                    [Summary] => One of the biggest ironies in the local car industry is the fact that the world’s biggest car company — the one with the most mind-bogglingly diverse line of nameplates, brands, models and variants — has one of the smallest market shares here.	Sure, General Motors Automobiles Philippines (GMAP) has one of its best-selling vehicles in the U.S. market here (the Chevrolet Silverado), not to mention one of the best-selling brands in Europe (Opel) available locally as well.

After all, exactly a week ago we were bound for the same destination with the same route of flying in to Bangkok to be followed by an hour and a half shuttle to Pattaya for the same purpose — a test drive.

All were against the idea. Even those who do not leave inside such fenced-in villages join in the howl of protest. Allow me to print for you some parts of two of the letters I received.
