Would you like a Cherry Tiggo?


Would you like a Cherry Tiggo? The car sounds like an upsell by a McDonald's crew. It looks like a rebirth of a 2nd generation Toyota RAV 4. The engine sounds like a 1.6 liter sedan undergoing extreme punishment.

Chinese Invasion
This pretty much sums up my comments on the 2008 Cherry Tiggo. Cherry is a Chinese car manufacturer who recently set up a distributor in the Philippines. They're pretty aggressive - a sales outlet in Tarlac City at a prime location, sales blitzes in metro manila malls. They really mean business and their message is that they want to slug it out with the big boys.

Cheapest SUV
Priced at under P800,000 I'd say it is the cheapest SUV in the market. At under a million, you get dual airbags, anti lock braking system, roll bars and a 1.6 liter engine! Well you can't have everthing. Another model, QQ is the cheapest hatchback in the market. In the early 90s Kia Pride CD5 was introduced at around P350th. Fast forward to almost 2 decades, the Cherry QQ is offered at P318th. It goes without saying that the company's differentiator is the price.

So would I get a Cherry Tiggo? It depends, if it is given for free or at least sold with a 50% discount, I'll definitely grab the offer.

    Notably, the performance on zeitgeist renewable energy
    energy production equipment more than doubled from the 2011 third quarter from what is normally a seasonal low for this business.
    Regardless, couples could still have the option of a zeitgeist renewable energy
    energy resource.
