    If I do this mods in an older model adventure, wouldn't it be better?
    Ang tanong ko lang, how can you SQUEEZE all these things you want for a price tag of only P837,000 ????? Try to analyze the economics behind the pricing strategy. Tapos gusto mo pang lagyan ng suspension like the Pajero. There is a marketing reason behind the "less than spectacular" specs.

    Clearly, this is a strip-down version of the Grand Sport targetting buyers whose budget falls within the P900,000 range. The good thing about this new Mitsu is that the "add-ons" are now optional. You can add a DVD system or back-up sensor later when you have the money if you want to. Unlike sa Fortuner na the "add-ons" are now mandatory.

    Asking for an Airbag and ABS for P837,000 ???? C'mon man, you can analyze much better than that?

    The Hyundai Matrix CRDi which retails for around P600K has both.

    And oh... the Hyundai with only a 1.5L engine has a better power output (thanks to a turbo & it being a CRDi) than the 2.5L Adventure.

    you can blame that to the excise tax scheme.
