AUVs are given tax breaks. Plain and simple. Buying an AUV doesnt mean you're a poor bloke. I have friends who can afford to live in Baranggay Ayala Alabang yet drive Revos. and besides, when was the last time an AUV cost nearly 1M?

AFAIK, the latest definition of the AUV is that it could seat 10 people. THis is unlike the original definition of the AUV na filipino designed.... even if only in part. Remember the Tamaraw, the Cimarron and the Fiera?
yep... even the SUVs resorted to making the 3rd row bench similar to AUVs 2 row parallel benches so as to avail of the 10 seater tax break.

The question indeed opened a can of worms hehe... sa susunod na tanong "What is an SUV?" ...magkakagulo nanaman yan hehe... and the car based Minis like mine gets lost in the classification hehe...

Basta sa akin lang kahit anong classification yan basta may sasakyan nagagamit and it serves it's purpose. Yun lang.


hmmm....crv for the low end market ba? swerte naman ng "low end market"... they get a 2.0L engine that beats the competition... all the safety features comapred to it's "local" AUV counterparts.


Here's a food for thought:

"Many people bought the 2002 CR-V not because it can officially squeeze in 10 passengers but because it was priced below one million pesos and has Honda's i-VTEC engine, dual airbags and anti-lock braking system to boot. "

So what's an AUV? I don't care... hehe... labels are labels... only those who identify one's status symbol with how his particular car is labeled has got some issues hehe..

Want to feel a cut above the rest? Get a Cayenne, X5 or even a stretch Escalade with more than 10 passengers pa.
