Lets be honest driving round in a car with a little wheelbase on some Phill roads would loosen your fillingsPlus as others say the rule is the bigger car gets right of way and Phills aspire to be west coast Americans in SUV's on the whole..
Also from what I Understand costs are basically fuel, insurance seems to be un heard of and due to being near all the major manufacturers im sure many are the b grade products (that or the components dont need to comply with RoHS and other standards the west impose) many manufacturers seem to dump on Phill and other countries outside of the Western countries. Therefore reducing the cost greatly..
Cant speak about cars but seen my own companies factories and others
and know there are different lines for different markets sadly Phill gets the rough end of the stick..
