Not only Hilux but Conquest has joined the mix
IN its fourth virtual vehicle launch this week, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) unwrapped the new Hilux and the Conquest. Here’s the speech of Atsuhiro Okamoto, the TMP president, during the digital media presentation.
“I would like to thank all of you for your constant support to Toyota. And while we are far apart, we are glad that each of our online events is met with excitement.
“We share that feeling of anticipation, so I will not keep you waiting any longer. Today we are proud to unveil the refresh of an iconic powerhouse.
“Media friends, let me present to you the new Toyota Hilux and Toyota Hilux Conquest!
“The world-famous Hilux has been the consistent segment leader in the Philippines since 2015. Through the years, Hilux owners have enjoyed their vehicle’s
tough looks, powered by Toyota’s signature quality, durability, and reliability. Let us not forget that the Hilux is just so fun to drive, whether at work or at play.
“This 2020, the New Toyota Hilux and Toyota Hilux Conquest arrive with an impressive new look, that is more rugged and exciting than ever.
“The new Hilux is designed to meet the tough demands of Filipino drivers and the country’s varying roads. I am confident that the Hilux would once again prove why it is the Philippines’s pick-up of choice. Tough on every road, every inch a Hilux.
“Thank you very much. Maraming salamat po!”
So there. Short but sweet.

PEE STOP
God hears and next listens. That was proven again when Vernon B. Sarne, the former boss of Top Gear PH and now Visor chieftain, got hit recently by aneurysm, and miraculously survived it via an operation. Definitely, the rain of prayers from friends, relatives and even strangers implored to pitch in a “little prayer” combined to storm the gates of heaven. Vernon is now up and about. Praise the Lord!
