Why is that? Because it's Filipino-made, it's garbage? Care to clarify this?

Made by a 21 year old.

It has Rota wheels on it though, so you know it's a legit supercar.

I'm curious to see how Clarkson and them will insult the Philippines like they did to Mexico after concerning the Mexican super car.

10 years in development. If they tested them on the less than pristine roads in Manila and the Provinces then from a durability stand point it should be pretty good. From a high speed testing perspective , there are now racetracks on the former Military bases; Subic International Raceway (formerly Subic Bay Naval Base) and Clark Speedway (formerly Clark Air Force Base). Both are about 2 hours from Manila.

i dunno if i'd trust a car with "dangerous" as a characteristic in it's debut commercial... i'm filipino if that has any relevance.
