Think they were imported when the duty was reduced for hybrids. One of our forum members at the time had one.

Yes...this was also the time (one of many) that Hybrid euro luxury brands were cheaper than a petrol Camry

A nice quad-lamped Sedan that I used to love as a kid - had a brochure when I was like 4 or 5. Sadly almost every single one of these are scrapped, and their CR's are used to run Bighorns.

Ok then here you go, an example can be found in one of the classifieds in Sri Lanka. Dont think there are many around. 

Without the designer of this car (which was secretly developed this brand would have gone kaput.

The visual clue was a bit confusing but this probably was the best clue. Ludwig Kraus would be the designer - and the parent company he saved was later involved in a massive emissions scandal in the previous decade

Thats what the visual clue was to confuse. I just wanted to give some history. Looks like a very clean yet classical looking car with hints of its main rivals shown on the design (including the rear). On the back story it kinda seems similar to one of the main competing brands, which would have also gone bankrupt if it wasnt for one model that changed the tide.

Anyone knows the answer? @matroska you want to do the honours and give the vehicle name and model?

Audi 100 LS. This particular one must be from US coz of the additional side markets on all 4 corners was a must according to US regulations.

Yes correct @harshansenadhir this was the best picture I could find of the rear angle I wanted. Interestingly the rear has similarities with the main rivals of BMW & Mercedes models. The rear lights specially would have confused people to thing of the BMW 5 series gen 1. Its a very clean classic yet beautiful design in my eyes.

[Gummybr]

Since Harshana has not put up anything maybe some one can put a new trivia for us to try.

[matroska]

Ok then have a go at this
