    cyrus, I also questioned the inclusion of the Alterra in the full-size category... here's Kevin's response:

The Alterra may not be sophisticated but it does precisely what it was engineered to do, carry a large number of passengers in comfort with the durability to effectively handle our local roads in a more financially approachable acquisition price.
    As for your other queries... I think they are now excluding vehicles which will have a facelift/replacement by 2008. Anyway, I'll try to inquire (well you can also post your query over *there*) regarding that.

    Hi pup2, here's Kevin's answer:

To be a nominee in the C! awards, each vehicle must earn the privilege by merit on all fronts: performance, durability, design, fit & finish, audio quality, NVH rating, value, fuel efficiency, pride of ownership, warranty length and affectivity, projected long term value after 5 years, timeliness, and etc…

    The Honda Jazz and Civic have been C! winners in the past but they have been eclipsed by the current market roster.

    The new Jazz would certainly have been a contender if it got thoroughly tested by us by the end of February which is the cut-off for all brands. Honda can’t give us the car with our locked schedule.

    Thanks M2. Scheduling problems pala naging big factor din. Might I suggest though na they put an asterisk in the categories where schedule problems occur? Just so the public doesn't get misled.

    Hey, maybe you can ask why the WRX's 0-100 VBOX time is higher than the FXT's? It's been bugging me for a while now. Nagbabasa din ako niyang C eh.

    Nanalo pala CRV ah! So it's not true na zero ang Honda. Pero dapat siguro nagpalit ang Honda at Mitsu sa CUV at sa compact. I STILL don't trust Mitsu's aftersales (and I'm not sure the Lancer wouldn't have to be aligned every 2-3 months) on the Lancer, but the Outie's kit is apparently just too great a value. Not to mention yung CRV 2.4 na nanalo mas malakas pa sa gas kesa sa FXT ko without the corresponding power. Pero my opinion lang naman po yun.
