If you're a car aficionado, it's impossible for you to have missed this great television commercial on the debut of the Toyota Corolla Altis featuring Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt.

Yes, I know, guys shouldn't care about Brad Pitt's endorsement of a car brand, but you've got to hand it to the guys that conceptualized the commercial. They knew Brad could convey the message that driving a Toyota Corolla Altis is either cool or makes one look cool.

Brad Pitt isn't the only selling factor of this classic car commercial. There's also the theme song, Shake Your Bon-Bon by Ricky Martin. Here's an excerpt from the lyrics:

I'm a desperado
Underneath your window
I see your silhouette
Are you my Juliet
I feel a mad connection
With your body
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon
Shake your bon-bon

Not much impact there, but if you listen to the song, you'd probably agree with me that Brad Pitt plus a catchy tune made waves for the sales of the Toyota Corolla Altis back in the early 2000s. Oh, just check out the video:

Here's this month's price guide for Ford Group Philippines Inc.'s lineup of cars and monster trucks. The image of the price list is a little large, so pardon the slow loading time. As usual, I'm including a link to our favorite currency converter, Oanda, to help resident aliens and expatriates with their conversion needs. Today's interbank rate is USD 1 = PHP 48.97. Yes, the peso is continuing its down slide.

In a hurry to compute? Well, that's why I have installed that nifty Currency Converter gadget from Google.

Check out the price list below:

Like in previous installments of Price Check, all prices in the list are subject to change without prior notice.
