It will be sold in the US as a Suzuki. Another one of GM's nameplates.

snob ba? magaganda yung mga sales rep diyan a! chinika ko nga sila e!!! hehehe

[Jimbob]

mazdamazda, pre, sabihin mo kung sino ang nag-snob sa iyo, hahalikan ko sa harap mo!!!, kung di ka pa bumili, consider mo ulit, sobrang mura na ang forester ngayon.

april_ryan, so far outstanding ang reviews sa optra, wala pa naman kaming problems na na-encounter, mahina lang ang market response dahil matindi talaga competition sa 1.6l segment.

caloyski5, matinik ka din pala, sino sa kanila?

[April_Ryan]

jimbob,

dang of gm-shaw was very accomodating when we went to check out the optra and also during the test drive. even informed me about the new price drop by text. i appreciate her efforts

planning to buy a car by the end of the year or early next year. the optra is on my shortlist - together with the lynx and the altis. the optra's low price (a/t is at 675k, lynx a/t is at 700k and the altis 1.6e a/t is at 742k) is really tempting.

April,
tip lang buy your car next year na, para 2004 sa registration.

medyo OT: considering i'm still confused, looks like late this year or early next year nga. ano ba ang benefit kung 2004?

re Optra, dumadami ang nakikita ko (i've seen about 6 on the road, at various times). basta ako, gusto ko black.

[OTEP]

It will have better resale. When I got my Besta in December of '98, I only had it registered around February the next year. So when it came time to sell it in '01, it had better value than '98 Besta's because on paper it was a '99 model. :D

[mbt]

on the flip side, i think mas generous magdiscount ang dealer toward the end of the year

[April_Ryan]

hey,

any chevy optra owners lurking here? reviews please

kimpoy, otep and mbt,

thanks for the info. but now i'm confused not just about what car to buy, but also when to buy it. hahahaha.

[Jimbob]

april_ryan, ok si dang, talagang i-eexplain niya sa iyo even the smallest details, friend ko yan. ganda nga yung black, pero you ought to see the red one, super!!!

[April_Ryan]

jimbob,

haven't seen the red optra yet. silver, gold, blue and black lang. didn't even know red was available.

[El Duderino]

Meron na ba available units? May waiting period pa ba? Gaano katagal?

[Jimbob]

ngayon lang po lumabas yung red, max of 3 days waiting time.
