CMIIW, but the VW Sakbayan was neither a Philippine-designed nor -manufactured vehicle; it wasn't even exclusive to the Philippines. Known as the Country Buggy from Volkswagen Australia, it was also exported to New Zealand, Singapore and several other small countries in the Pacific.

the sakbayan was re-engineered by filipinos. when parts from the australian version ran out, they had to modify it to use brazilian sourced parts. and it was manufactured here, by DMG. i didn't know that it was exported, though

From the looks of it, the only re-design the Filipinos did was adding a hard top and doors.

* OyiL,

ung Isuzu KC20 ba yung may 4 na headlights? meron sa subdivision namin na mapormang ganun dati. ewan ko kung nasaan na.

i might be wrong pero yung Ford Fiera was designed in the Middle East. I read that in a very old Popular Mechanics Magazine sa library ng school namin.

anyway,

Parejo
Trac
Sprinter (hehehe, uso dati sprinter na face sa AUV)
