Held from March 29 to April 1,
the 3rd Manila International Auto Show assembled some of the
country’s most gorgeous automotive models (and some of the human
female variety, too) on the display floors of the remaining World
Trade Center in Pasay City. Parked next to the new products of
participating manufacturers were exotic cars that bore hallowed
marques like Ferrari, Lambhorghini, Aston Martin and Jaguar. There
was even a Ford GT, not to mention the Nissan Skyline “Godzilla”
that came fresh from the Japan Touring Car Championship. Don’t
believe the ancient Hotdog pop ditty: Manila have more to offer than
“nagliliparang jeepneys.”
Here are some of the show’s
highlights.
Subaru’s scintillating stars
Think blue, think World Rally
Championship and Subaru comes to mind. So parked at the Subaru booth
at the show were Motor Image Pilipinas’—the official distributor
of Subaru vehicles in the country—potent lineup of Outback
crossover, Forester sport-ute, Legacy Wagon and Sedan, and a
signature WRC blue Impreza STI that’s virtually a rollcage away
from taking on the production car class of any world rally event.
