In the microcars website there is a link which directs you to the model designed in SL and theres a pic of it as well. Micro should have tried to develope the locally designed model and after that gone into manufacturing busses and other models.

Also read that they were planning to fix CCTV's in other cities as well.

What ever happened to the new Micro model that was designed in SL. They should develope that model and try and replace the 3 whelers or give some competition for the Nano.

Newsfirst along with Sirasa FM launched a unique programme today to report from a helicopter on the traffic situation on the entry roads to the City during the rush hours in the morning. The Newsfirst team took off from the Ratmalana airport on board a R-44 helicopter at 7.20am and kept a live commentary on the traffic situation of all entry roads to Colombo. From today, the Newsfirst team will keep a live update on the traffic to Colombo during the rush hour in the morning during week days. The commentary will also be aired on Shakthi FM, Yes FM and Y-FM. Check out the link as well. http://www.newsfirst.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15457:newsfirst-begins-airing-live-news-on-traffic-during-morning-rush-hour&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18 Source : newsfirst.lk

Thats right hope the vehicles will keep clear of the cameras. But on the other side even if any type of vehicles take out the camera posts the images would have already beamed back to the control room and recorded and stored and the driver will be in trouble. That might make bad drivers think twice.

Swift might be a good option. But not sure how they compare price wise.

There are more than one CCTV cameras at each junction and they face different directions. So i guess they might be able to get the number of the vehicle as well as the driver.

Over 300 errant drivers have been captured by the Close Circuit Television (CCTV) camera security network activated in Colombo on Wednesday, the CCTV department said. According to the department most drivers were seen to have violated road rules including instances of passenger buses idling at bus stands in the City, obstructing traffic, jumping the red light, changing lanes in violation of the rules and driving on the pavement. The CCTV department said that 150 errant drivers were captured on the cameras today alone and action will be taken against all these drivers in accordance with the law while images capured using the CCTV cameras will be used as evidence. Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa inaugurated the Close Circuit Television (CCTV) camera security network in Colombo on Wednesday. Over 100 CCTV cameras have been installed at 28 locations in Colombo as part of the initial stage and the cameras have been connected to monitors being watched by the police. The police will maintain vigilance through 105 CCTV cameras to combat crime and to carry out surveillance and to collect information.

Is there a difference in the Suzuki Ignis and the Swift. Is the Ignis manufactured in india and does it come in A/T as well. I guess the price must be less than the swift as well.

Happy New Year.

Fit would be a good choice. Are you looking at the unreg Fit Aria or the Fit hatch model.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe 2011.

Were you able to find a car in your price range yet or are you still looking.

Another thing i heard that the agents for the viva dont give test drives which i thing is absurd. Not sure if they have changed that policy or if they were out of demo cars to give customers to test drive.

I would say the Viva. Considering options wise the viva i think is better with things like fogs and full option as well as standard alloys. Not sure if the other 2 cars come with all these options. Friend of mine bought a viva M/T 1000cc and said that it was quite nice to drive. I too called and asked the agents the price and the 1000cc M/T viva i think is one of the cheapest priced brand new cars in srilanka. Not taking into consideration the Maruti 800 and the standard Alto model for somewhat the similar price on the basis of the options available in the Viva.
