Hey I heard before that Honda Phil. used the "contract" thing to hit 2 birds w/ one stone. It's a simple marketing strategy actually.. thru this kasi they can hide their known suspension quality weakness and at the same time make consumers feel pampered and exclusive because of their car not being a Taxi and all.

The civic being a taxi is no big deal actually, but for us pinoys that has fallen to the marketing strategy that honda phil. did e are kinda shocked in a way. And oh this fact.. or fiction came from a Honda officer locally. ;)
