Geely Philippines

Frankly, I don't know who'll be buying these cars.

Aside from the body work in case of collision, nobody knows how to repair or maintain these cars. Casa lang.
Sabihin na natin even if electric or even hybrid cars are the future, matatagalan yan here in the 3rd world. Pang 1st world lang talaga yang mga yan.

Bibili lang niyan yung tipong really rich, who could possibly care less about their purchase (disposable lang) but the average upper middle class consumer, probably not.

Anyone remember when LPG powered cars and conversion shops abounded in the metro? Asaan na lahat ng units niyan ngayon? What about the supporting infrastructure (LPG stations & the like)? All gone.

Chicken and egg scenario. Fence sitters won't buy because of the perceived lack of servicing outside casa. TESDA-centers won't offer EV servicing courses because "walang market" daw ang EV. There is a channel of a DIYer who buys cheap exotics and even Teslas and fixes them up. The latter he says, apart from the powertrain is just like any other car (suspension and brakes).

I (personally) think na biggest issue against Geely PH is that they were not able to compete against the other Chinese brands.

Nung lumabas yung Coolray, napa wow tayo lahat... pero MG lang kalaban nya sa market noon... then later lumabas yung Territory

Tapos Azkarra was a higher end model
Okavango was the bigger car

madami dami din akong neighbors and colleagues na bumili ng Coolray and wala naman silang complain sa car.

pero later, pansin na pansin na wala naman talaga nagbago sa offering nila. yes lumabas yung Emgrand and GX3 (pero nandyan na yung Raize nun)

halos colors and body kits lang ang nagbago sa Coolray...

technically, 6 years old na yung Coolray. 5 years na sya sa market natin... medyo luma na din.

Obviously. Mga bulok at mauusok na jeepneys nga hindi parin matanggal-tanggal sa kalsada. Meron sanang modernization ng puvs pero tutol naman mga may hawak ng franchise kasi ang mahal daw.

we do not need new laws.
what we need are actual enforcement of current laws.

we can start with an honest-to-goodness emissions testing and vehicle roadworthiness evaluation requirement.
tanggalin ang smoke belchers, yung walang kumpletiong ilaw, walang handbreak, may balding tyres, walang windshield wipers, walang starter, nabubutas-na-sa-kalawang na katawan... etc!
tanggalin na rin ang all-stinless-nakakasilaw jeeps!

we will not outlaw old models.
we will simply make them safer.
