The Mitsubishi Delica is a much-loved nameplate in the Philippines, for a time serving as the passenger-vehicle version of the Mitsubishi L300 light commercial vehicle. Mitsubishi Motors unveiled the Delica's next-generation successor, called the D:X Concept, at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show on Oct. 25, 2023.

It's long-standing, occasionally feel-good, sometimes head-scratching, and full of nostalgia. Most local folks feel the same about the Japanese diamond star nameplate.
