based on the 2006 Civic threads here in tsikot and in motioncars, it will be the JDM Civic. I read somewhere also that the JDM Civic will be introduced here. Toyota Prius for the Phils? Probably. Pag nakita nila na successful yung CIvic hybrid.

Honestly no, hybrids are expensive no matter how much gas you save. period. There's the question of the reliability of the battery. Once that battery is busted, what will one do then?

A better alternative to hybrid are cars that burn fuel more efficiently such as gasoline compacts like Honda Jazz and City or Diesel CRDi compacts such as the Hyundai Getz and Matrix.

I think i'd rather spent my money on Suzuki Swift and new Toyota Yaris than buying a hybrid car.Ang peste dyan ay yung electric motor at battery,ewan ko kung maayos yan ng dealers.

[carlocaraddict]

hmmmmm...they have to know how to fix these cars. Pero siyempre, may trained techs naman for that. Ang masama dyan, you cannot bring your hybrid car to your trusted neighborhood mechanic, sa casa lang. Mahal magmaintain ng hybrid.

natawa ako sa poll "Lumina, ano yan?!" :lol: bwhaahahahahaha

[carlocaraddict]

ako lang pala ang unang una bumoto hahahahhaha! Ayos yung poll ha

[AG4]

No Cefiro in the poll...
Nissan, time to bring the Teana!

About the Hybrids..
I think its they are just too expensive...

By the way, the ASEAN Yaris 1.5 was just launched in Thailand, I'd rather have that over the Camry-priced Prius.

[carlocaraddict]

No Cefiro?

hahahah onga no

[FPJ]

RAV4 ako...sana merong RAV4 na AUV like CRV!

[aceshark]

pero marami na ads ngaun ng prius sa maga local broadsheets and mags natin... parang nadinig ko nga na BAKA ilabas dito prius...

[empy]

it's not a stable technology yet. the hybrids here in the states are still going through their growing pains and are still not very reliable.

[nugundam93]

teka.

maiba lang sandali. eljo, don't they teach netiquette sa computer sa quesci?

[ghosthunter]

If a was going for a hybrid, I'd go for a Cefiro-hybrid or Lancer EVO-hybrid. :D

[carlocaraddict]

[number001]

good morning po ... slightly off topic. excited po ako about upcoming vehicles coming in to our shores in 2006. do you have the list of "80% confirmed" na dadating dito?

compact/hatch

sedan

AUV/SUV

salamat :-)

[Steeljack]

Civic Hybrid, if they lower the price

[ghosthunter]

hybrid technology applied to standard FWD cars is a cheaper & more practical approach to turning a FWD car to a AWD vehicle.

sir, if have the money, i would not put my money on a civic 2.0 DOHC A/T. pero kung maglalagay pa rin ang Honda ng top-of-the-line na variant with M/T variant, well i might consider it....
