You Forgot the 300ZX, Supra and MR2!

And if we're talking cars in the same category as the Eg, how about the Sprinter MArino and Corolla Ceres? Much better looking IMO.

However, it IS a fact that the civic was the first of the jap compact family cars to break with the box look and introduce curves.... That was in 91. The others came out later than that.

true true...that's why i said there are plenty more :)

and i do agree with other models you've mentioned :)

are you sure about the civic being the first curvy jap car?

cos say the legendary 89 skylines too were curvy...at least i think they are curvy :P

yeah you guys are right,,,the cars mentioned are miles away where teh eg8 stands :angry-smiley-048: //...but i think my statement was more in to the 4DOOR SEDAN type boys ;) ;)

1989 R32 Skyline is a 4 door sedan FYI.

The picture i've pasted in my earlier post is the 2 door GTR.

And Supra's choices...the Ceres and the Marino too are Sedans!

Early to mid nineties Subarus too look better than the EG8... and those too are sedans

Nah, only the GT-R has curves... Exhibit A, R32 GTS saloon.. :)

I think comment on EG8s look is correctly when we go for most commenly available models in sri lanka without going in to Subaru's, sky lines. Simply compare to 4DOOR family sedans like corolla, sunny's, lancers and 323s, at that era.

The aforementioned Ceres and Marino are derivatives of the Corolla and Sprinter. So its more than fair to compare them.

Yes marino and ceres also has the better looking compare to other cars. May be the reason is most of the other cars during that time has this boxy look and flat front grill and also sharp edges. Where Marino/Ceres and EG8 are more seamless designs. Also not forgetting the Mazda Astina

But Marino/Ceres has some odd styling compared to EGs & it's the best looking among those economical sedans of early 90s. Again yeah, am biased and beauty is in the eye of the beholder :P

What about "Nissan Presea" ? 1996 Nissan Presea CTII R11 is well ahead in look than boring "Sunny"

Its design simply defeat all Nissan n Toyota of same and arround of its YOM.

Still it looks great than even Nissan N16, 17 and Toyota AE 100

But goes around 1.1-1.2 .....

sanjeew ... I think corolla 110 (none crystal light model due to ur expected price range) or starlet EP 91 (of cause 91 is a one of best) are the best options for you.

Bt here u didn't mention about ur prefered registration number range. ( am i right? ). If u go 4 a starlet 91, of cause u can go 4 a english number car within ur budget. ( Its depend on the condition of the vehicle. ) Bt 4 a corolla 110 its not much easy 2 find a english number car with non crystal light model ( But u may try ).

4 corolla 110, SE saloon is the higher grade. Then comes XE Saloon etc..

4 starlet, reflect is the higher market grade. And with starlet, its better 2 go with 4 door car. ( caret is a higher grade, but not much market in SL )

:unsure:

Thank you all for your comments

Anybody know about Starlet EP91 and March K11

i believe [:)]you have got only half an answer to this.

Starlet already discussed.

However from what i gathered from this forum - March has a 'terrible' fuel economy !! So - you better not go for one of those.

Search 'march' and see the comments.

Sorry, i dont mean to sound cocky but this just screams "toyota corolla"...

But seriously dude, considering your lack of motoring experience, fuel efficiency and resale, i dont think anything else fits as well.... i'm guessing the model to go for in that price range would be a 110?

--DITTO-- :alc:

AE 110 'tis!
