My old Carina GT was advertised as "Carina GT Turbo" when I first went to see it. People just put words to make the ad sound nice! LOL

The one offered for the permit will have fabric interior as opposed to leather on the one they normally offer. Als o the spare wheel will be a steel wheel mounted under the body. The one they are offering for the permit is almost identical to the mid grade Shogun Sport offered in the UK market. However the european reivews for the Montero sport are not all that positive. It's based on the L200 pickup chassis and hence the ride is known to be a bit bumpy and not as confortable as the bigger Montero. Comfort and equipment wise the Kia will be ahead of the Sport. But little is known about Kia's diesel engines.

Congrats! When is the treat?

Isn't it the sedan version of the Vitz?

The tax calculations given in that source might not be correct for all categories. For diesels it'll come close to 112%. But all is speculation. Not even the finance ministry have correct figures yet it seems.

You've been outta the country for too long dude. Time to come back and pay us a visit.

Mitusbishi has advertised thier petrol range for the permits today. Guess what, they are offering the Evo X contempory Lancer!

MRM, saw your uncle running the car.

According to sources they will launch the 2007 Corolla Axio (NZE 141)

Will be above 8 Mil for sure.

Is it just me or does this make any sense to anyone?

My personal preference is the Merc.

There are numerous Chinese cars that come even under US$3000. Saw an advert on the paper. Word has it that the permit terms were laid out so that a particular Chinese SUV importer can solely benefit.

Last night this above mentioned chairman came on the news. I hate to discriminate but he actually looks like a retard

I got news today that the request was turned down by the goverment. Do you have a copy of this particular circular?

Started building a house. So needed the cash.

My invitation has gone to the old address, what time is the kick-off? I'll be there with my cam even though I have already parted with my Mini.

The 320D will the 318i's ass anytime. LOL 320D has more bhp/tourque than the 318i and the the 0-100kmph time on the 320d is also less.

Best thing is be satisfied with what they gave, you don't always get the best things in life. That's life!

Good work Anuradha! Thanks for the pics.

The 25 % tax of the CIF value mentioned in the circular is only the percentages of duty and vat. Apart from that there's a cluase saying other taxes will be applicable, meaning endless taxes like port levy/ social reponsibilty tax will be added on top of this. For the diesel 2.8 ltr category the addition of the total taxes will be around 112.5% of the CIF value. Also keep in mind the normal duty for a diesel vehicle is around 300%. I would say the government has given the permit just for the sake of giving. They haven't paid attention to whether average person can afford it or not.

I doubt that the information you've got is correct. Coz, In*** Traders told me that I have no option but to get the car from agents. Also Toyota Lanka's comission is the lowest, only 150K.

Does the notorious 3 spoke Hola-mobile EK have leaf springs?

I hope everyone turns up for this. So far the turn out has been pathetic at official drag events.

It's an ML 55 AMG to be precise. Owned by Water's Edge owner
