I guess darating sa pinas ito thru grey market.
Ang lapit lang kaya nang China.

ayos yan gawing H badge tapos sa tuktok may TAXI na nakakabit

[Gecko Guy]

If the maintenance is cheap and the parts are cheap then pede ngang taxi to. That would be nice!

di lang Honda

Dongfeng Motor also has joint ventures with Kia, Nissan, Peugeot-Citroen

How is a rebadged Civic a rip-off?

Ayaw mo ng rip-off? Puede rin knock-off.

Both means blatant copy or imitation.

---
Rebadged means same car different name.

Ang magkakaintindi ko nilipat lang ang mold sa local assembler para-pakinabangan. Not everything is Honda.

Sa same logic applies to MD Jeepstar with their Jeep Willys. Not because it looks and feel the same, rebadge na.

Jeep Willy

^diba ang honda civic EK, may counter part din ng isuzu so na rip off din pala ng isuzu ang EK civic?

[uls]

is it so hard to understand what dongfeng did?

proton wira - mitsu lancer itlog

hyundai galloper - 1st gen Pajero

1st gen starex -- mitsu space gear

Di naman lahat rip-off eh. May iba na licensed copy talaga. Kung talagang parehong pareho hanggang sa engines and mechanicals, eh siguradong licensed copy yan, like with the Joylong Hiace, which copied even the 2KD engine.

baket parang nagagalit yung iba dyan?

nag joint venture ang China automakers with foreign automakers

foreign automakers let the China automakers use their platforms, ano problema dyan?

nabawasan ng pogi points ang honda eh.

an FD for the price of a city. tapos dagdag ka lang ng 10K for badges and steering wheel pwede mo na pa PMS sa casa ng honda. ahahaha!

grabe ang progress ng auto industry ng china. Baka in a span of 5 years may mga super cars na yan to rival yun mga lambo, ferrari and the likes na 10 to 15 years ago yun technology. Diablos, f355, etc...
