ReplyDeleteOrphaned maxuses, kawawa naman😔😔😔
ReplyDeleteNaghahanap lng ng ibang step-daddy. Hindi nmn sila abandonado lol
DeleteBYD and Kia na lang focus ng Ayala.
ReplyDeleteWhat took them so long to announce this? MG has been selling G50 for some time now and now T90 and D90 are coming
ReplyDeleteHas Maxus PH cleared its inventory? Maxus products then are from the time when Chinese cars are not in its glory days yet.
DeleteTo focus on BYD?
ReplyDeleteSomething is not right with the D90. Maxus had this several years ago but no marketing push from Maxus Ph. Now new Gloster name has been announced locally. So when will this PPV officially be launched?
ReplyDeleteI'm no product planner, but I think entering the pickup and PPV space right now is a bit too late. The demand for these kinds of vehicles are starting to wane...and we have to thank the excise taxes for that.
DeleteMG should concentrate in bringing in more electrified vehicles...that way, they can fend off BYD and take advantage of the electrification trend in the industry.
Hope it is not a product problem that Maxus took long to resolve. There is another nameplate aside Maxus that took long to market and is still finding its footing in PH market.
Deletepag gumuho ang byd sa china, bibitawin rin yan.... that is the track record unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised it took them this long? But I think a serious reevaluation was done first before they formally announced this.
ReplyDeleteSayang had Maxus had more brand recognition I think G50 would have sold very well.
Ayala should release a statement that will reassure Maxus buyers for at least a couple of years of after sales service. New car brands may have better products than established ones, this is one example that scares buyers from changing brands and for sure this won't be the last.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if people bothered to read the article which contains the statement from SAIC that says that they are still committed (meaning stuff like after sales will simply be business as normal) then people wouldn't be scared lol
DeleteDistributorship changing doesn't mean the dealerships are gonna close.
It is not dead just hanging on to dear life. Read between the lines. Who else will partner with it? Not enough volume why sustain the brand. Everyday the bills get higher just pull the plug
DeleteIf no one else would do it locally then SAIC can just do it themselves. But considering that they've been here for a while apparently and I've barely heard any news about them (good or bad news) so they seriously need to do something about their marketing.
DeleteWhy buy cars or products from a bully country? No pride from us and are ok to be trampled on even in our own territory!?
ReplyDeleteActually try boycotting everything made in China. No, really. Try it. You'd probably have to abandon whatever you're using to comment on here. You're free to decide on a car from a greedy Japanese company over a greedy Chinese company, no one's stopping you. Take your pride and go consume some geopolitics (and maybe some global economics) videos and you'll have a more nuanced understanding of the world. Or don't. No one should force anyone to do something they don't want to. We wouldn't want to be a bully now would we? 😃
DeleteYour statement is totally based on democratic principles and not based on communist values. But let's be real that geopolitics will be a hindrance for others to buy Chinese. Also another major consideration of others is brand equity that despite of some not recognizing it is truly a a thing that exist not only in cars but in major purchases.
DeleteMaxus vehicles are under the MG brand, right?
ReplyDeletesister brand of MG. They're both under SAIC
