Maybe Aisin is eyeing the long term aftermarket mainly on the lower market segment like C, D & E car owners. Can you believe Aisin is producing engine oil, coolants, steering suspension and even filters? They are becoming more of a private label like Federal Mogul where they just use their brand's reputation in selling products which they have no experience in selling before.
I am not sure kung ganon na kababa ang quality ng lahat product ng Advics. Example na lang sa brake master cylinder ng toyota revo ko. A toyota brand na gawa ng aisin japan cost 12k, yung Advics brand nasa P3,300, while yung FIC na may tatak pa na made in japan nasa 2,800, while yung mga taiwan brand nasa P1,800. I dont think nag price ang Advics just by its brand they also consider the quality. eto copy paste na lang corporate history for reference.
