Then the government should first stop the importation of used cars including trucks. Paktay negosyo.

The'yre dreaming.

Phase out ten year old cars? That would have worked thirty years ago, when ten year old cars were rustbuckets with carburetors, no ABS and a penchant for killing their owners... but today's ten year olds are barely broken in at 100,000 kilometers. All ten year old gasoline cars by the Japanese, Americans and Koreans are EFI, which means they pollute very little and save their owners lots of money in terms of gasoline.

Why don't they just implement congestion charges in the Metro and be done with it?

pwede naman nila gayahin yung sa aussie yata na for an "x" old car you are required to get a pink slip or something. yung tipong papacheck mo muna yung vehicle mo during registration sa isang authorized mechanic. parang yung MOT yata sa UK. pero syempre daddag kurakot na naman yan just like the emission testing.

or yung ginawa or gagawin pa lang yata sa isang city sa London na you are required to install something sa kotse mo if your car is "X" old. tipong yung engine ang pinagbabasihan nila. pag wala ka nung gadget na yun multa ka malaki pag nahuli ka sa city.

maganda naman kasi logic, usually new engines(newer emission) ang pede sa mga city while yung mga lumang engines ang preferred sa provinces coz easy to maintain at ang pollution e medyo tolerable.

madedecongest mo pa metro manila dahil yung mga business that required old engine e lalabas na ng metro manila. baka pati yung mga squatter na de kotse e aalis na rin heheheh

At least mas magagamit yung Vios at mas mapapadalas ang pa-service mo... Pinuntahan mo na ba yung Toyota Global City? :D

Before hitting old cars, get our public transpo infrastructure in place first, then remove old, dilapidated PUVs. Then start increasing ownership registration costs for old cars.

Niky has a good point though. Ten year old cars today (2002 models) are already generally much improved as against cars a generation before it (early 1990s).
