hotel service vehicles...

it was a contracta ctually between LTFRB and Honda...during the '90s hinde ka makakakuha ng franchise pag Honda kotse mo sa LTFRB...and expired na rin yun contract nila...ngayon general waiver na lang pag bumili ka Honda, bawal gawin PUV, bawal i-race..etc...

saka yun sinasabi na mas mahal parts ng Honda or Nissan hinde na totoo yan ngayon, dami-daming ng repelcement parts from japan or taiwan eh... yun mga pang ilalim meron 555 etc...

kaya puro toyota taxi dahil nag nagbebenta sila ng fleet sale sa mga taxi company, siyempre meron discount eh hinde naman ginagawa ng honda yan eh,

hinde lang talaga economical gawin taxi ang honda, isipin niyo yun mga civic models nila from esi up to now..wala naman talagang stripped down models para gawin taxi...unlike toyota and before yun nissan meron LEC yun gen2 sentra saka meron din stripped down yun b14..ngayon sa toyota meron talagang pang taxi straight out of casa yun avanza

slightly OT: at one point in time Nissan was offering the Sentra as taxi, casa-converted to LPG na. Dunno what happened, they seemed to have lost steam, don't see that many new Nissan taxis anymore

Toyota Vios ate up most of the market for taxis and fleets. Cheaper to run, cheaper to maintain. Nissan Sentras were ok before the Vios came out.

Sobrang galing ng branding ng Honda PH. 90s lang sila pumasok, market leader kagad next to Toyota.

Hanggang ngayon kahit bano mga kotse nila (FB Civic anyone?), bumebenta pa rin and mataas ang resale value.

Naisip ko lang, what if bumili ako ng fleet of used Honda City taxis. Feeling ko kasi mas maraming gusto sumakay kaysa mga Vios kasi siyempre rare and Honda so sosyal.

walang waiver. meron lang disclaimer sa warranty booklet na pag ginawang PUV, yung dealership pwede ka tanggihan ng services nila or hindi ka nila bebentahan parts.

Then go do so. Don't you think if it were viable someone would've done it already? Toyota gives hefty discounts for taxi fleets, let's them choose the color they want and gives parts and service support. So you think you can still make better profit if you buy Hondas?

Oo nga mula ng mag ka isip ako sa sasakyan wala padin ako nakita na ginawang taxi ang honda kahet sa mga hotel na ginagawang service nila. tinalo pa nila ang mercedez kase sa ibang bansa nag taxi na sila. kaya yung pangalan nila talagang well maintain at yung quality talagang pinapanindigan nila kaya kahet luma na mahal padin ang bentahe nila e..

Baka kaya hinde matibay sa laspagan ang Honda kaya ayaw din nilang gawing taxi unit nila?

Never owned a Honda, but my friend owned a city before. Yung 2007 model.

Ang dami naging sira, Casa maintained pa yun.
