Mazda Launches the CX60 in the Philippines

Many have touted Mazda as the BMW of Japan as both brands focus heavily on the driving experience. Mazda's vehicles tend to be more driver-focused than their Japanese mainstream competitors. But from a BMW driver’s point of view, there's one important thing that differentiates Mazda from BMW and other premiere German brands. Most BMWs are rear-wheel drive or rear biased AWD. Mazdas, with the exception of their dedicated sports cars, are front-wheel drive or heavily front biased all-wheel drive. That affects their driving dynamics as it’s hard to get them to oversteer under power. It also affects the balance of the car as most of the weight is at the front.

The CX60 will come in diesel and petrol variants. Both have 3.3L 6-cylinder engines. T...

As Geely's Boat Takes on Water, Where is the Captain

This Channel's been around for a few years and we've built relations with almost every brand operating in the Philippines with the exception of a few. One of those exceptions is Geely. We don't know a single person currently working at Sojitz, Geely’s distributor, as they didn't engage with "new media" car reviewers until just very recently. For an upstart that could use as much exposure as it could get, it’s a curious decision. Problems arise in every brand, even those considered to be the most reliable. The difference is in the People behind the brand and what they do when the pressure mounts up. Ford gets a lot of flak for what people say are reliability issues but Ford Philippines is very quick when it comes to addressing them before they get bigger. They have teams that monitor social media posts and facebook groups for complaints and reply to them very quickly. Problems will inevitably arise but they try to nip it at the bud as much as possible. The is...
