I sure hope they succeed in the Philippine Market... I hope they build quality cars at par with the existing players.
Ok na sana itong wingle kung bumaba pa ang price. at present 798K ang 4x2 manual with 2.8L diesel engine at 95 HP, 220 NM torque and Bosch equipped crdi engine medyo alangan ang tao bumili. Euro III compliant so tugma lang sa present diesel dito sa PI. I presume na ang kunsumo nito ay halos pareho ng 2.5L isuzu crosswind which is very good for the owner. Sana bumaba ito ng 700K I'm sure marami ang susubok.
Even at 798T, looking at the features/equipment loaded into, it compares to those Mitsu/Toyota/Ford counterparts costing 900T-1M. Medyo may lamang na. Paano pa yung local content pa?
Being tied to FMC, I tend to trust this outfit. My dad bought Mazdas from them during the 70s, and the last he bought from them are the Fiat Uno, Mazda family van, and B2500 pickup and (I think) the Hyundai H100. We disposed all of them, with the H100 just over a year ago, with a decade of service.
I'm eying this Wingle pickup too, but not buying in yet. I still have a house the renovate and will revisit that vehicle a year from now.
When will they start rolling out the locals?![]()
if you're eyeing on the wingle I think you should probably wait a little more...
kasi yung current model nila is the one imported from china pa which has the 2.8 liter engine...
In the works na daw kasi yung locally assembled na wingle with the 2.5 CRDI Intercooler turbo...which punch outs 300nm of torque....mas malakas sa 2.5D4d ng toyota na nakakabit sa innova saka fort...
But thats according to the paper though....

OK to ah. Finally we have a Chinese car deserving of its Japanese donor's platform. Though I wish, like Foton, they'd change the name.![]()
