    Talk of typhoon Quiel’s arrival wasn’t enough to dampen our spirits, especially given this weekend’s lineup. In the bright morning of October 2, 2011, six titans gathered at the All Terra Cyclery, Ortigas Home Depot in Pasig to battle for the 2011 - 2012 Car of the Year Philippines title.

    The morning’s sunny disposition wasn’t any indication of the day ahead. The weather had rain and shine come on and off, but it could not have been more apt.

    That's just one weekend of testing. We have eight testing schedules, some with five or six cars, some with eight or more.

    Yes, we test drive all the cars in the current COTY 2011-2012 line-up.

    Awards are given for over-all winner and winners for each vehicle category.
