The Japanese government will tell you that Japan is an open market and that the same regulations apply to every manufacturer.

We’re all familiar with Geely SUVs.

The latest video commercial for the Mitsubishi Triton is probably among the better Malaysia-produced ads for a pick-up truck, if not the best. Produced by Five55 Production, the ad left a lasting impression in our minds mainly because of its driving scenes, which was done by two-time Dakar Rally champion Hiroshi Masuoka.
