Toyota Philippines will launch the Avanza in the Philippines soon. And they say that this will be the only model that should be converted into taxis. So future taxis will be this model:

Why does Toyota and Mitsu still make Tamaraw and L-300 still in the Phils. I swear we are the only country that still uses them and is like in love with them.

Wouldn't you want one of those Korean made Mercedez vans to replace the L300s and Tamaraws?

Maybe not
Reason: Easily stolen, Active on inner city routes, etc

cute car! also, the Philippines should have a single color scheme for taxis like the ones in Malaysia (taxis there are red and white as far as I remember and all look the same) and China (forgot the color of the taxis but they also look the same and the bio-diesel fuel operated taxis are colored green and white) because our taxis have different color schemes/style. It doesn't look good and I think it's less effecient.

Toyota does not make the Tamarraw FX anymore Its been replaced with the Innova.
But yeah, i dont know why Mitsubishi Philippines continues to make L300s.

@ sista - MMDA is encouraging all taxi operators to paint their cars white.
