maganda yung parang scion nila.

diba 875k lang yung 1.6 na soul? tama ba?

1,075M Pesos ang tunay na presyo ng Kia Soul..Pre-selling lang naging 875K Pesos pero alam naman nating overpriced ang Kia cars sa Pinas no thanks sa bulok na strategy ng Columbian Motors.

Lang kwentang Columbian na yan... Absorb na dapat ng HARI ang Kia! Eh ngayon na wala na si Malib...er...Mabilog , ganun parin ba ang sales strategy nilang pampaalis ng customers?

835K Pesos lang ang Haval M2..Mas mura sya kasya sa Kia Soul na 1.6 Liter na nasa 1M Pesos!

Still, a china car is still a china car.

Korean cars > China cars.

But the Haval M2 doesn't look bad.

Okay naman ang quality ng GW Cars according narin sa mga taga Croatia..But still needs some improvement.

Nasa Italy na ang GW Cars..Haval H5 ang una nilang product nila dun.

newbie lng po sa thread n e2, may dealership n po b ng kingstar neptune d2 sa pilipinas? para siyang rebadge na toyota super grandia pero chinese made

If they had that car with automatic tranny..we would have seriously considered getting that car. Lots of room with that car, and a nice price to go with it. I haven't heard anything though about it by any owners.

Kahit ang ganda ng looks at price ng GW Cool Bear.

Wait and see muna siguro ako in my opinion, kasi look at Chery dati anlaki laki andaming dealerships mura ang products bumagsak na.

Pati ang Geely nag-pull out, naalala ko prize pa Wheel of Fortune ung Geely eh.

Dapat gayahin ng Chinese Car brands ang Hyundai, ambilis magpalit ng products kahit di masyado nabebenta ino-offer nila. Di katulad ng Chery naka-ilang years sila dito wala man lang New Model na inilabas since nag-launch sila dito sa Pinas. Baka gayahin ng Great Wall ang Chery mabulok ang units o worse ang Geely magpullout in the end.

Wag naman sana. Sana maging sing-succesful man lang ng Isuzu ang kahit isa man lang Chinese car brand dito sa Pinas. Ang Isuzu halos wala ng benta na SUVs worldwide panay trucks na lang. Yet kahit ganoon anlakas ng presence nila sa South East Asia.

Last year, 2010, nakabenta pa ng 10,695 units ang Isuzu with only (Crosswind, D-Max at Alterra as body styles) mas mataas pa Isuzu sa Ford and Mazda combined with sales of 9,751 or Nissan and UMC combined na 8,691 units. Kaya gayahin ng mga Chinese brands ang success ng Isuzu in my opinion, kung lagi lang updated yearly ang mga units kahit old body style pa rin mabebenta pa rin basta maporma at high-tech ang toys.

tingin ko inde matutulad ang great wall to the past china brands....kasi great wall has invested a lot of money for an assembly plant here....so it would probably turn out that the after sales support of this brand is really gonna be strong plus why do you think they are confident enough to offer 5 years warranty diba?(afaik 5 years ang warranty ng GW tama ba eggman?)

seems that they are using the hyundai blueprint, 5 years waaranty to prove reliability and durability of their cars, it would indeed be interesting to see how they would further improve on their current line-up. Isang maganda kotse lang yan, and they may get the trust of the public IMHO....

[locoroco777]

right on bro... sabi nga ni eggman yung hover daw nila is quite a performer in europe hehe....

Eggman...bili ka na kasi para matesting mo din tapos post ka ng review...

PLANNING stage pa lang ang planta dito ng GW. If sales do not pick up, the plant will not go through.

FYI, the first owners of CHERY Philippines also planned to put up an assembly plant before. But now they are gone.

I think the real cause of CHERY problem is internal as per story I heard from a reliable source.

Yes Hover is quite popular in Croatia, you can try google.

Yeah magulo kasi ang Iseway at local partners nila kaya naloko-loko tuloy ang Chery rito..Nagmadali sila masyado noon.

Yung Great Wall eh serious naman sila plans nila rito lalo na't nakipagpartner sila sa Francisco Motors para gumawa ng Wingle pickups dito sa Pinas.

Sa ngayon Great Wall,Chery at Geely lang ang matinong independent Chinese car companies sa China..Yung Chana,JAC,Brilliance,Lifan and BYD ay may build quality issues parin but magbabago din yang mga yan.

So far yung nakikita ko lang na successful na Chinese brands are Foton, Great Wall and JAC. Ang dami na ng JAC trucks sa kalsada ngayon! Pero yung iba nakikita ko laspag na kahit yung plaka Z-plate lang. May relative nga akong bumili ng JAC Princess FB (yung pinakamaliit nila na truck w/ 1.8L diesel) naattract dahil sa price at freebies ayun, laging nasisira, mahina ang aircon, mahina ang engine, at kumakalawang na... Foton seems to be more reliable since three government agencies (PCSO, MMDA and BJMP) have already bought huge volumes of different vehicles from them. Great Wall naman, I'm seeing a growing number of Coolbears, Cowry's and Hovers on the streets.

Are you sure about it? kasi I've read way before that they have already coordinated with the partner and DTI regarding the investment eh...they even had a MOA signing....


edit*: I saw a HAVAL M2 kanina eye catching talaga sya hehehe... its like a beefed up mini cooper...hehe...alright maybe i'm exaggerating a bit...but it really can make you take that 2nd look...

[germs]

haha planning stage daw eh nakapag assemble na ng units yung great wall

HAHAHA Talaga? Nasaan ang planta? Nasa utak mo?

Planning to build pa lang January 2011, February may planta na?

Great Wall Motor Co Ltd, plans to team up with Philippines-based Statemotor Corp to build an automobile plant, which will cost US$8.06 million, in the Philippines, said Cristino L. Panlilio, managing head of the Philippine Board of Investments or BOI. hktdc.com, Jan 2011

Just wanna share my experience with a Chery brand car. I don't know if this is the proper forum. But my review may help someone considering buying a chery car.

I spent 5 days last week driving a chery QQ. Only 3000+ km on the odometer. I was visiting cebu and a friend lent me this car to use around the city. It was apple green.

I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had with it. Being very small, apple green, and quite uncommon, I felt like I was distinguished from every other average car on the road. I don't know if this makes sense -- but it was also refreshing, I did not feel any pressure from other cars. "Yes, it's a chery, i know, but it's fun." I also found the transmission control unique and enjoyed the fact that you can just plug a USB storage device into the headunit and play mp3s right away.

In terms of performance, it is really slow and weak. It was almost unable to get up the ramp from the Ayala mall basement parking. I had to turn the a/c off and hold my breath (not sure if that helped). According to a friend riding with me, the girls in a 90s model Pajero behind us were laughing at us. Hehe Fun.

I can tell that reliability is also bad. It was still a pretty new car but it would already rattle like a poorly serviced 15 year old corolla.

Would I buy one? Maybe. As a toy.

puntahan mo yung dating planta ng franciso motors, then saka ka magsabi na walang planta ang great wall dito. :D haha

don't believe everything you read unless you can confirm it yourself :D haha
