why? Didn't the looks get you? Must be the rear, huh........ masyadong mataas yung likod saka ka-presyo ng camry.

imho, from the look of things to come second hand vehicle market would be the best bet choice for car buyers;

consider this:
1) fx rate would hover beyond p56 for the whole of 2004
2) cost impact of higher peso is higher cost for import-laden goods like CBU cars
3) since fuels are imported stuff and no hope of price stability for the rest of the year it would turn off car buyers for cars in the 1.8l to 2.0l variants
4) even asiong aksaya would rather lose face and settle for subcompact units
5) car manufacturers have no choice but to return to the drawing board and abandon the idea of flooding the glutting market with much harder to sell gas guzzlers just because of better profit returns .

my 2 cents..

The prius utilizes toyota's hybrid system. Gets 44 mpg. With the way fuel prices are going up, the prius looks appealing! Galing ako sa Singapore last month. At the science museum, they had a cut up model of the prius engine system. Galing! It utilizes the kinetic energy that is produced by the car's braking system, convert that into energy which is stored in a big battery that drives an electric motor.
