The 2nd Philippine International Motor Show was held last week at the World Trade Center. The main theme was promoting cars with alternative energy sources, especially Hybrid Cars. I took a lot of photos of the cars that I found interesting like this Audi R8 which probably costs millions of pesos. I think this is the closest I will get to a car like this - hahaha! There are several pictures of other luxury cars as well - especially the new models of BMW. If there’s one thing common about the new cars, they’re all modern looking and kinda… pricey. ^^;

Here’s something new from General Motors:

OPTRA CNG

General Motors also introduced a new version of the OPTRA using CNG as fuel. It’s supposedly safer than LPG but it also costs the same. I was able to get a quick video interview of the manager on standby and he was kind enough to answer all of my questions as well as show me the new tank which is fitted at the back of the OPTRA. Here’s the interview:

INTERVIEW OF GENERAL MOTORS MANAGER ON ALTERNATIVE FUEL CARS

I won’t bother posting about Honda because I already made a separate post for the new Jazz and I’m coming up with one more post about Toyota’s new limited edition VIOS. Cheers everyone!
