Why do people hate it when their car model is used as taxi

[ozcity]

gawin nating taxi yung honda...madami din mag iinarte..

[nicolodeon]

I don't. I have no problem if the model of my ride comes also as a taxi cab.

I've been to Germany and Austria. They have cabs that are either Mercs or Bimmers. It's no no big deal for the Deutchelanders. In Japan, Toyota Crowns are cabs. In Japan, Pajeros are being used as field implements. I also saw a few CRVs that function as utes for NTT contractors. I even saw an HRV being used as a newspaper delivery van. The Japanese don't care either. If any of you would go to Cambodia, you might be surprised that, while there are only a "few" cabs there compared to Manila, some of their cabs are 4-5 year old Camrys. If you go to London, they have cabs that would already be luxury cars here.

It's just Pinoys are...finickey with their cars. For most Pinoy males, their car is an...extension of their manhood, machismo, and whatever one might call it. Let me tell you a true story:

There's this kid I used to work with sometime in the '90s. He bought himself a Nissan Sentra SuperSaloon. One day, he came in pissed. I asked him what's wrong with him. He said that he wanted to sell his car. I asked him why would he do that. His car was only six months old. His reason: he saw a man driving the same car model, but his problem was that it was a cab. So I asked him, "what's wrong with that?". His answer was something like this: "Boss, ayaw ko na. Nagmumukha akong cheap, yung car ko pala eh ginagawang taxi. Nakaka-degrade".

Poor kid. Why "poor"? Go figure.

assuming na fully paid naman ang honda, malamang hindi na pwedeng bawiin ng honda phils yun, so why not diba?

hahahaha...sana may magtry niyan. the worst that could happen is hindi tatanggapin ng casa yung car for repairs, but then again, marami rin namang pwede gumawa nun. :lol:

[gearspeed]

Paano naman yung mga sasakyan na pinapalabas na luxury vehicle dito na hindi naman sa ibang bansa. Dami nating naloloko dito sa pinas. Gaya nalang yang LandRover Defender 110. Barebones sha compared to other SUV's dito. Sa ibang bansa parang elf na truck nila o ordinaryong pang hakot ng anu-ano lang ang sasakyan na to. Overpriced sha dito sa atin (3.2 million), eh sa ibang bansa gaya ng Australia, mas mahal pa ata ang Patrol kaysa sa Defender. Pangarap ko ang Defender, pinanaginipan ko lagi, kaya lang dapat nilang "i-justify" yung price tag na 3.2.

sa cagayan de oro super dami ng mga altis na taxi........, its the way most filipinos think that make me sick.....

[jepoy]

pinoy mentality... puro hangin ang laman ng utak... tsk tsk tsk.

[Babnoy]

Post nga kayo ng Photoshopped Pics ng LAMBO or FERRARI na ginawang R&E Taxi para naman ma-imadyin natin kung ano hitsura.

[Alanstatic]

gawin nating taxi yung honda...madami din mag iinarte..

Year 2000, yung R&E bumibili ng 50 units ng honda city ,cash pero hindi pinagbigyan.
may Honda taxi na sana tayo noon..

Pag ang Honda ginawang taxi, lalabas ang mga weakness niyan! mabibisto yung issue ng reliability ng Honda cars.
3 times na ako nakakita ng accident ng honda na nahati sa gitna. 1x sa NLEX 2x sa KL malaysia.

[WeaponX]

Dito lang talaga sa Pinas. Yung nasakyan kong taxi sa Taiwan, Cefiro. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko, mas mahal pa to sa Civic ko pero ginawang taxi.

Discussions din naming magbabarkada yung concern na ito.
Sabi nung isa kong friend, matibay daw chassis ng Toyota kaya subok na pangtaxi.

Yung isa naman, yung sa Honda e prestige daw kaya hindi ginagawang taxi.

Sagot naman ng iba, kaya di pwedeng gawing taxi e mahina ang mga piyesa at di pwedeng babaran sa byahe. Mahal din daw piyesa.

Buti di kami nag-aaway, Honda vs. Toyota pa naman ang pinaka-topic. he he he

Yung iba, kahit modelo kotse, ginagawang taxi para pangdagdag pambayad sa monthly amortization. Common sa Pinas di ba?

Well, onli in da Philippines...

Di siguro mahina ang pyesa ng Honda. Mas appropriate pa siguro ang expensive parts. Too costly since most of taxis would run almost 16 hours a day to maximize a unit.

funny nga eh.. ayaw ng iba na ma-associate sa taxi ang mga rides nila. pero take note, kung magha-hail ng cab yan ang hahanapin ung mgagandang models din.

Car Owner: Sana wag gawin taxi yung car ko
Cab rider: Sana makasakay ako ng bagong taxi

yung mga high end models na minention niyo sa ibang bansa ... iba rin yung rate nila kesa sa ordinary taxis ...

We should do that ... dapat siguro may dedicated models lang na pwede gawin taxi .. para standard .. hindi yung lahat nalang na model ilabas eh ... pwede gawin taxi nung owner .. tapos may mga high end models na luxury taxi na mas mahal, of course ...

[BlueGirl]

dadi ko ayaw niya kasi daw nawawala ang class ng sasakyan...personal opinion lang niya yan ah...baka lang may umaway sakin eh...

uy, very good buying opportunity ;)

[quiksie]

kung ayaw niyo gawin taxi sasakyan niyo better buy a 2 door, a luxury sedan or suv's dito sa pinas

[Bud_wiser]

let's face it, a lot of pinoys are vain and stupid. Bad combination...

[Tacoma_34]

di pwede ang Honda maging taxi, gaya ng ESi model stock wala kasing power ang makina. Pag lima kami lahat sa loob nahihirapan, ewan ko lang ibang model.

[nugundam93]

tacoma: :lol:

grabe lang talaga mag-inarte mga pinoy.
