September 17th, 2010 01:57 AM #12the reason why Hyundai is offering cheaper is bec. they have one labor country to produce it. unlike sa Japan, competing pa ang Mitsu, Toyota, Honda, Nissan internally.
it's almost as if the Japanese, the Germans and the American carmakers are up against one nationality when they compete against Hyundai-Kia.
kung yan China with the biggest laborforce nga lang will unite and come up with one powerful car brand, baka matalo nila ang buong mundo.

Very interesting article. Trust Vernon Sarne to have the stones to publish something like this!
I'd always thought HARI did it via the MotorImage trick (which is perfectly legal)... but I'm waiting to hear what the truth is...
Because, let's face it... looking at what Korean taxes do to the prices of Kia and Ssangyong cars, there are some Hyundai models that are ridiculously underpriced.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

September 17th, 2010 04:21 PM #14the hyundais are also cheaper than the japanese in the US Market. i doubt that they can do that "trick" in the US customs also. this is just a demo job article.
kaya nga ambilis ng Hyundai Sonata doon. the Japanese should face the music, matatalo talaga sila if they have so many brands competing internally to offer to the world market. kung minsan nga redundant na tignan.
if Hari can only take over the Kia brand here, they'd be more competitive. sa US ata, parang cooperating ang Hyundai-Kia that's why ambilis nila umakyat.

alam ko sa ibang bansa competitive din ang pricing ng Hyundai. naiisip ko, baka pinagtutulungan lang sila ng Toyota-Mitsu-Honda (lalo na Honda) hehe.

CBU importers told to emulate Hyundai
BY IRMA ISIP
The Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturers Association of the Philippines (MVPMAP) yesterday said importers of completely built-up (CBU) vehicles should emulate Hyundai Automotive Resources Inc. (HARI), distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the country, in finding a way to compete in a fair way.
In a statement, MVPMAP president Raffy Villarreal said Hyundai’s focus on finding and developing niche markets is the way to go for auto importers and distributors.
Villarreal said HARI, which imports and distributes most of its products, has moved up to third place in the local market, edging out some established Japanese assemblers.
"This is just a plain case of some local importers and distributors who are doing well and others who are not. Maybe, it would be good for the others to learn from the Hyundai experience," he said.
Hyundai is among the market leaders in the passenger van and SUV categories.
MVPMAP’s statement came in the wake of complaints by pure importers that the playing field, specifically under the proposed Motor Vehicle Development Program (MVDP), is uneven and unfair.
Villarreal said the playing fields should naturally be different for manufacturers/assemblers than for pure importers/distributors.
"Manufacturing and assembly is the more relevant field, that is (it faces more) competition among countries in a regional arena and not competition in the local market (alone)," Villarreal said.
He said government should focus on helping the auto and parts manufacturing sector and on completely shutting down the market for illegally-imported used cars.
"Manufacturers should focus on manufacturing then breaking into the export market," Villarreal said.
Latest sales figures from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. show that as of June, Hyundai is now the third bestselling brand with 9,834 units sold or a market share of 12.0 percent. It edged out car assemblers Honda Cars Philippines at fourth place and Isuzu Philippines at the fifth slot.
MVPMAP said the Philippine auto and parts manufacturing industry now lags behind Asean neighbors Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. The Philippines is at a very distant fourth with new-kid-on-the-block Vietnam fast catching up.
Even Australia with a population of only a fourth of the Philippines’ produces 500 percent more cars.
"There is a lot of catching up to do," Villarreal said.
Villarreal said there is a lot of idle capacity available.
For parts makers, the idle capacity is about 60 percent.
"The challenge now is to bring this idle plant capacity down to 40 percent or even lower," he said.
Villarreal said local auto and parts manufacturers have over 65,000 workers dependent on them.
Government, he said, should provide incentives, support and the right business environment for auto and parts manufacturers to be more competitive in the international arena.
"More jobs will then be generated and soon, more local products can be exported," Villarreal said.

There's this industry buzz that the reason why Hyundai's sales are on the up is due to the underdeclaration of CBU values with customs.
