Nissan Motor Co PH to return this year

^Parang wala nang Nissan Diesel dito.

UMC has been around for quite a while indeed. Kinda reminds me also of DMG (Volkswagen) before.

It's quite logical to merge NMPI-Yulon and UMC (and kick out Yulon). Maliit na nga lang ang Philippine market.

I still see brand new UD trucks roaming around the metro in the form of buses. Engine and chassis only, then off to a bus body builder (Santa Rosa?). The older generation Nissan cars being distributed by UMC were the Laurel, 180B, 160B. Too bad they did not bring the Skyline (Hakosuka) here locally.

Re: DMG. The oldest and still operating VW workshop I've seen must be the one along Hanselma highway, from Baguio going to La Trinidad. It's still complete, along with the classic VW workshop sign.

come on... admit it, its not really the Juke you want to see.... you want to see the Juke R with the "Z" mechanicals.

It's about time! I thought they were just gonna let the competition eat them up every year. Nagising na rin sila sa wakas. They can bring in Sentra, Note, Juke, Evalia, Pathfinder and diesel Xtrail first. I'm sure the they will also bring in Datsun in the future.

That Juke-R shamed the Veyron on the quarter mile. And the gap wasn't even a car length upon reaching a mile mark. Impressive for the Juke.

Daming VW running around Baguio it seems.

We had the Datsun/Nissan Laurel and 180B before (back in the mid to late 80s).
