Exporting a Vehicle ?
A lot of customers are asking me why there are no stocks when it comes to Toyota Sienna AWD especially the XLE Limited package . Hhhhmmmmm … Good question .
There are so many different answers :
It ’ s the favorite vehicle for the family . It ’ s the only Mini van that hold its value in AWD family van category . Its so nice to drive and very dependable when it comes to durability . Or going all the way to a country like China , India , US etc ...
It ’ s a very awesome Mini Van for a family use and because of that reasons , it is the most salable or favorite vehicle for export as well .
Don ’ t get me wrong . Toyota Canada are trying very hard not to sell Sienna if it will go over seas . All the dealers are pretty much aware of it . They gave a copy of all the persons and companies whose exporting a vehicle but they always have a way to get it . Anyway , I don ’ t want to dig more about that part because I may discover so many things . So I will just keep on telling you how nice and spectacular looking Toyota Sienna is . Actually , I don ’ t have to say anything because the vehicle alone can speak for itself . Just google it and you will find why .
The price here is $ 60000 tax included for the Limited AWD
EMBRACING A COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT : Isuzu PH kicks off anniversary by planting trees
PLANTING trees seems to be part of the work ethic in Isuzu Philippines Inc . ( IPC ). In the past it has already planted or helped produce nearly 20,000 various species of trees and seedlings . Last February 4 , IPC employees trooped once more to the enchanted mountain of Makiling to add to the 300 or so trees it already planted in the course of 7 years .
The 20th anniversary kick-off activity , started with several ethnic dances presented by the University of the Philippine at Los Baños ( UPLB ) Filipiniana Dance Troupe . In his speech , IPC President Hajime Koso ’ s emphasized his company ’ s commitment to the environment highlighting how it had quickly responded to calls for “ forest adoption ” around the Laguna area . He connected the anniversary activity to the day ’ s tree planting activity .
“ It is only fitting that , as we celebrate this momentous occasion , we return the favor to society and continue pursuing our commitment to sustainability and environmental protection . This should be beneficial not only to residents of the communities we operate in but to all stakeholders as well ,” Koso said in his opening speech .
His opening remarks lead to short and meaningful speeches from Dr . Nathaniel Bantayan , Director of the Makiling Center for Mountain Ecosystem and Mount Makiling Forest Reserve ( MMFR ) ASEAN Heritage Park , who commended Isuzu ’ s participation in the ecological efforts as a “ strong commitment ” that he wished all companies would emulate . He even gave the company ’ s acronym IPC a new meaning . “ I ” meaning integrated , touching on the way the company brings together the environment into their business activities , “ P ” for preservation and protection , referring to the way tree planting creates a continuation of the ecosystem and “ C ” for commitment , pointing to Isuzu ’ s involvement with the MMFR projects .
It has also planted mangroves in Hundred Islands , Pangasinan ; taking part in a variety of conservation efforts in Rizal Park ( Manila ), Osmeña Park ( Cebu ) and Davao City Park ; involvement in the Save the La Mesa Watershed Project ; and by providing 3,000 seedlings and environment signage to Caliraya , Laguna , as well as 1,000 seedlings to Ilagan , Isabela . Together with the CSR activity , IPC also introduced its 20th year logo with the theme “ 20 Years and Beyond ”, IPC ’ s anniversary logo depicts its journey from past to present while also showing the company ’ s commitment to provide excellent products in the years to come .
“ This event is just the start of a yearlong celebration for IPC , expect that we will bring in more products and events throughout the year ,” added Koso . ( R . Gregory , Malaya ) but still the demand is so much more than what Toyota can handle and produced . The waiting period is like 6 months or more depending on the color choices . 85 % of today ’ s customers conveys a high degree of control and more informed when they enter the showroom . And nowadays , because of the computer era . Everything is transparent . So , better be prepared for what ever comes your way because believe me or not , they knew more than us .
