VW's lineup for Manila

The VW Philippines site is already up and the initial model lineup is showcased. I am a bit unimpressed though of the trim levels of their models (except the Touareg).

Any thoughts, fellow tsikoteers? I was expecting more from VW.

Probably more to do with the Philippine partners. Its a typical dick move by importers here to skimp on features but charge maximum pricing.

Same here. I was expecting cars like the GOLF and the SCIROCCO to be on the offering when VW opens its dealership here. Yet it is painfully absent.

They're waiting for the next gen Golf pa daw before releasing it here. And there were concerns about its price.

Weird lang parang ang layo ng 1.2TSI vs 2.0TDI in terms of displacement and performance. Let's see kung anong price diff.

Only 110hp/280Nm for the Jetta 2.0L TDI? Maybe VW-PH will be bringing in the 1.6L BlueMotion TDI as its specs are about the same as those listed in the VW-PH site.The USDM/EUDM Jetta 2.0L TDI is rated at 140hp/320Nm, about the same as the previous gen Focus TDCi.

TSI - Turbo Stratified Injection (same as Audi's TFSI - Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection) or basically a turbocharged petrol engine in VW terms
TDI - Turbocharged Direct Injection, same as other brands' turbo diesel engines
