    I think the current Mitsubishi Colt is only manufactured in 2 plants, the one in Japan and the one in the Netherlands for Europe.
    Last time I checked I think they only make RHD Colts in Japan, and it would be too expensive to import a LHD model from Europe.

    sayang .
    di kaya naiisip ng mga car manufacturer kung saan maganda i market ang mga unit nila,mukhang patok sa pinas ito dahil sa traffic ,
    kmusta kaya ang fuel consumption ng Colt?

    That is one hot hatch. :drool:

    Sarap ihataw ng Version-R sa expressway. Pati yung ahente ko sa Diamond Motors nanghihinayang na hindi dadalhin dito yung Colt.

    Wala pang LHD platform ang Colt.

    Siguro for Europe (yung mga gawa sa Netherlands) pero the LHD platform is only available for them and not for release to Asia (Europe-exclusive)

    So there will be no LHD Colts that will be manufactured from Japan.

    P.S. :

    AG4/AM2, kung naalala mo, it is similar to the JDM Odyssey (parang Honda China won't lend the LHD platform to anyone else but themselves)

    Well, basically what AG4/AM2 said.

    They don't manufacture LHD Colt units in Japan (100% pure RHD assembly line for this model).

    The Necar factory, which was a joint collaboration factory between Mitsu and Daimlerchrysler, is the only one that produces both LHD and RHD units ng Colt for the European market (at siguro pati na rin sa South Africa).

    One of the reasons was already stated by AG4 pero another reason could be that production at the Necar factory is only for Europe and that due to contracting provisions, the management (big guns at Mitsu Europe/Daimlerchrysler) may not allow to sell any units beyond its European jurisdiction.

    Add this up and we may never see the light day for the Colt (baka sa next-gen model pa nito).

    By the way its called NedCar, not Necar, its short for(Netherlands Car BV).

    I guess Mitsubishi didn't think there was going to be a market for a sub-compact like the Colt in other Asian countries.
    I was wondering, how many LHD countries are there in Asia, and how many of these countries favor sedans over hatchbacks?
