If its really bad, then I'll consider getting a new NHR thru financing or a used Isuzu or Mitsu truck. However, if Foton has decent build quality, then I'll look at it at their big show.
Hehe~ Pinagproblemahan pa ang parts dahil China engine, walang makunan ng piyesa so strictly casa maintained at ang mahal mahal...

Genuine Isuzu parts? I really doubt it. It would've cost them quite a bit to import parts from Isuzu Japan and they can just license the design and produce the whole engine themselves. But then I suppose you can easily replace those parts with genuine Isuzu when the time comes to do so. The other thing I'm worried about is the rust. Like the Koreans ten years ago, the Chinese have yet to perfect their rustproofing techniques.

I have more faith in Foton as I see quite a lot of them around lately, and even more when various government agencies started buying Foton vehicles.In particular, the QC government bought droves of Foton Tornado's for the barangays. By the looks of it, so far so good.
