oo nga desert fox, basta remember this imagine a world without payrolling auto magazines, auto writers, auto awards etc.

mas ma-lessen ang marketing budget ng car companies, and therefore, mas makakapagbigay pa sila ng discount na malaki.

kaya dapat ang youtube ang gamitin kung naghahanap ng honest to goodness review, mas lalo na kung owner na.

Yeah... watch videos by owners who are going: "OMFG! THIS IS THE BEST CAR EVER!!!!" simply because they're chuffed to have a brand new car... :hysterical:

Top Gear Philippines has the connections, the clout and the money to do what they will. Hell... their webportal employs more people than we have in the entire bigbigcars site. They can basically say anything and get away with it.

Autoindustriya is industry people. Good industry people. They're usually honest with reviews.

Bigbigcars and Motioncars are another thing. We don't get advertising money from carmakers, so there's no big deal if we give a bad review. However... that still means we (at BBC... Motioncars has its ways, because it's recognized) don't get review vehicles from certain people. For some manufacturers, we ain't big enough to bother with. For others, we're a bit too "honest". Even so, when making an official review, I can't adopt the same tone I can when just B.S.ing around on the boards. I still have to be fair and objective.

Thank you brod. We appreciate your honesty. Sana nga what we read in the reviews are only honest to goodness. For me mas mainam nga na matutunan ang pros and cons ng auto na nagugustuhan dito sa tsikot forum kasi most of the time real experience pinag uusapan dito.

Magkano kaya binigay ng Columbian Autocar sa mga taga-PCAY para maluto ang boto?

Yung Tucson panalo daw sa Compact SUV. Pwede pa ako maniwala. Syempre marami nang owners at talagang madami kang makikita sa kalsada.

*desertfox: Saang country ka naka-base? Umuwi ka sa Pinas ngayon, bro?

Kasi kaunti talaga yung Sorento dito, I doubt kung marami na rin naka test para iboto nila yan. SF may laban pa.
____________

Nung PIMS, nilalangaw yung test drive booth ng Kia.

Sayang yung Sorento.. Kung meron lang extra time sana i-test drive ko yun. Kaso same feeling lang naman sa SF AFAIK..

Hindi nila bingyan ang Autofocus ng pera. Bumili sila ng maraming Top Gear atsaka Philippine Star tapos Panda ballpen na din... Sa mga petiks na sales agent, pinapasulat yung mga boto nila. Syempre vote straight Kia!

The Sorento is a good car. Pwede siyang manalo pero dahil wala naman sila masupply at tila kaunti lang ang meron nito, it is really dubious that it won.
