A waiting list

BACKSEAT DRIVER By Cito Beltran (The Philippine Star) | Updated January 30, 2013 - 12:00am
I love it when a car distributor is honest.

With hardly any drama or build up, Albert Arcilla, President and Managing Director of The Covenant Cars Company Inc. (TCCCI) advised members of the media that there is an average waiting list of 50 orders per dealer for the 2013 Chevy Trailblazer. In spite of the waiting list, Arcilla reassured his audience that January deliveries have arrived and that Chevrolet has allocated and committed to supply the forecasted requirements of TCCCI for the 2013 Trailblazer for the first quarter of the year.

If the waiting list surprises you, it might help to know why. To begin with the 2013 models are powered with the 2.5 or 2.8-liter diesel engine, matched with a 5-speed manual 4x2 or a 6-speed automatic transmission 4x4, has all the advanced feature of luxury model SUVs such as Hill Climb or Hill Descent Assist, meaning you don’t have to worry about going up or down VERY steep grades that rattle many drivers.

The Trailblazer is also set up for riding comfort and stabilizer controls seen only in the luxury high-end models. In addition, the 2013 is no Hobbit or Halfling, it’s a big boy that can carry lots of toys as well as 7 adult passengers. Given all these features and more, what’s grabbing people’s attention is the competitive pricing of the Trailblazer. The 2.5 manual 4x2 is listed at P1,368,888 while the 2.8 6-speed Automatic is listed at 1,718.888. This is barely half the price of high-end models that starts at 3.6 million and up.

One of the reasons the 2013 Trailblazer has an average wait list of 50 orders per dealership may have something to do with who is ordering them. Just this morning I got an unsolicited query on Facebook from a friend who knows my addiction for cars. He wanted to know my opinion on the Trailblazer, particularly the performance of a manual transmission versus the automatic. He’s not a city slicker, lives in Batangas, but spends a lot time on the road and moves around with a lot of stuff.

He is typical of the emerging market of suburban-provincial vehicle buyers. They are the people who are behind our quiet countryside development. They have both savings and capital, and they study their options before they make their purchases. This growing market has slowly recognized the practicality of vehicles such as the Trailblazer, which combines the creature comforts that one finds in a car and the tough practicality of an all-terrain vehicle. Adding to this market shift are the women entrepreneurs who predominantly drive automatics and want the safety of a large vehicle and cargo space.

Slowly but surely, the market is beginning to adjust and mature. More and more people outside Metro Manila are going for SUVs while the city slickers are now recognizing the undeniable practicality and fuel efficiency of compact cars.

Ano ba stories niya if you can share it?

Ako rin I'm using V-Power Nitro+ Diesel for more than 1000 kms. No problems whatsoever. Malas lang ni Steveyemd yung Shell station kung saan siya nagpagas ng V-Power Nitro+ Diesel may halos tubig yung fuel pumps.

I posted it here, according to him que puro colorado lang daw ang pinarating ni chevy ang pagkakaalam ko wala naman pila ang colorado actually ang dami nila stock dun... soonest daw ang 2nd week of feb or last week ng feb pero hindi pa daw sure yun.

I'm already using Unioil Euro 4 compliant diesel fuel. Okay ang performance and you are helping the environment.

I remember nung ondoy nilusong ko yung strada ko abot hood yung water(walang snorkel)... wala naman any problems i did this 5-8 times... tapos 3 months after nagpakarga ako in a nearby petron station full tank after 3 days umilaw check engine ko. Dinala ko sa casa they said may tubig yung tank ko... so they drained the tank all in all it cost me 25k along with the maintenance narin hay.

================================================== ===============
ok umabot 185kph, malamang aangat pa 'yan pag mas may buwelo.....

napaisip nga ako nung sinabi sakin yun sir kasi alan ko mas better nga sana ang premium. well inisip ko nalang din yun good side na makakamura din ako since ok lang sa TrailB natin ang regular na fuel.

Don't use the regular diesel fuel of the Big 3 oil companies. Masisira in the long run ang common rail system ng TrailB mo. Pag jeepney and old school diesels ang regular diesel fuel ng Big 3. If you want a cheaper diesel fuel that won't damage the engine in the long run, use Unioil's EuroDieselIV. The premium diesel fuels of Petron and Shell and the regular diesel fuel of Unioil are the suitable diesel fuels for any modern diesel engines (common rail direct injection system)

[maeki]

sige sir salamat sa advice. problema lang dito sa probinsya kasi walang gaanong premium na diesel.

[numbah5]

Sa tuguegarao ba wala?

[maeki]

not sure eh *numbah5. dito kasi kami bandang norte pa ng cagayan.

Im not quite sure about the premium diesel, kasi the mitsubishi tech. dept they don't recommend premium diesel for Strada, also para akong may nadinig or nabasa na chevy would prefer regular than premium diesel oil. Im using regular (petron or shell) diesel & if matagal tagal na ang TrailB ko will introduce the same medicine Im doing to my strada , once in a while for every full tank of DO I will mix half liter kerosine.

Just use the premium diesels just to be sure. Those regular diesels of the Big 3 killed the SCV of my montero sport 2 months ago

On way to the office I saw a new black TrialB collided with a toyota van beside Wash sycip park in Makati (legazpi village) I hope no one here owns that TrailB.

Ingat guys!
