                    [Summary] => Toyota Motor Philippines Inc. (TMPI) senior vice president Serafin Pantaleon  said yesterday that they expect the market share of passenger cars to increase to 35 percent from its current share of 25 percent following the passage of the new value-based excise tax.


Pantaleon said passenger car prices are expected to drop with the passage of the new tax scheme.


"At the same time, more vehicle models are expected to be introduced into the market once the new value-based excise tax is in place and engine displacements is no longer a consideration," Pantaleon said.
