This Malaysian MPV (price start from <RM60K) look nice in metal and realtively well built (by ASEAN standard). But don't be misled by the advertisement, it is actual a badge-engineered unit.

 

Proton Ertiga

The Autozam AZ-1 (PG6SA), is a mid-engine Kei car, designed and manufactured by Suzuki but sold by Mazda under its Autozam brand.
 
Manufactured from October 1992 to 1994, the AZ-1 was noted for its gullwing doors. Power came from the same Suzuki-sourced 657 cc turbocharged engine used by the Mazda Carol that produced 64 PS at 6500 rpm and 85 N·m at 4000 rpm.
 
Mazda introduced the limited Mazdaspeed version to showcase the parts that were available for the car. The A-spec kit features an enhanced bonnet, front spoiler and rear wing. It also came with a host of options including sport setting shock absorber, strut bars for the front and rear, mechanical LSD, enhanced air filter and a stainless steel and ceramic muffler. It also came with its own brand of alloy wheels as opposed to the production's steel wheels.

For those that are not aware, Datsun brand has been brought back to life since mid 2013, but only to be used for low-cost vehicles manufactured for emerging markets.

 

Think of it as low cost Nissan vehicles in S.E. Asia, as Dacia is to Renault in Europe. Very comprehensive lineup as of current.

For 100k, that's provided made in China.

 

If u fren has Beijing hukou, he may have problem getting his 3rd or 4th car.

 

By the way, X5, XC60 or DISCO is common on Beijing road. Similar to daily commuter u mentioned.

The 1st gen Lexus ES wasn't EVEN sold outside North America. It was Toyota first attempt in creating affordable lux.

 

For the rest of the world, you either have to PI in a Toyota Vista of that era or no lexus for u at all. 

 

Same as Camry... the first 2 gen of Camries were not sold outside of North America. Those Camries were simple and crude Toyotas actually.

I rem it has a MPI straight 6 engine and 4AT. Very big deal in the early 80s. 

 

Back then its either V8 for big power and refinement or settle for a small weak 4 cyln...

Toyota Sai is sold via PI before. Think someone posted in the rare cars thread before.

 

J100 Toyota Landcruiser, I have spotted this before in the 2000s as the Lexus LX470 in Orchard Road. It was a diplomat car, S_____CD plate.

Yeah I remember seeing the J100 before too. Noticed it cos the design is Super unique. But can’t remember if it’s an embassy car.

Can we have Dacia instead.

Life is more important than brand name!

Datsun has a dismally bad crash test result.I was the Go that got 0 stars for NCAP (in India(!),where standards are not as strict as Europe!)

This is NOT the normal Prius we saw on our road. Key differences between this PHV version and the standard Prius includes:

- Different front and rear deisgn

- Longer (105mm) and lower (20mm) than Prius

- Higher capacity batteries (8.8KWH vs 4.4KWH)

- Smaller boot space (due to larger batteries)

- Strictly a 4 seater (as additional weight will be undesirable)

- Optional solar panel roof

 

Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (aka Prius PHV in Japan)
