Per se no one is investing in mainstream car manufacturing vehicle carrying a local brand.
But per se they are Pinoys who are investing in car manufacturing in joint venture with Japanese companies i.e. George Ty and Toyota, Isuzu and local partner, Honda and local partner.
I cant say about Ford if its whollyowned or with local investors.
Hari and Hyundai are on CBU only.
Columbian Motors of Alvarez? and Kia are CBU only.
Allen Roxas and Great Wall of China might go into CKD using temporarily the former FMC plant in Las PInas for assembly oprarations.
Now, the pukpok native industry is still alive and kicking but not at the same level that it attained during the golden era of Pinoy AUVs.
umm... you don't have to tell me on who invested in toyota, honda phils. etc
I KNOW that
we both know i wasnt referring to them (Toyota, Honda Phils., etc) in my post
a pinoy made car can't make it to market to prove that it can make money so it can attract capital coz the car maker lacks capital to create a car that can make it to market to prove it can make money
dito kailangan yung "thinking-out-of-the-box". there are ways. there will always be a way to do something. example: virus makers

whatever stuff you need to factor in, my question stays. ganun na lang ba? dapat ba scared na tayo? hanggang dito na lang ba?
I am not saying we should be scared. I am saying you should be prepared for what will be needed to pull such a venture off the ground. Many people under estimate the kinds of things/skills and amounts of money needed to get a venture going.
And honestly, wishful thinking isn't one of them.

example:
have you seen those unfinished condo buildings?
not enough capital for the entire project
just enough to get construction started
depended on pre-selling to finance the completion of the building
eto naman pala e. e diba yan nga ang baby steps na sinasabi ko. now would you like to throw-in ideas to help conceptualize a pinoy car that can actually make money locally? or trip mo lang mag demotivate.
Agree here.
I hope to see more alternatives to help conceptualize a pinoy car (sedan) that can make money.

wishful thinking is a start. just a start. without it. wala rin.
