New Car Sales Cool Last March With Month On Month Decline

New car sales grew at its slowest pace in over two years last March amid elevated interest rates. The joint report of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines (CAMPI) and the Truck Manufacturers Association (TMA) showed that sales rose just 1.6 percent to 37,474 units last month compared to 36,880 units a year earlier.

Mazda MX-5 Proves Pace, Reliability As It Takes Consecutive Endurance Race Wins

The Mazda MX-5 proved to be a quick and reliable racing platform by dominating the 2024 Petron Makabayan Endurance Cup opener last April 14. The #55 Team MSCC Mazda Miata race car completed 114 laps in four hours, a new lap record for the 4-Hour Kagitingan Cup. The same car also won the two-hour race, lapping the 3.7-kilometer Batangas Racing Circuit 60 times. This is the first time Team MSCC Mazda Miata won both endurance challenges.

Mazda PH Strengthens Partnership With Katala Foundation For Wildlife Conservation

Bermaz Auto Philippines (Mazda Philippines), the exclusive distributor of Mazda vehicles in the country, strengthened its partnership with the non-stock, non-profit organization, Katala Foundation, Inc., and their fight to protect the endangered Philippine pangolin (manis culionensis).

Let’s stop for a minute and admire what Nissan has done here. In an age where electrification has become the auto industry buzzword, they’ve come up with something leftfield with the all-new Z. Eschewing any motivation via electrons, it’s got a big, honking V6 driving the rear wheels. There’s even standard limited slip diff, performance brake (pads), and a no-cost option for a stick. It’s as old-school as a sportscar’s going to get and just thinking about it gets any enthusiast, myself included, all wet.

January 2024 New Car Sales Up 15.5 Percent; Toyota Corners 47.25 Percent

Review: 2024 Honda CR-V RS e:HEV

Throughout its six generations, the Honda CR-V has never been afraid to experiment. From offering an underfloor picnic table in the first-generation model, cramming ten seats in the second-generation model, to a diesel engine and seven seats in the fifth-generation model, this compact SUV is designed as if it’s got a feel of the market’s pulse as a whole. With the sixth-generation model, Honda has done it again with the introduction of two things: the RS badge and a strong hybrid system called the e:HEV.

Review: 2024 GWM Haval H6 HEV Supreme

Chinese carmakers, pay attention. This is your gold standard. The past five years or so, we’ve seen brands sprout up like mushrooms all from the Middle Kingdom. And like fungi that thrive in dark, damp places, none of them deserve to be in the limelight. They’d be great for a couple of days or so, but something always throws you off. Until now. The GWM Haval H6 shows us that when they get their act together, they could make pretty compelling cars.

Review: 2024 Honda CR-V 1.5 V Turbo

P 2.1-million—until now, I find this price tag hard to swallow, especially when I’m talking about the Honda CR-V. Whether the P 361,000 gap between this, the entry-level CR-V 1.5 V Turbo, and the HR-V RS Turbo is tied to inflation or some potential product slotting in-between, but whatever the reason, it does put this compact SUV under pressure. With a low sticker price no longer a USP, what could be the reasons be for people to consider the all-new CR-V?

Winners And Losers Of September 2023 Philippine New Car Sales Revealed

Review: 2024 Mazda CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo

The CX-60 occupies a narrow space in the market between two more traditional segments: the two-row compact SUV and the three-row mid-sized SUV. With that, it must deliver enough differentiation either to entice buyers to move up (in the case of compact SUVs) or move laterally (in the case of mid-sized SUVs). Either way, it’s got its work cut out. Having sampled the diesel-powered CX-60 3.3 HEV Turbo-D Sport before, I’d say that Mazda managed to get about 80 percent of it right. It isn’t perfect, but ultimately there’s still lots to like.
