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:

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.

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.
