Performance car gets top plum in Philippine Car of
the Year awards
|
|
IN a diverse mix—if not mix-up—of vehicle models, categories and
testing methods, Subaru emerged the big winner in the 2008 Car of
the Year-Philippines (CoTY-P) awards as the new Forester 2.5 XT won
best four-wheel drive crossover/wagon and the Impreza WRX STI as the
best sports car/sedan. The Impreza WRX STI also took the event’s
top award, having been named the 2008 Car of the Year.
In 2007 the previous-generation Forester also
won best crossover/wagon while the old-model Impreza WRX took the
best sports car/sedan honors. The Subaru vehicles that won this year
are genuine introduced-in-2008 models.
