Spark, Orlando are Chevrolet Philippines' best-selling cars

Yesterday, we reported the March 2012 sales figures of the members of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines. Not included in that list is the sales tally of Chevrolet. That's because Chevrolet Philippines is not a member of CAMPI. So we asked Chevrolet Philippines for its March sales numbers, and got the following figures.

For March, the best-selling Chevy was the Spark mini hatchback, moving 111 units. Second was the Orlando MPV, with 74 units. In all, the Spark has sold 332 units this year, while the Orlando has already sold 180 units since January. Overall, Chevrolet sold 294 units in March, bringing its year-to-date total to 866 units.

      probably chief, his point is that the title should be "Spark, Cruze etc... ;)
         
      • jetski Apr 14 2012 @ 08:55am
         
        the point of the title is which sell in rakes... Orlando has shown continues upsurge while Cruze declines in March..
           
        • bruce Apr 14 2012 @ 09:25am
           
          just pointing out the probable reason of damaso's post.. nothing more, nothing less.. i've read the feed and i fully understood it, regardless of how the title turned out to others and me as well..

    That was a good start for the Orlando btw, nagbebenta pa pala sila ng Aveo
       
  • mindkinetic Apr 13 2012 @ 07:54pm
     
    congratulations covenant/chevrolet for good start in the sales record of the orlando

    Rare talaga yang Camaro ng TCCCI dahil mga 5-8 units every 3 months ang dinadala nila sa Pinas.

    Daming bumili ng Orlando at Spark..Tumaas na ang presyo ng mga yan kaya malamang bumaba ang sales nyan soon.

    May dalawang uto-utong bumili ng Traverse..LOL!
       
    • hondajazz Apr 14 2012 @ 10:50pm
       
      na salestalk ng ahente yung bumili ng traverse!hahaha!biruin mo mas madame pa bumili ng camaro kesa sa traverse na yun.
         
      • BOOGIECAT Apr 15 2012 @ 05:37pm
         
        Kaunti rin naman ang Traverse 2WD at 4WD na dinala ng TCCCI dito..Medyo mas overpriced nga lang ang Dodge Durango..Mga November last year naging available yang re-stock ng Camaro sa dealers!
           
  • tidus1203 Apr 13 2012 @ 08:09pm
     
    Traverse is a FLOP, no match for the Explorer which is so in demand and haba ng pila.
       
    • iskwakalogz Apr 13 2012 @ 08:21pm
       
      haba ng pila? at that price tag?! tama hindi tlaga nagugutom ang pinoy hehehe ^_^V

  • carwiki9988 Apr 13 2012 @ 09:15pm
     
    Napaisip tuloy ako ng nickname: ORLY at SPARKY!! Hehehe...
       
  • Feeter Silverster Apr 13 2012 @ 09:16pm
     
    @VBS, damaso pointed out that Cruze is also doing good but not reported as best selling car sa title ng article, when Orlando which got 1 less sales is coined.
       
  • Vernon B. Sarne
    Vernon B. Sarne Apr 13 2012 @ 09:25pm
     
    We were citing the March sales figures. The Cruze's 181-unit tally is year-to-date, meaning January to March.
       
  • dsobreo Apr 13 2012 @ 10:04pm
     
    Ito ang breakdown! Sana may ganito din sa lahat ng kotse sa Pilipinas!
       
  • gundam Apr 13 2012 @ 10:28pm
     
    title is misleading daw your honor. hahaha. kaya read up to the last dot. But there is only one best unless its a tie. so orlando should not be on the title. but thats just me.

      Yup, I agree, title is very misleading.

    • Feeter Silverster Apr 14 2012 @ 08:55am
       
      even though VBS explained, still mislead by the title

      Sparky, Orly are Chevy Philippines' best-selling vehicle in March...
      ^
      pwede na siguro ganito? :D

    I'm not surprised of the Spark, what I'm surprised of is the Orlando, w/c is a newbie but is now Chevy's best seller, I mean, its not kinda expected because..... well w/ its 1.8L gasoline engine that is being shared from the Cruze w/ is a sedan, powering a MPV from a compact sedan's engine will be a bit of a gas guzzler(its a 1.8, what do you expect?), kinda thirsty, according to what Sir Patrick told in the April issue that if you have a heavy right foot, the Orlando's fuel consumption can go as low as 5 km/l w/c is a bit of a problem because gas prices nowadays are getting high, a Diesel would be this vehicle's salvation. But I'm proud that even though its new in the market and it doesn't have a Diesel it still sells good, w/c is good for a newbie. Cheers!
       
    • dsobreo Apr 14 2012 @ 12:24am
       
      Ang mahal pa!
         
      • Kyoichi Sudo Apr 14 2012 @ 01:06am
         
        Yeah
           
      • Feeter Silverster Apr 14 2012 @ 08:58am
         
        Don't worry after 1 or 2 years ibebenta na nila agad yan for 2nd owner, or, iti- trade na nila for a diesel car, feeling ko lang.
           
      • jetski Apr 14 2012 @ 08:58am
         
        P1,888.888 Intro is acceptable... but it's P1,258.888 whew!...

      gUys majority of the pinoy market or even perhaps the world market would pick up a car/ sub/ mpv by firstly judging by it's looks secondary na yang issue about fuel consumption. why? accepted fact na its a borne responsibility in a car purchased. the truth is no car owners ( specially bramd new customers) gets to quibble about their fuel consumption . proof: parang bahay yan kung kaya mong bumili ng aircon you careless if it will add up tp your ebill for so as long as you get the convenience of a good cosy atmosphere. punto de vista: many orlando buyers recognized the good built quality of the product . i'm very strong in expressing how good chevrolet now is compared to its previous years of neglect from it's past administration. fast forwad; today the overseer in covenant are managing the company to the best of their skills. in fact: ng pautangin ang chevy to bounce back from their fall they were given 5years to pay their debt and it took them only 2 years to completely pay all of their debt. which means: they are doing well in managing the corporation and this includes building vehicles with current aesthetics value endowed with formidable engine technology. finally: to preclude the brand from a buyers choice only because of a pool of other choices is deprivation of a fresh choice. lastly prive is very relative: let us all admit what we know is just tip of the ice berg. we only see the price tag as high or low due to our rough comparisons from another brand ( not withstanding our loyalty to certain brand which sometimes cloud our judgement). chevy / covenat has a pool of think tank committee like other brands too an carefully enough pinagaaralan kung tama ba ang price positioning ng isang brand. in the end its the buyer who decides and the figure shows so far the spark, cruze and now the orlando is well accepted by the filipino market.

    Surprisingly, wala pa akong nakakasabay na Orlando sa daan.
       
    • fortis Apr 14 2012 @ 01:10pm
       
      yeah, me too. I only saw one when it was displayed at Trinoma. I think that was last year.
         
    • Kyoichi Sudo Apr 15 2012 @ 11:18pm
       
      I saw one kanina in ATC
         
  • Feeter Silverster Apr 14 2012 @ 07:32pm
     
    As I read the article about the Orlando on Top Gear magazine, the driver/ author indicates it gets 8 km/L on light foot driving, he also guessed a 5 km/L on spirited driving and heavy traffic crawls. FC of a Chevy Suburban on a cheaper Orlando, wow!
       
  • hondajazz Apr 14 2012 @ 10:55pm
     
    andami na palang bumili ng orlando.pero bakit kahit isa wala pa kong nakikita sa daan.parehas kame ni RS500.
       
  • BOOGIECAT Apr 15 2012 @ 01:12am
     
    598K na ang Spark 1 Liter A/T variant..Mas mahal pa sa Celerio A/T na nasa 570K lang..

    Parang Kia kung magpresyo tong TCCCI..
       
  • carwiki9988 Apr 15 2012 @ 09:08pm
     
    I saw one! Haha ;)
       
  • car_mac Apr 16 2012 @ 09:39am
     
    dumadami na ang sales ng full size SUV ng chevrolet...mas marami pa akong nakakasabay na suburban kesa sa orlando eh
       
  • maranello_5775 Apr 18 2012 @ 03:44am
     
    i thought TCCCI no longer sells the tahoe in the local market. It's not even included in their website
       
  • paologo13 Apr 19 2012 @ 02:56pm
     
    Is this the reason why the sales agent I talked with pegs the price of Spark 1.2 LT MT at 648K in addition to the fact that it is a provincial dealership?
       
  • lsdgenie Apr 23 2012 @ 05:08pm
     
    @paologo13 - I don't know the price in the provinces, but the Spark 1.2 MT sells for 598k in MM, with the Spark 1.0 AT the same price (This is the listed price, and you usually can get discounts pa).

    After looking at multiple mini compacts over the past two week, I feel they're all practically the same specs (and price) wise, most coming within 50k of each other.

    Given that, it boils down to looks, brand-name, and promos for consumers to base their decision on which to get.
