The vibe I got was that Mister Mike (of the 100K used car thread) is just an over-opinionated guy who pulls priceless "gems" out his ass.

This is also the fellow who said that the Picanto and Getz are overhyped and overpriced compared to the Suzuki/Maruti Alto. Probably without driving or even getting into any of them.

Personally I hope he doesn't come back.

Edit: oops he's back. Wala bang IP block dyan.

Mike: the point is, this is a thread for speculating and designing. It's our time we use when we post here. So if you don't want your time wasted..

Go off to your friendly Suzuki dealer. I'm sure they will gladly sell you that three-banger. Until then, since you don't have anything even remotely useful to add to this thread except your whining, why don't you leave and join the Suzuki Alto Happy Owners' Club?

He is the same troll who dared question the character of the superintendent who got killed while moonlighting.

*Mike - if you think discussing plain designs is a waste of time, then don't be stupid as to hang around in this thread. Scoot over to other threads where you can comprehend the discussion.

*orly - in all probability this guy is either using dial-up (with dynamic IP) or moving from internet cafe to internet cafe.

Gentlemen,

I deleted all off topic posts and as one member suggested: DON'T FEED THE TROLL.

makikisali lang po sa discussion...
regarding the last sketch posted by sir oyil....it seems to be in the same length as the anfra transporter..isn't it? I think it would be more advisable kung kasing length lang sya ng revo, crosswind..or at the most, ung innova.....this will ensure that mas madali syang i-maneuver especially jan sa manila na very crowded ang mga roads...lalo na ung mga hindi major arteries.....then magkaron na lang ng two models...a 3-door model (targeted for transport groups with seat arrangement similar to jeepneys) and 5-door model(multi-market target with seat arrangement similar to most AUV's or better yet, seat arrangement of the 5-door model will have 2 options).....

Hi pobreparin,

Thanks for the input. Actually in determining the overall dimensions of the PhUV, we considered the requirements of the target market (mainly OCWs and entrepreneurs), both within Manila and in the provinces. One requirement that we often heard from those in the provinces is the ability to transport 4x 8 boards (plywood, lawanit, hardiflex, g.i. sheets, etc.) efficiently - which means loading them flat on the bed. Thus, the overall dimensions, including length, were heavily influenced by this criterion.

Another requirement that was consistently brought up (both in Manila and in the provinces) was the ability to transport a maximum number of passengers. However as you indicated, maneuverability is an important issue. Thus, the dimensions have to adhered at most close to a mid-sized SUV while still fulfilling the first criterion.

As for models, there is no one model that can serve the total market. By making our PhUV configurable (van, AUV, jeepney, pick-up), we can at least extend our target market range.

For the commuter-type market, we are actually considering an inexpensive three-wheeler type. Note operative word - considering.
