yeah, anytime. its nice actually. I guess it would be better if you chromed the grille as well. Personally i would like it to have some flames on the side.

TABLETA PICKUP CONCEPT:




...hehe, design is leaning towards the jeepney, grill makes a big impact i guess.

Hey Foifoi, I was thinking it may look more rugged when tied in with your tamaraw FJ concept. Maybe the flared front fenders, since your wheels are jutting out anyway, just to tie it in to jeepney roots.

Less prominent grills might make it easier to fabricate too. I think I can see how it can be done tho, each of the prominent grills can all be made of curved bars (round or square) attached to a frame, very easy to do and much better looking than chicken wire (which makes me think they're holding in meek poultry instead of a caged beast of an engine LOL). That makes it modular too, each can be replaced separately if damaged, making recovery from an accident cheaper.

This thing is growing on me!

Foi, your movement toward the Jeepney theme is a MAJOR advancement to a very Pinoy and fabricable concept vehicle. Suddenly, it's Pinoy -- it has a visual connection to the PUJ, tapping into native automotive history. No need to wait until its uniqueness is verified. It's already BOTH Pinoy and unique. It's so WYSWYG and straightforward. Not contrived at all. Straightforward tends to be economical.

I can foresee that we do not have to explain why we tried hard to meet the style standards of Jags, Beemers, Mitsus and Ferraris ... and failed miserably. Tableta is capable of setting its own standards because it's beginning to speak its own style vocabulary. Like the PUJ, it invites a splash of colors, and provides generous surfaces for jeepney art.

It's cartoonic, awakening our attraction to the young, the simple, the cute.

I can already hear the kids telling their Dads, "Bilmoko!". If Dad can't afford, we can provide paper toys for them, like http://papertoys.com/cartoon-car.htm -- great promo.

I don't think dudes would mind driving their girlfriends in a sport variant. As it is, wala pa nga siyang mags e, guwapo na. The slightly longer engine bay made it a few more years older than its toddler-looking predecessors. Put in a Hemi and it's HOT!

And it looks so easy to build! Makes you feel like buying sheetmetal tomorrow.

yung mga vitamins po

We just have to make sure that vitamins lang talaga yan, ha.

Hindi kung anu-anong tableta. Who knows? This might just be the medicine the local auto industry needs.

[SIZE="4"]Ooops, teka ... [/SIZE]

There's just one problem (with apologies to architect and ogpro) -- precisely with its butt.
I take it that the character and name Tableta derives from the shape of its sides. It's a capsule, which explains the cylindrical drum front ... and rear end. I can imagine a cylindrical tailgate for the pickup, but there's a problem with the AUV variant

We are unanimous that the commuter/AUV variant should have a 5th door that will be subject to a high rate of use. It looks to me like the rear end needs to be parted, left from right. The challenge facing us is how to provide that fifth door without truncating the tablet-shaped sides. And then to do so with a decent and deliberate look.

Let's give it more time to evolve.

so Dprox, I take it you're proposing putting "cheeks" on the Tableta's rear. I'm ALL for that idea.

In case any of you might have missed it...

There is history being made in this very thread.

mga sirs,

napansin na ng mga bigboys ng CAMPI ata yung mga patutsada ko sa kanila hehe.....o baka tatakot sa paglabas ni tableta?sabi ko na nga ba, natatakot na ang mga sobrang mahal na CAMPI made vehicles na mawalan ng market. Ang AUV at commercial vehicles, which constitute the bulk of the auto market in the Philippines, might be taken over by a well-made and quality PHUV. tingnan nyo news na ito....

Nissan may expand business in Philippines
By Daxim Lucas
Inquirer
Last updated 03:53am (Mla time) 06/26/2007
SINGAPORE -- Japanese automaker Nissan may expand its operations in the Philippines through its Filipino partner after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo assured the company’s chief of continued government support for the auto industry.
On top of this, Nissan is also interested in the assembly of light vans with high local content level in the Philippines.
These developments came to light after President Arroyo met with Nissan and Renault president and CEO Carlos Ghosn at the two-day World Economic Forum in this island state.
They were joined by the president of the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc (CAMPI), Elizabeth Lee, who is also senior vice president of Universal Motors Corp., the Philippine partner of Nissan.
Lee said, however, that her company would expand and strengthen its assembly operations for completely knocked-down (CKD) auto units in response to strong auto sales, brought about by the resurgent economy. “We’re experiencing the highest growth [in auto] sales right now,” she said. “Things are looking up.”
Amid the bullish outlook for local auto sales, Lee said CAMPI continued to seek government’s support for Philippine assemblers and parts manufacturers.
In particular, she said low-cost parts manufacturers in the Philippines needed more funding support from the government for them to improve their operations.
“Basically, we need incentives,” she said.
With government support, Lee said, Philippine manufacturers would be able to supply more automotive parts to assemblers overseas or to vehicle makers in the Philippines.
“Their quality is up to par,” she said. “They just need more support.”
CAMPI is holding discussions with the government for possible tax incentives to lower the cost of vehicles, allow members to expand their markets and improve their profitability. With INQUIRER.net
