    Bro, this is not commercially available (which makes it "rare")? Compared to the other cars in its class, I would say that this is really a steal at 850K. I know VW is one of the top companies in diesel technology. Swerte mo Ayala employee ka . Any chance you might know someone who would like to sell his/her unit?

    How can it be a good band when anywhere around the world they're now known as cheats or falsifier. For me, that alone is enough reason not to invest coz used buyers will always bring that up to you in the guise of they just want a discount

    To clarify, it was the 2.0 diesel engine which showed the emission anomaly upon testing, back in 2015 in the US. This was based on US emission standards, which is one of the highest in the world (compared to Philippine standards i.e. looking at the jeepneys, buses and cargo trucks which ply our streets and pass the emission tests every year during vehicle registration renewal ). Even other car companies' emission results were put into question. Anyway, as a consequence, heads rolled, VW's top German honcho, Mr. Martin Winterkorn and the head of US operations, Mr. Horn resigned. VW started rectifying the issue and have come up with both hardware and software modifications to address this. Happy to say that the 2016 models are no longer included on the watchlist. That being said, definitely this is a steal and I'll still pop P850K for it any day of the year.

    Toyota/Lexus tried to hide their SUA/ sticky pedal in the US. Mitsubishi had an emission test scandal this year.
    So you think the whole galaxy thinks they're cheats too?
    FYI, VW is highly regarded in the world inspite of the scandal. No. 22 company in Forbes list.

    Sensitive kasi noypi pag pagtitipiran ang usapan. Since tainted na vw sa pag falsify ng fuel efficiency iba na yun. Di yan tulad nun sa toyota


    Anyway, you can always enjoy your cars naman. Andyan na yan eh parang peugeot. So pag nakakakita kami ng volks sa kalsada, syempre iisipin namin tiga Ayala kayo yun lang

    Comaony nyo na nag-pasok dito tapos kayo na din bumili ng products nyo. Tangkilikin sariling atin

    Only the emission results were altered by VW. The software was wise enough to know that the car was being tested thus altering emission figures to adapt to US diesel standards.There was no mention of fuel efficiency falsification. As if such emission figures matter in the Philippines.

    It was Mitsubishi and Hyundai/Kia who were fined for broadcasting erroneous fuel efficiency/consumption figures.

    It's a corporate discount and a form of employee benefit. It's not only limited to VW cars but big discounts are also offered to Honda and Isuzu vehicles. Maybe soon, discounts will be offered to employees who want to buy KTM motorcycles.

    Local buyers of VW are also offered good discounts on their model lineup. You just need to go to a VW dealership and ask.

    Excuse me, Bro. I am not from Ayala or am I an employee of any of their affiliates. I'm just a plain and simple Tsikoteer who, like you, is just sharing what I know because I believe that fora like this should serve the public by informing them of what the real score is so that at the end of the day, We, the consumers would make the better, if not, the best choice based on facts.

    for the price, of course i said yes, even if i dont have plans on purchasing any car that time.

    OB, gamot mo sabi huwag mong kakalimutan
