Crosswind

Looks like a MkII Ford Cortina

Saw this in an ad in Lankad**pa last week - "Clutch eka paagala istart" model

You are right. Tercel 4WD (aka Toyota Carib). Great car if you want to drive on the estates. Some pics:

Edited

Let me take the turn till harshansenadhir comes up with the next one. This is a exceptionally good version of one of the most boring cars in the world. I'd love to get hold of one if I can find one in very good condition.

I'm not saying they are misguiding or cheating but trying to put down recon vehicles so that they can sell their own product. It's just a bad marketing tactic. In this desperate effort, they even claim that JDM vehicles are less safer than vehicles that are imported to Sri Lanka!

I'm determined to get this one right. Bluebird SSS.

That was the first thing that came to my mind too. But as I remember, the pre-facelift G11 Charade had the signal light close to the front door. This didn't look like a G10 charade either... anyway I'm curious

Looks like a Starlet from early 80s. My guess is KP61.

Ok, then my apologies for afzGTR and I retract my statement. Sorry buddy.

I don't know about you guys but I seem to smell guerilla marketing here

All I saw there was "please please pretty please don't buy any recon vehicles from Japan cos they are no no no no good in Sri Lanka... please please buy from us... Thank you".

If I'm not mistaken, the rear of VE and VF Commodores look nearly the same. The difference was in the front and inside (what they call the Holden IQ System, and dualmode climate control, electronic stability control and so on). That's a 2009 VE Omega (Omega is the basic trim level of the Commodore with ONLY 3.0litre V6 ). Commodore comes with a dozen or so trim levels. Highest being the SSV with the 6.0 litre V8 Engine .

Comes with a 1.6CC Engine and four disk brakes. Only 3 door afaik. Never driven one though. I prefer a chevy cruze

Yup u r right. I thought this was the original shell. http://www.productioncars.com/gallery.php?car=9092&make=Isuzu&model=Aska

Nop. This car is wider than the AE80 and the bumper/signal light on the AE80 is different. Nevertheless this is a Japanese car.

Thx let me take the floor then. Another one from the 80s. Not sure if the shell is original.

Didn’t have anything much to do this weekend Also apologies if something similar has been posted before. Warning: For the benefit of folks who are at a much higher intellectual state than me, this is meant to be a JOKE. Here we go: Showroom Condition: Full catloy cover on the body, Sale paint and interior cleaned with vim Excellent condition: Owner is too stingy for a sale paint.

Petrol tank is loose from removing it too many times to steal petrol. Feel free to add. Cheers!

Does it look like this? VX and VZ are past models. New one is the VF Commodore. http://revocars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Holden-VE-II-Commodore-SSV-2011-Front-Rear-View.jpg Prior to 2009, there was VE Commodore, which looked like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/2008-2009_Holden_VE_Calais_V_sedan_03.jpg

How about starting AutoHybridLanka.com

Now I'm drooling.... If you guys have any info about the Commodore, please post. Would love to see if its an HSV Commodore. If its just a commodore... its not too special because the same car is made by Daewoo and Opel with their own brandings. Still an awesome ride though. The only Holden I've seen on a road in Sri Lanka in the past 5 years is a 1972 Holden UTE with a 40-Sri plate. Not really in a good condition since its been used as a workhorse. I seriously doubt if it still has the Holden engine in it.

Just for the heck of it, I voted YEAH! Unfotunately we love in a democracy, so we have to allow everyone to voice their opinions and concerns... no matter how perverted it can be So if the poll is for real, then I would be against it:D (PS. No offense intended)

Option 1: Talk to Nevil whoever and see what can be done. Option 2: Talk to the Japanese auctioneer and explain the situation to them. They are very well aware of changes like this. Try to use the same deposit to get another car within 2 year limit. Option 3: Talk to a bank and see if they can backdate an LC. You may need to pull some strings for this. Option 4: Seek a court order if you can. Not an easy/cheap/quick job. Option 5: If the deposit is refundable, get out of the deal.

I lived in Adelaide (and a few other Aus cities) and in few other 'developed' and 'developing' countries. The fact is people everywhere - be it the poorest African nation or the richest nation - people spend their disposable income on something or the other. That's why it's called DISPOSABLE income! Aussies spend a large percentage of their disposable income on alcohol and travelling to places like Bali. Sri Lankans spend it on cars. So what?
