The question remains will the new MZ3 be still made in Laguna or sa Thailand na?

For sure by itself it won't, but it would give a big boost to the performance of its cars which will give them a big edge over the competition which then, along with competitive pricing, will be the key to a more successful market.

About dun sa plant, if they going to import everything for Thailand, what will become of the plant na?

And would it already be the facelifted versions that will be coming to us or are they going to do the same thing Nissan did with the X-Trail, Murano and Sentra 200?

With competitive pricing? It will never happen.

Korean and Japanese car makers are not yet ready for launching GDi engines here in the PH.

mazda 5, anyone?

OT:

Even if MZ3 are imported (The next gen Focus will be from Thailand.), Ford Phils will still use the plant for its export business. Last I read they were thinking of using it to assemble pick-ups.

Assemble pickups? Does it mean that the new Ranger and BT50 will be assembled here?

i've been hearing those words way back nung nasa alabang pa ko. even from FGP personnels when they visited the casa before. hopefully eh sana this time totoo na yan.
masyado na yatang late ang new 3?

for the guess part, hmm... i think a van would be also included sa 2012 line up nila, and that's just my wild guess. yung rumored new 6 (yung may soul of motion thingy) kasi eh mukang malabo pa

poor tribute... di na binuhay...

It looks llke the Minagi Concept will preview the replacement of the Tribute.

Its possibly a version of Ford's Vertrek

Aren't Mazda and Ford divorced already?

Not completely, Ford still owns a 3.5% stake in Mazda.

Besides, these cars have been in development for sometime already just like the all-new 2012 Mazda BT-50...

...and 2012 Ford Ranger
