    1. Seems Hyundai is not getting a lot of traction... it seems all their TOTL models are overpriced.

  2. Mazda's strategy of going upscale is really working. Almost same na sila ng sales ng Benz and BMW 😄

    1. Not quite. They have a huge backlog of orders, particularly of the Mazda3, CX-5, CX-8, and MX-5. They've been hit pretty bad by the chip/logistics issue.

    1. Subaru (Motor Image) is a member of AVID, not CAMPI. AVID hasn't released any info for quite a number of months already.

  5. unbelievable that Peugeot sold more than VW though it is to be expected. The dearth of VW dealerships, especially within the metro, can be a factor

  6. I feel bad for Ssangyong. It's a good SUV specialist. It's just unfortunate about the name and recent financial troubles.

    3. I am a Ssangyong owner and mismanagement of Bermaz & Autohub not having a dealer in the key cities in Metro Manila, Cebu & Davao hurt their sales and even after sales.

  8. Due to very hefty priced increased of emgrand, azkarra and okavango, geelys sales will surely nosedive. Emgrand is outclassed by MG gt, okavango is outpriced and outclassed by chery tiggo8 pro, azkarra is outpriced and outclassed by changan cx55. Only coolray will save dear day, but it wont be enough

    1. MG, like Subaru and Changan, aren't members of CAMPI so they don't submit monthly sales reports. Subaru and Changan are members of AVID though, but they haven't reported anything in months.
