Vehicle Production Life Cycle

[albert_b]

ano mga life cycles ng cars sa Pinas? every 5 years naglalabas ng bago manufacturer?

[VtEC]

most often ganon nga.ford has its full model change every 4yrs and 2yrs for facelift.

it should be the same as for other markets around the world, right? i've been on tsikot for more than 5 years now, and it looks like you get new models at the same time that the US and Europe get theirs. the specs might be different, but the timing is usually the same.

unless ginagawa kayong dumping ground ng old discontinued inventory .....


....which is not necessarily a bad thing as long as magaganda ang discounts

[albert_b]

the reason i'm interested to know is para we have a sort of calendar when to expect a new model (or a re-freshed) look to come out.

this will help buyers din...

let me start



Mitsubishi Lancer

1973 - 1979 [ 6 years ] 1st generation lancer
1978 - 1983 [ 5 years ] 2nd generation lancer
1982 - 1982 [ 1 year ] 3rd generation lancer
1982 - 1987 [ 5 years ] 4th generation lancer
1988 - 1992 [ 5 years ] 5th generation lancer "singkit"
1991 - 1995 [ 5 years ] 6th generation lancer "itlog"
1995 - 2000 [ 6 years ] 7th generation lancer "pizza"
2000 - 2006 [ 6 years ] 8th generation lancer
2003 - 2007 [ 5 years ] 8th generation facelift <-- halos 7 years ang 8th gen
2007 - ? [ ? years ] 9th generation

? == 2011 [ 5 years] 9th generation

For big SUVs like LC, Patrol & Pajero, 8-10yrs ang cycle.

AFAIK sa Honda every 5 years with minor changes only, except possibly for the 2nd to the last model year. Ang mitsus namin dati nag-aaverage din ng 5 -- shorter kung di masyado popular yung model and longer if it IS popular.
