[Title] => Volvo’s Stylish Station Wagon
[Summary] => There was once a time when the words "stylish" and "Volvo" could hardly be uttered in the same sentence. That was, of course, way before the Swedish engineers of Volvo realized that "safe" need not necessarily mean "boring". Gone are yesterday’s "boxes with wheels". Today’s Volvos are in fact among the most aesthetically appealing cars you can hope to find on the road. Their station wagons included (the multi-award winning XC70 immediately comes to mind).

[Title] => Second hand warranty, brand new quality
[Summary] => The Philippine automotive industry is a strange entity. With quirks and concerns unique to itself, it has spawned a buyer-seller relationship that is unlike any other in the world. For example, as it is common practice that barter in this market is often relegated to one-time transactions, nowhere else in the world are cars without warranties more sellable. As a result, the Filipino second hand car buyer is forced to take mediocre performance in stride — the necessary evil of obtaining less than brand new products. But should this necessarily be the case?

[Summary] => The MMDA had better watch it. They have a good thing going for the motorists by way of the OBR or the Organized Bus Route System. The traffic in EDSA has indeed thinned out since the time that only enough buses were allowed to ply the route as there are commuters needing them. Although despite the new system there are still quite a number of buses running in EDSA during off-peak hours that are half empty. But can you imagine their clogging numbers before the system was finally put into place?
