Heck Toyota lost a law suite after a Chinese company stole its logo

This is the logo in question. Geely used it for  a model called 'merry'

In all fairness to PL, I would like to admit that I too have violated traffic laws time to time especially in Colombo, as it has become an utter mess driving during peak hours in these god forsaken ci

What if they don't believe in the triple gem? would it still bless them or would they die from an allergy? Do you even know what the triple gem signifies? Also what is a triple jem?

Two months back I took my car to Unit#d Mot#rs for brake pad replacement and there was a Toyota RAV4  in next bay came for a mechanical repair. 

I was thinking why a Toyota is here and had a close look on engine bay and tags. It was a Chinese vehicle with physical appearance is almost RAV4 and owner had replaced Chinese Logos with Toyota Logos and badges and it perfectly fit in the logo /badge cavities. :)

That would be one of those JonWay Q2qewqer4 thingies ?

When I was hunting for a car saw a few of those advertised as Chinese market/version Toyota RAV4s. One even all the badges of a RAV4.

If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines... 

UNIX Airways 

Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building. 

Air DOS 

Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on... 

Mac Airlines 

All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up. 

Windows Air 

The terminal is pretty and colourful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever. 

Windows NT Air 

Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes. 

Windows XP Air 

You turn up at the airport,which is under contract to only allow XP Air planes. All the aircraft are identical, brightly coloured and three times as big as they need to be. The signs are huge and all point the same way. Whichever way you go, someone pops up dressed in a cloak and pointed hat insisting you follow him. Your luggage and clothes are taken off you and replaced with an XP Air suit and suitcase identical to everyone around you as this is included in the exorbitant ticket cost. The aircraft will not take off until you have signed a contract. The inflight entertainment promised turns out to be the same Mickey Mouse cartoon repeated over and over again. You have to phone your travel agent before you can have a meal or drink. You are searched regularly throughout the flight. If you go to the toilet twice or more you get charged for a new ticket. No matter what destination you booked you will always end up crash landing at Whistler in Canada. 

Linux Air 

Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. 

When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

Well it is a A60 series Celica....at the time the Carina and the Celica were siblings. So either the RMV made a mistake or they used a Carina A60 book (and frame) to restore a Celica.

@iRage I assumed so by whatever little that is left of the car (rear window specially)  and according to RMV the engine is a 3A shared by both carina and celica. Back in the day RMV probably messed it up.

Still better than a Kwid or an Alto 800 or.....

But doesn't the rating say it is Acceptable(A) in some and Good(G) in most ? Which is actually not that bad...

Expand  

No doubt better than the kwid, not really comparing apples to apples are we? 

But look at how the a pillar snaps and how the dummies head goes between the side and driver airbags.
