    Not really. Same generation, but driving dynamics, fit and finish are way superior vs Altis and Civic. Pag naka drive ka ng Golf and Jetta di ka na babalik sa Jap sedans.

    Sayang lang na after 5 years, wala na akong pampalit sa Golf GTS ko. Balik Japanese. Or maybe MG would have had time to establish themselves.

    Most European makes/design are understated. Not too much use of chrome, not too angular; soft & rounded corners. Asian cars tend to try to outdo each other. Some may find Euro designs boring.

    China again?? Like they never learned on how their China models perform locally in terms of sales.

    They should bring the Atlas here. With the success of the Golf GTS, the Allroad would also sell well.

    There are still jettas and golfs left from Mexico according to this source.

    They were even asked if they prefer to sell those units left but top management decided not to bring it in, so they were quite disappointed.

    The jetta and golf were easy to sell but these China mades, hirap daw talaga.

    They should stop selling the antiquated and under-specÂ’d last gen Tiguan and bring in the Tiguan L. It is made in China and sports a current mainstream VW nameplate. Price it right and it can become their anchor model in the PHL. Their line-up is too sedan heavy in a market moving away from sedans (other than Vios class compacts).

    There are only three thriving markets now:

    PPV
    Pickup
    Vans

    Sa van dept there are 2 subclasses: the commuter / large families carrier

    And eto bago market na modified luxury vans, yun nasa IGTV na guy that modifies vans, sigurado yayaman yun sa future, ang galing modified nya lahat ng klase ng van, pati big vans ng ford and hyundai


    You only have to observe Toyota and makikita mo na ang mga car config na hinde na bebenta

    Corolla and all sedans
    rav4 and all crossovers

    Pero sympre exception to the rule ang vios/avanza/innova,

    But we are the volkwagen thread

    So VW

    Should only concerrate on two

    Their Amarok line and probably release a PPV versuon of that
    And their Euro Vans as big as the starex or hiace

    To become relevant

    They can bring in again thr Caddy, which is far superior to the Innova in terms of space and driving dynamics. Kahit 1.4m, Innova is already doing 1m average. I'd pay more for the additional space (Caddy is a true 7 seater na may cargo space). In fact I did, I have a Caddy and utility is quite good. Not as big as a Hi Ace, but as handy as the Innova.

    It seems to me that the Philippine VW importer cannot win! If they bring in vehicles manufactured in Europe, the USA or Mexico, they are seen to be too expensive, if they bring vehicles manufactured in China then people complain that they the quality is not up to spec and the designs outdated or not "proper" VW!
