Dubbed as an industrial center with its growing population of 2,377,395 residents, the city of Batangas is expected to be another significant market for Chevrolet in southern Luzon. Chevrolet Batangas marks the 24th full sales and service outlet that Chevrolet operates in the Philippines—a testament to the growing strength of the brand as more and more Filipinos are beginning to trust, patronize, and Love this Chevy.

Space, power, refinement, and comfort are prime qualities expected of an “executive” level midsize sedan. For the longest time, the class has been dominated by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, and only fairly recently has Mazda given serious competition with their sporty 6. Nissan used to have its own entry in the big-and-heavy Cefiro during the early to mid-00’s, and just a few years back tried to go for even larger with the yacht-like Teana. This time around, and as part of the renaissance going on with the consolidated Nissan that has combined its trucks and passenger cars into one entity, they are going for a more understated, yet even more refined entry with the Altima. Those of you who remember the pickings for a midsize car back in the 90’s will recall that the Altima was the bigger brother of the Sentra. It had soapbox styling, a rather coarse 2.0-liter engine, and was a sort of neither-here-nor-there car like the Toyota Corona. You might still see a few running around these days, the bodies and mechanicals obviously having seen better days. It eventually gave way to the Cefiro, which made no apologies for its DOM-ish appeal. The new Altima shares nothing with the old one save for the name, and gives prospective owners a peek at what it might be like to own an Infiniti.
