etc etc?

For instance I did watch a vlog from Geely Okavangco and the vlogger states that the suspension is good and the Geely representative says that the suspension came from a certain Lotus? because Geely tie-up with Lotus so it could be similar with other chinese car brand

there's an ancient tongue-in-cheek joke,
"if it don't leak oil, it's not an english car".

i-consider ko iyong simple na Dongfeng Nanobox, since same factory ng Dacia Sping na madaming benta sa Europe.

Iyon ay kung may proper parts support sa casa. Maintenance parts may stock kahit nasa main PH warehouse. Ibang parts may part number, price, qty. stock, at order info kahit nasa China na plant. Tapos may order system na tied sa delivery partner na weeks ang bilang hindi months.

i think that's one reason why folks might be wary of taking a dip into the china cars pool.
the aftersales support. parts as well as knowledgeable mekanikos.

i mean,
what with the relatively cheaper price of china cars, i wouldn't mind owning one, if it were fairly reliable naman, and had reliable parts supply and knowledgeable mechanics to service them.
