After a month-long news embargo, the latest piece de resistance of Mitsubishi Motors will be unwrapped today. As Mitsubishi will try and whet up public interest, the crowd-drawing Mall of Asia offers the perfect venue for the coming-out party of the 2008 Montero Sport– the newest evolution of the most dominant vehicle in the Paris-Dakar rally.
The 2008 Montero Sport actually had a sneak preview in last week’s 2nd Philippine International Motorshow at the World Trade Center. In keeping with the global embargo, the Montero Sport was guised as a concept vehicle in all its gleaming, factory-fresh glory.
But before the Filipino public could catch a glimpse of the newest SUV in town, the Russians held their exhibit ahead of the rest of the world.
A burgeoning appetite for luxury cars ranked the Russians among the superstars of conspicuous consumption and earned for them the bragging rights to parade the Montero Sport before the rest of the world could view, touch and feel the newest SUV in town.
“Last year, the Russian market gobbled up around 40,000 units of Mitsubishi vehicles,” said Mel Dizon, executive vice president of Mitsubishi Motors Philippines. That figure was already half of the total sales of vehicles made by all car makers in the Philippines in 2007.
That should explain why Mitsubishi had to ask for a blackout of news and photos about the Montero test in Thailand to make way for the Russians. Arlan Reyes, the affable PR manager of Mitsubishi, made sure we kept our end of the bargain by persuading all of us including the mavericks in our midst to sign a waiver.
While Mitsubishi gave the VIP treatment to the fast-growing Russian market, it honored a Filipino contingent with the envious role of being among the first to find out how the Montero Sport would behave under punishing conditions.
