STARTING Sept. 9, only the Chevrolet Suburban will be exempt from an excise tax on vehicles. Eighteen other models, including top-sellers Toyota Revo, Mitsubishi Adventure, Isuzu Crosswind and Honda CR-V, failed a 10-seater criterion during a re-measurement by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) last week.
Kasya naman ang 11 na passengers sa Revo, Adventure at Crosswind?
kagagawan lahat ito ng honda when it classified the crv as auv. now that a new tax regulation is to be implemented, hindi naman gaano ma-apektuhan ang honda since wala talaga syang auv and suv, the 2 most affected sa new tax scheme. baka mabalik ulit sa mga passenger sedans ang top seller which is now the auv's. so makikinabang na naman ang honda dito dahil puro passenger cars lang ang benta. yung crv kumita na sila dito so ok lang sa kanila.
ako i own a revo, and I agree na hindi nga kasya yung 10 (comfortably seated), pero hindi ibig sabihin matataba kami.
kaya nga isakay yung 10 pero yung center seats sardines yung apat, yung front passenger seat pwede magsisik ng dalawa pero imbes na makapag shift ka ng gear, masasampal ka kasi legs nung katabi ng driver yung mahahawakan. back seats naman kumportableng makakaupo yung apat wag lang yokuzuna and andre d'giant yung uupo.
9 lang talaga cguro yung seating capacity ng present AUVs(for me exception yung adventure kasi medyo makukuba yung 2 sa back seat dahil sa design nug top-back corners, 7 lang sya cguro)
nandun din to sa car talk na forum... tingnan nyo dun mas mahaba un usapan hehehe kung anu un pinagmulan (CRV) sya pa ang d maaapektuhan. panu nga pala un SUV tulad ng rav, escape etc?
sa xwind, kasya 10 medium built people, 3 sa front, 3 middle and 4 sa rear. sa front ok lang 3 kasi yung handbrake ng xwind nasa ilalim ng steering wheel, ala-truck style. saka yung front seats continous di hiwalay. pero sasabit pa rin ng konti yung tuhod pag change gears mo.
Kung puro mala-battlecruiser at aircraft carrier ang pasahero mo, 6 lang siguro kasya. kung puro kayo 250 lbs , fatay!
record ko as far as number of loaded passengers is 17 including driver -- 8 adults( 3 payatot, 4 medium size, 1 lightheavyweight = that's me + 9 little kids)
Pero I heard this morning sa news sa DZMM, hahabol daw ata yung Senate/Congress law modifying the excise tax scheme. Di na seating capacity and engine displacement ang magiging basis for taxation kundi yung actual peso value ng sasakyan. So, the more expensive ones will get more taxed while the vehicles that fall below the threshold value will get only 2% tax daw. Ang crucial dito e yung threshold value, which at this point is being debated, sabi ni Recto, P750,000 yata ang median value ng mga sasakyan ngayon. Pag ito ang ginawang threshold value, anything valued over that will get a big tax. ang mangyayari nito, cost reduction programs sigurado ang mga car manufacturers. Let's hope it redounds to the benefit of the consuming public.

OR
Fit in a lousy 1000cc engine to be able to lower its tax. :p
