from the article:

So, would you buy a locally manufactured, P1.6-million "supercar" if it went on sale today?

those are not supercars

those are kit cars

P1.6M for a fiberglass kit car with 1990s-era Japan surplus engine or a brand new Toyota 86?

"We only plan to make 10 units; that way, the cars can retain their value," added Factor. "If we make more than that, the cars will lose their value because they won’t be unique anymore."

ooookaaay

guess those 10 units are already sold out even before going into production

[uls]

so don't buy mass produced supercars like gallardos and R8s and 911s coz they lose value quickly coz they're not unique hehe

1.6M? no thanks. ill take the 1.2, save 0.4M and buy the new mazda 3.

we should concentrate on making fuel efficient cars not 'supercars'

[red_one]

we should concentrate on making fuel efficient cars not 'supercars'

totally agree on this.

[uls]

if they're serious about building supercars they should focus on the important stuff -- chassis, suspension, drivetrain, engine

looks like the focus is on the skin

[confused shoes]

Naalala ko tuloy yung quote ng isang tsikoteer asking the CDR-King tindera kung kelan sila maglalabas ng car.

I will go with Miles, ibibili ko na lang ng Mazda 3 kung meron akong 1.6M.

What safety features you can get from a 1.6M supercar?

Why you good for nothing unnationalistic crabs!

I'll buy me a crz with that money.

[Mguy]

Can't wait for Jeremy Clarkson to drive one and say that its crap. But don't get me wrong. I would buy one for the right price. But 1.6M is not the right price.

[viper888]

I think its great that someone is trying to build a locally made sports car
But Id rather have an 86, Genesis or Crz than that

[jut703]

Of course a one-off model can't compete vs. mass-market sedans/sports cars from established automakers. Just imagine the economies of scale discrepancy.

Auto manufacturing has very steep barriers to entry so don't expect that a daring Filipino automaker can be competitive on the first try. This car is more of a beacon of hope than a viable commercial product.

I wonder though, if the Koreans slammed the first Daewoos, or if the Japanese maligned the first Datsuns.

4G63 at B16A engine? Baka ungusan lang ng totoong Evo at ng Type R yan? Have they considered the aerodynamics of that car? Tsaka tama nga, overpriced yun kotse. I rather buy an 86 over that car. Or kung trip ko yun ganyang engines, Evo 7-9 and the Civic Type R EK9 will do. Heck baka SIR will do na rin

And oh, supercar is not based on looks. Its on the performance. Looks of a supercar pero engine is only inline 4. Also hindi nila ni-disclosed ang power ng kotse.

Pero as a Pinoy, I hope that they can do more.

[uls]

yeah for that money you can buy a used evo or type r civic may sukli pa

Bumili kaya si rikki dee.......

^They should build right the first time. Unless that car deserve to be called a supercar, I will not buy it.

Kaya naman pero it will involve a lot of research and money. Gaya nga ng sabi, di basta basta ang supercar. Di yan yun tipong design ka ng body, salpak ng makina and all, then yun na, supercar na, which is the case ng nasa article. We all know na a lot of research and study ang ginawa ng mga manufacturers para sa isang legit supercar. Its not just the design, its the science in it. But then, this could be the start of more things to come.
