Yup. Mas mabilis dumating ang plates ng grey market. Sa Makati ang dami ko agad nakikitang GS from Hancars and Pitstop na "W" na ang series ng plates. Pero sa local puro "U" parin or wala pa plates.

Sa case ng HARI, may problema kasi yun pag release ng custongs sa CSR ng bawat sasakyan masyado matagal kaya hindi agad ma-register yun mga sasakyan. Issue na yun since 2010 pa brad

Mabilis nga ang release ng plaka kapag gray market, we bought our 3rd GS just before Holyweek this year, 2 weeks lang labas na plaka, partida pa na yung 1 week dun eh Holyweek. We got ours from Caroptions for the same reason na di rin namin kailangan yung mga bells and whistles so to speak.

Nakakapagtaka talaga sir, ang pricing ng Toyota sa SG. But despite its price, andami pa din ang bumibili. Meron pa ung mataas ung roof. And sa airport each time I am there, grabe, parang terminal ng SG ung parking lalo ung malapit sa entrance/exit sa international side.hehe

Well as we all know, stuck pa rin mga tao sa mentality na Toyota = Reliable. Which is somehow true naman, but then for the price, kung marunong ka talaga sa kotse... alam mong maraming alternatives. Well.. onti, pero may mas better sa SG

I was also in the same situation 3 years ago - choosing between a Super Grandia and Grand Starex. I ended up with the Grand Starex.

We got a gray market HVX from Standout Motors and we are truly happy with it. We let Pitstop Motors do the maintenance.

For me, the ride is much better than the Super Grandia, especially at the back. I was able to drive a M/T Super Grandia and the torque of the 2.5 D4D is just right. We were only 2 in the van that time when I drove one so I don't know how it will go if it is fully laden.

I am the one driving it most of the time so I would like something that has a nose and the GS has one. Power of it's engine is very good and steering is light.
