China gets Delica pregnant & ships it off to Mexico.

[bob]

Chinese Delica (L-300) to be exported to Mexico. May help with spares, and misc. LHD bits.

The "refreshed look", should read "knocked up look". Scroll past the pregnant L-300, and there is a hippopotimized Delica. The Dodge version features "motor hemi(R)". Broom broom.

the scary part is that due to NAFTA, in a few years we'll be able to import that new Chinese L300 from mexico, but still not the ones from Japan... even though the Chinese ones are often considered to be a bit more suspect on the safety side of things...

FUGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember when "Made in Japan" meant crap?! Hard to believe...

[bob]

Does it matter if they are crap or not? You're not actually prepared to be seen driving one are you? Think of your poor kid - drop him off to school in that thing and other kids will beat him up.

If I understand properly the ugly delicas have been assembled exclusively in mainland China for a while and now...
"The [hippo-] Delicas will be the first cars completely manufactured in Fujian [mainland China] to be exported" ...to Iran, Syria and a few other places, so there is a chance that George Bush may blow them up.

It says the Dodge L-300s are being made in Taiwan and are on the Dodge Mexico webiste as the Dodge 1000 (Spanish). $179,900 pesos seems to equal $16,500 CDN. (BTW: Dodge Caravans are made in Windsor Ontario).

Afterthought: The L-300 seems to be styled on circa 1966 Dodge A-100. Now, now with a new grill, Dodge is selling the L-300 as the Dodge 1000.

It's a LWB with a big fugly nose and grille. What a difference the slightest of modifications can make...

[Modsqwad]

Shame about the face! Looks like the nose job when wrong.

it reminds me of those "turn your vw bug into a rolls royce" body kits from the 70's.

Hot butter face...

Although I'm certain the parts will be second to none in terms of quality and reliability.

Just don't eat any.
