pero syempre, still can't beat a car out in the open road and in the corners (just as you can't beat a truck on the beaten path)

A conventional automobile does have its advantages. I guess its just a metter of filling in one's needs.
Trucks fit my needs extremely well.

trivia: 90% of lincoln town car owners are 45~60+ years old.
But here's a more interesting fact:
In North America, in the recent years, the Toyota Corolla's customers' average age is . . . . . . . . 46 years old! For this reason, Toyota USA launched the Scion product line - like the Scion Matrix which has been moderately popular in the States. The Scion is intended to keep Toyota's foothold in the subcompact market.
I guess US$15-18K for a Corolla is no longer entry-level for the young crowd in North America.

i noticed na i'm moving up the engine displacement range every time i change my car. starting from a 1.1L to a 1.7L to a 2.2L..... what next, a 3.0L?
but i noticed that recently i'm starting to like SUVs over fast cars (considering i'm just 21)....because of its large tires and high ground clearance....naaawa ako sa kotse ko pag tumatakbo sa uneven surface like the Quirino to Magallanes part of SLEX....hindi nga pothole, sobra namang uneven! pag SUV car mo, di problem yun eh!

Kaka-inggit talaga mga based sa states. I suppose you've noticed a long long time ago how affordable pre-owned, pristine SUVs are in that part of the world! Just take a look at ebay and you'll see what i mean... LC100s just a few years old selling for less than $20K. 5 year old LC 80s going for $10K. Yummy!
Pissword, give us a field report naman of how the Everest is.:D

the scion brand is supposed to be sold statewide in the middle of next year. they have 2 models so far the echo-based xA and the boxy xB. they're bringing in a european toyota model sometime in 05 as the xC. the biggest headache for toyota USA is its aging customer base hence the scion brand.
US landcruisers are made in japan, and so are the rav4's, 4runners(hilux surf in japan), lexus gx470(LC prado), lx470 (LC cygna) and rx330 (harrier). the RX will be built in canada pretty soon.

still young but i don't think i'll ever have an SUV (definitely will never ever have a van)...i love speed and cornering too much
maybe if you dieselclub guys took me on one of your expeditions when i go home to the philippines, i'll change my mind ;)
