They now use VW vehicles as their office commute. Are you therefore saying the Ayalas are social climbers? And if you say they are, where would they climb up to given they’re already on top of the social spectrum? The truth of the matter is VW has carved itself into a unique industry segment offering German engineering and (solid) build at more affordable price points relative to its other Alemanic peers. It caters to sensible buyers, not social climbers. And if a social climber does happen to own one, then good for him!

VW will never market their cars as competitors with other brands,because they have the biggest luxury car market share already.. its like samsung phones,bashed by apple users(more premium perse) but apple is tiny compared to samsung company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-1105770681384866192015-10-27T19:09:54.453+08:002015-10-27T19:09:54.453+08:00Lexus is an upgraded version of Toyota while Audi ...Lexus is an upgraded version of Toyota while Audi is the upgraded version of VW. My uncle has a Lexus IS while I drive a VW Passat. Anyway, if you want to compre Passat to Lexus I, Passat is more roomy, more classy in terms of interior materials, and more solid body. I have never paid a cent since I brought the car 2 yrs ago, all services and done by my dealer while my contemporaries who own Honda, Toyota, and Altima needs to do their maintenance every 5000 km and very expensive service charges. Not to mention I feel more safe with my passat.Dee Dee's Laboratoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01354829017876279835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-59396627401512054022015-09-17T16:26:07.013+08:002015-09-17T16:26:07.013+08:00I think IS350 is in a different category vs the ne...I think IS350 is in a different category vs the new Passat. IS is more for sport handling (although German cars can run faster with the same HP rating),but not so comfortable for city driving (just sold mine after 2 years of ownership). <br /><br />Passat is targeted towards the 320's and C200's and a step up vs Camry/Accord. Decent power with a solid feel but with a lot more high tech toys. <br /><br />The Passat's low profile look is kinda growing on me and if VW Phils included the Dynaudio as standard, then you have an even better winner as you will be entertained better while stuck in hopeless Manila traffic :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-35402086183725395592015-09-13T23:49:49.841+08:002015-09-13T23:49:49.841+08:00Shameless social-climbing car.

At this Price point it's intelligent to go European particular German! You are right a 3 series 318d cost around 2,8M. I would brainstorm too.. But a 3 series and cc class are much smaller than this Passat for a bit more money. So we can't compare them they are 2 different classes, the Passat is a midsize Sedan.
