December 3rd, 2019 09:11 AM #31Funny you should mention that because after reading this article (https://**************/market-news/p...xi-market-2721) I think I know why OP is conscious about the Starex used as a hearse.
"The reason is according to psychology, car purchasers don’t love to see the same vehicles like theirs bustling on the streets as a taxi all the time. The experience will be devastated."

Coincidentally funny, 2 days ago I saw an early model Lincoln Navigator in Tarlac being used as a hearse as well.
The size is certainly suited to the task. I can't see how that would take away anything from the image of the car as a luxury vehicle.

Trulily Doc. If many people are using that model for whatever purpose it serves them, then I would consider that a plus factor for that model/ brand. It just goes to show how popular it is.
Boo-hoo for certain people who think otherwise, ayaw masira image ng sasakyan nila? I think that's called -personal insecurity.

President of Honda cracks mystery of why HCPI never joins taxi market
Aug 27, 2018 | Same topic: Highlights of the week
Joining the taxi fleets may affect negatively to Honda drivers, explained the President.
Many wonder why Honda doesn’t try their hands at the taxi market in the Philippines. And the answer‘s been finally revealed after Noriyuki Takakura, General Manager as well as President of Honda Cars Philippines Inc. (HCPI), had a talk with reporters during the launch of the Honda HR-V 2018 on August 23.
According to HCPI President, resale value will be significantly dropping if they make a move into the taxi market
The President of HCPI straightforwardly explained it has never been its strategy for if Honda joined the world of taxis in the country, Honda drivers are the ones who may be disappointed. The reason is according to psychology, car purchasers don’t love to see the same vehicles like theirs bustling on the streets as a taxi all the time. The experience will be devastated.
He added the secondary drive for car makers to partake in taxi fleets is the profit. However, Honda see no perspective in joining them for if it does, it has to offer plenty of discounts to users, which the company has never encouraged to.
He takes the U.S for example, while Toyota’s likely to offer about $2000 discount to customers, Honda USA’s never exceeded $1000.
The President concluded by saying that the resale value will be significantly dropping if they make a move into the taxi market and no customers like to see that happens.
Due to its not-for-taxi-used clause, Honda is firm in its strategy. However, Honda vehicles still can be used for ride-sharing.
Is it a good strategy by Honda Cars Philippines Inc.? What do you think?
