    our high cost of electricity has been an issue for potential and current manufacturers for decades now.

    there is also the so-called volatile political situation...

    yes our local market is small pero pwede naman mag assemble for export

    bakit di tayo naging manufacturing hub for export (like Thailand)?

    kasi hindi investor friendly ang Pinas

    Our tax laws don’t work well with foreign manufacturers. Most other manufacturers chose Thailand or Malaysia instead.

    I owned an Audi q5 2.0 tfsi quattro (the current model). Nice car but absolutely NOT worth the money.

    German car prices here are crazy and they arent much better, faster, safer, (and in some cases have less equipment) than their japanese, korean counterparts (especially the compact crossovers). If brand is more important to you..then go ahead and buy and enjoy it. But i cant see the point anymore in buying these entry level german crossovers when the asian competition is so strong.

    talagang napagiiwanan na tayo ng ibang asean neighbors...
    stuck na talaga tayo sa jeepneys.

    ewan ko lang in the future kung makakabalik pa tayo in the glory days kung saan napakaraming auto manufacturers sa atin way back in the 50s-70s like yutivo when they assemble (CKD) general motors cars and trucks. I think pati na rin mercedes used to be assemble their cars here i forgot the name company who assemble mercedes benz cars here back in the 60s-70s universal motors ata yun? correct me if im wrong..

    hopes in the future kung yung lahat sa administration ay matino at well trained to run the country's economy and investments, auto manufacturing industry will sure back in the country. There will also a possibility for the country to have it's own car brand. look at vietnam's vinfast.
