2012 Montero upgrades!!!

[Fayarice]

sir, so it just confirms na inuubos na nila existing models?

[incisor]

Sa Strada sir inuubos na nila o ubos na talaga kasi parang white na lang natira e wala na iba choice

official launch daw ng 2012 Strada ayon sa SA ko is end of August. Di ko lang sure kung sabay sa Monty.

Pero malamang accessories lang daw nadagdag.

[Fayarice]

Sabi ng SA ko, wala na daw dumadating na Monty, inuubos na daw. Sana nga sabay na

My SA meanwhile told me that the launch of the 2012 Monty is 1st week of september. Anyway, leather seats na rin daw ang 4x2 aside from paddle shifters, 5AT, HID, ceiling aircon,

New member and new GLS-V owner here. Nakuha ko lang last Aug 4...Ayoko naman sana maging olats pero the yesterday nung nabasa ko ung thread na to..hinde ako nakatulog..If this is true the ouch!

I would have lived with no paddle shifters kc mas masaya pa rin nka hawak sa kambyo then push and pull. Pero kung leather seats and kung tutoo na may M/T 4x2 na VGT sa GLX or 5 A/T na ung GLS-V then big loss tlga...Inofferan pa ako ng SA to get a leather seats for 40k pero I declined.

As far as the AC is concerned, no probs naman with the 2nd row since na compensate ng 3rd row AC ung loob.

Is this a new gen na completely new look or interior upgrades lang?

[Fayarice]

Sir, nothing is official as of yet. But the sales agents are one in saying that there will be a minor update. Nothing fancy. Anyway you bought a montero and it's brand new, enjoy your ride! Buy ka na Lang leather seat cover, 8k Lang.

[incisor]

at sir, malabo na magka M/T, sabi ng SA ko malamang matagal pa yung M/T version.

agree!

at the end of the day, kung maligaya ka sa unit mo, then okay na yan. there will always be something new. (although nakikita ko din ang point na nakakapanghinayang na parang napunta sa iyo ang mga last sa inventory ng lumang batch)

para sa akin (i got my gls-v last july lang), ang malaking kawalan is yung 5-speed A/T. mukhang mas matipid ang 5-A/T kesa sa 4-A/T e (closer spaced gear ratios). about sa location ng a/c, toss up ako. baka mas madali ang maintenance and cleaning ng rear a/c kapag nasa may 3rd row seats. hindi kalakihan ng interior ang kelangan baklasin para malinis ang rear a/c.

[CaptainMorgan]

Thanks mga Sirs..though agree nga kung mgkaka 5-A/T kc mahirap un habulin unlike sa leather seats...

nka mirienda ko SA ko knina kasi kinuha ko ung extensions ng 7days kuno. According to him..sure daw meron lalabas pero Oct - Nov at tlgang minor lang sa GLS-V(i.e. lipat ung 3rd row Aircon to the 2nd and paddle shifters and tataas din ung presyo). Dun daw sha sure pero sa mga M/T versions wala rin sha alam..but like everyone said nothing is official.

[Fayarice]

It seems the new models will have a Led Lit side turning lights.

[renzo_d10]

I have a feeling that it will just be a minor change, not a complete facelift nor a complete upgrade.

Boys, wag kayo magsisi kung kumuha na kayo ng GLS-V at GTV ngayon tapos biglang lumabas ang 2012 MMC. Be contented with what you have right now. Car makers constantly improved on their vehicles every year. Just enjoy your current Monty right now.

P.S.
Ito ang natsismis sa akin ng SA ko nung Thursday, drum-in-disc rear brakes na raw GLS-V, at baka gawing VGT na rin mga M/T ng both Montero Sport at Strada within the year.

If ever, yan ang magandang gawin nila, VGT na din yung TOTL M/T ng MS at Strada.

suggested upgrades for montero.

1. horn... mahina stock na busina ng montero based na din sa dami ng nagpakabit ng horm sa tsikotshop, usually bosch europa ipinalit nila dito
2. dami din nagpapalit sa stock speakers , a good front and rear speakers and amplifier ok na ok na
3. if you are planning to put headrest monitor sa monty, may special wire na exclusive lang sa casa around P4,000 yata ito, without that di maikakabit mga aftermarket na headrest monitor.
4. car security system, dami na din po nagpaupgrade sa tsikot shop ng car security, TsikotPKE (passive keyless entry) nagdisable na lang ng stock alarm.
5. Engine Push Start/Stop , nakapaglagay na din po kami nito sa monty, you can use the smart key from TsikotPKE as an additional immobilizer, di pwede mastart sasakyan using push start kung wala yung smartkey sa driver
6. RaceChip Pro , to increase HP and torque.

sir, interested in ur racechip pro. how much is it? and have u confirm the hp increase via dyno? is this easy to install?
i got ur text reply na.

5speed AT! My SA just made a fearless forecast

[arkuo14]

my guess? if mitsubishi plays their cards right, they can even make an all-new fortuner look bad.

I'm guessing a couple more models down the road, the 3.2 D-iD engine makes a comeback, this time with the VGT. That's good enough for 200+ hp and 450+ torque if I'm not mistaken. Add in the 5 speed tranny, and some ralliart goodies, then it's all set. It's pretty much about brand positioning right now. With those numbers, the new monty can pull a boat with ease.

At this point, we'll be begging for more roads to be built.

[Fayarice]

sir, i think you read Mitsu correctly. hehe

[tanskiee]

confirm po ba ito? kung tunay po, hindi muna ako bibili ngayun. kapag may lumabas na lang na bago.

The only thing missing with the MS and the Strada is the MASTC or Mitsubishi Active Stability/Traction Control. Hope this safety feature will be included in the Philippine models. The Pajero has it as standard safety feature. The ASX has it in their 4X4 model. The Australian Challenger & Triton are equipped with it. Not sure if the new Fortuner for the Philippines has the VSC vehicle stability control but their Thai website indicates it is VSC equipped. This is a challenge for MMPC and other brands that market SUVs and pickups in our country.

MASTC is a much needed feature especially if you take long drives across the country. Our highways are much of winding than straight. Cruise control is not much of use. Please check this link showing empirical evidence why MATSC, VSC. ESP. etc are crucial to vehicle driving safety.

Im a big mitsubishi fan here but I may opt for the new 200hp Ford Ranger/Everest if ESP equipped over the Strada/MS without MASTC.
