Got our switchblade silver last Friday, Dec 6. Drove it Bicol 2 days after na ma release yung unit. Kayang kaya niya akyatin ang Atimonan zigzag na naka automatic lang. Yung manual shift ginamit ko sya for engine breaking pababa ng zigzag. Yung load nung sasakyan is 1 driver and 1 passenger then loaded yung likod ng mga baggage.

Any news regarding the supply of 1.5 LTZ Spin? Can anyone suggest dealer and SA contact number? Is Chevrolet Makati good?

As of now we reserved for 1 unit at chevy laguna. Walang stock sa alabang, laguna and lipa. Lahat sila sinabi by january magrerelease daw po ng 100 units ng gas. Dumami ung stocks diesel variant nila dahil in demand ito last year kaya un ang mas pinrioritize nila. Ngayon naman wala na talaga gas
Hehe. Konting tiis lang.
Is it just me na naawkward sa itsura ng likod ng spin? haha

That makes the two of us. Kung directly tignan sa likod parang ok naman sa paningin ko pero pang nasa side angle na ng rear view, parang alanganin talaga sa akin. :D

EDIT:
Just took a call from TCCCI. Engine is Fiat designed, manufacturing is managed by GM Powertrain Torino. Engine is being assembled in Brazil using local Brazilian parts with the exception of the engine block and the common rail. Engine block came from Italy, Common rail is Bosch and came from Germany.

Tata also uses this engine is some of their cars but its already assembled by Fiat na.

So di ba hindi in-house? Heheh

Payo ko lang wag basta magpapaniwala lalo na sa mga sales people. Do some elementary studies din pag may time. Let say geography.

Look at the world map if what sales people says make sense because its against the art of SCM (Supply Chain Management).

Spin is assembled in Indonesia.
Engine assembled in Brazil?
Engine block from Italy? and sent to Brazil for final assembly? Before sending to Indonesia?

Yes its maybe true that engine block is from Italy dahil land travel lang pwede na marating ang Poland where 1.3 engines for the European market are being assembled and mostly labelled as ECOTEC.

Also why GM will assemble SDE (Small Diesel Engine) in Brazil if there is no market for small diesel vehicles. Dahil bawal.
Pagkakaalam ko, wala ngang Spin na 1.3 diesel variance sa Brazil. Di ba? Pakitanong nga ulet si TCCI. Heheh

Besides, what is wrong if gawa sa India na di hamak na mas malapit sa Indonesia at mura pa labor cost? Meron naman yan quality assurance ni Fiat dahil nga JV ang facility.

Any owner feedback on the diesel variant of the Spin?

Also, any news when the automatic variant is coming out? Looking for a people hauler aside from the innova.
