UPDATED: 2019 Ford EcoSport to Arrive by End of August?
UPDATE: The official launch story is here (8/29).
During the first week of August, Ford Philippines announced the extension of discounts on the EcoSport, Ranger, and Everest. Sifting through the promo details reveal one peculiar thing: the promotion, particularly for the EcoSport ends on August 23. As promotions go, that’s a pretty odd date to end it (typically it’s at the middle or end of every month) so naturally, it got us thinking: is Ford Philippines about to introduce a refreshed EcoSport?

Review: 2018 Subaru Outback 3.6R-S EyeSight
Subaru has always worn quirkiness on its sleeve. Although its more recent offerings are now on the verge of becoming mainstream, they’re still quite some ways away from the Corollas and CR-Vs of the world. Take the Outback: Subaru’s unique twist on the executive vehicle segment. While the Legacy is available for more conservative folk, the Outback pretty much exemplifies what the Pleaides brand has gone for: a loveable oddball that appeals to the thinking set.
