Before, there is a television channel here in the Philippines that features cars of different model and brands from all over the world. Its title is The Auto Show. It features expensive cars and showcased car features from different brands. It was hosted by a popular matinée idol so that it can attract more audience, lol.
I remember they were the first once to showcase the features of a Porsche sports car on TV in the Philippines. They compare car to another car. Its like the Pinoy version of Top Gear.
They also put advertisements like people who sell cheap but high quality cars. My fathers friend actually bought two of his cars from a dealer in the show. It was an old GMC truck, and the other was a newer model, a Land Cruiser form Toyota.
Every time I watch the The Auto Show, I really focus because I really love cars. One time my mother would ask me to buy something for her in the middle of the show. I ended up being sermoned because I didn't follow her, I was such a silly kid that time.
Unfortunately, in 2005 the show closed. I don't know why but maybe because that time high end cars are only a new thing to the Philippines, and it wasn't that successful because the economy that time was falling and the only brands of cars the citizens would rather spend at are Asian brands like Japanese Toyota, Hyundae, Mitsubishi, Honda and a lesser popular brand of Kia.
But this year, the The Auto Show will resume airing after receiving a lot of encouragement letter. Its great to hear that. And I am like a kid waiting for it.
