Worry free buy non-toyota hi-end car, period.

If you've owned a Toyota, enjoyed it's bullet proof reliability, cheap maintenance and high resale value, then it's the best time to avoid buying one...

Industry analysts such as Kelley Blue Book have done research showing that Toyota sales will drop this month. The company's research shows 27 percent of new car shoppers who were considering a Toyota before the recall are no longer considering the brand. Nearly half of the buyers who have defected from Toyota say they may never contemplate the brand again.

John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai Motor America, said Monday his company used to lose customers who had narrowed their purchase to Hyundai or Toyota, but he said people are now dropping Toyota from their shopping list.

The defect is unacceptable pero nagtataka lang ako sa mga na-aksidente dahil sa unwanted acceleration. They always have an option to depress the brake pedal or throw the gear in neutral. Kasi diba dito sa atin, yung ibang utility vehicles eh di bomba ang preno o napuputulan ng accelerator cable. Kaya namang diskartehan ng driver kung paano mapapatigil yung sasakyan nila safely.

Siguro dapat silipin din ng NHTSA ang kakulangan sa driver education sa mga nagmamaneho ng kotse.

Yan din ang gagawin ng wifey ko asking "if happen to you".

Kaya sa atin yan, nasa kph lang tayo eh, unlike sa kanila mph, di na kaya sa kanila ang diskarte natin dahil lumilipad na sila

Wala din sa atin yan, majority sa mga pinoy ay mga offensive driver...
dahil sa kaka-offensive natin, may mga diskarte tayo

Good afternoon to all somebody posted this in thai motoring forum, an isolated case of sudden acceleration in Bangkok, Thailand.
The Altis Driver's statement; when he puts the car in reverse the engine revved to 5,000 rpm without him touching the gas pedal thus he backed up onto the roof of the Civic behind him. Scary

Pwede namang iconvert ang mph sa kph.


*sm2by,

naka-accelerator cable pa yung ganyang altis di ba? so kasama rin pala yan kahit hindi naka drive-by-wire

i think countries that use mph knows the difference between 100 kph and 100 mph.
