    Madami ding mga Chevy Astro dun saka mga Suburban na Chicano ang porma. hehehehe. Matatawa ka na lang pag nakita mo.

    Although may ibang rules din na kailangan i-adopt sa Japan before an LHD vehicle can be sold like dapat dilaw ang signal lamps when lit and dapat tucked ang tires under the fender (with allowance). Kaya ng mga Vette dun may fender flares pa.

    Nope, hindi lang po sa Pinas. Dito sa USA, may mga RHD din sa highway kung minsan. I saw an old Land Rover D90 once, while a good buddy owns a Land Cruiser from Australia....
    thats interesting.

    lexus LS400 (LHD) = toyota celsior (RHD)
    lexus LS300 (LHD) = toyota windom (RHD)
    lexus ES (?)300 (LHD) = toyota soarer (RHD)
    lexus T(?)450 (LHD) = toyota landcruiser (RHD)
    lexus (????) (LHD) = toyota RAV4 (RHD)

    ...and so on....

    explorer,

    Yup, there are JDM equivalents to Lexus models. But for the Japanese, it is extremely cool to be driving around in a 'real' Lexus (yung LHD).

    yup, i agree. it's the prestige that they get for driving a japanese brand that is able to beat the american luxury brands and even compete head to head with some german luxury brands. japanese people love to see/feel/touch/taste what is the most popular/reputable brand in the world specially if is a brand that is owned by a japanese corporation. there was a time that although the toyota equivalent was more fully packed with added features (voice activated/command navigator/tv/etc.) and was higher in terms of quality (being made in japan) compared to lexus (which is made in usa) but some japanese people insist i buying the lexus brand because they know that its the brand that they can be proud of (being able to beat the americans and compete with germans).

    someone mentioned to me that BMW does no manufacture RHD cars. is that true?

    mukhang mahirap naman sila maka penetrate ng japanese and British market kung ganun.

    i think we are the only country in the world that does not allow the opposite type driven car to run on our highways. i guess tama yung sinabi kanina, kahit saan mo pa ilagay ang upuan, marami pa ring tarantado na driver dito sa atin.
