Last April, Maruti-Suzuki of India was caught testing the exciting Suzuki Swift Sport.
That got me thinking. Since Suzuki PH offers cars mostly from Maruti-Suzuki of India, why can’t they import this hot hatch in the Philippines!?
Plus I point out the lack of fun affordable sporty cars in the Philippines.

[UPDATE] Two weeks ago, Maruti confirmed that The Swift Sport will not arrive in India.
One thing I noticed about the Philippine automotive market, let’s set aside their vanilla local car selections and focus on their love affair with Nissan Jukes.
This weird-looking crossover captures the hearts of many Filipinos as I’ve seen many of them roaming the Metro Manila streets!
Since the first-generation model has long passed on with no direct replacement in sight at the moment. I would think of offering the second-generation Nissan Juke would be a logical choice for Nissan PH to market.
By now, mainstream Philippine outlets are torn between this Juke or the other small (but blandly-designed) CUV the Nissan Kicks.
