August 24th, 2015 08:32 PM #11Brands that are considered tier2 cannot just be 'priced competitively' against the incumbents and expect to sell.
They have to be significantly cheaper AND offer a similar package. That is the value of the incumbent brand and that's how much cheaper the challengers need to price their offerings.
Example:
Back in 2010-2011, the Tucson 2.0GLS cost 1.15M and matched the cheapest CRV 2.0 AT's spec sheet (AFAIK the CRV was expensive because it came from Japan instead of Thailand), which cost 1.35M.
The Tucson sold like hotcakes and nilangaw yung mga CRV sa lot. In fact, nilangaw yung mga Japan CRV to the point wherein they had so much stock that these had to be offered at a discount to make way for the cheaper and better specced Thai made CRVs.
This was the time where Accents sold as much or sold more than the Vios, the Elantras sold more than the Civic FDs, and the Starexes sold more than the HiAces all due to their pricing.
Fast forward to 2015, the Tucson 2.0GLS costs 1.288M vs the CRV 2.0 AT's 1.368M. Even with the 80K discount, yung Tucson na yung nilalangaw ngayon.Last edited by mda; August 24th, 2015 at 08:55 PM.

Panget Almera on the inside for its price and nothing special kaya di cia mabili. the Juke when it gets shipped here is hopefully the latest iteration ng model and price sub1M nga. if so, I'd get this in a heartbeat over the ecosport. Unique look inside and out.

panget. wag na nila dalhin yan dito. it is a tie in-between the juke and the pontiac aztek as the ugliest modern cars ever.

E di wala pa ring worthy competition si Ecosport...
Tuloy pa rin ang ligaya ni Ford....

That is similar to what I was telling our good friend, who is currently the GM of at least 3 dealers of Hyundai here in the south....
For as long as Hyundai keeps their pricing at level if not higher than the other brands,- I'd be buying Japanese, even considering American....
I can only speak for myself,- but I have no brand loyalty. Just what's out there with excellent value for money offering.
Our honeymoon with Hyundai is past its sweet spot, mainly because of their pricing strategy.

I might buy this kung single ako, I like the quirky design.
Pero sa ngayon mahirap na. Kia Soul design nga di nagustuhan ni misis, pano pa tong Juke.

Nissan's marketing years back is what caused all these bruhahaha with their sales and reputation lagging behind. It's not their models nor their technology. Nissan has a really good model lineup in countries with a more competitive auto market, like the US. Even Honda with Acura could not match up with the different models Nissan with Infiniti has to offer. Yulon failed miserably here in the Philippines and they brought down the Nissan brand name.
The Juke has various trims in the US and their TOTL model is the AWD version with a turbo-four engine rated at 180hp (not to mention the crazy Nismo models they cook up with twin turbo V6 rated at more than 500hp). I really don't see the Ecosport as anything sportier over the Juke or the Trax or the CX-3 or the HRV.
