Carbon82 Moderator March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 This thread is for sharing of car model not available in Singapore. It is not necessary that the car must be something exotic, very rare or for that matter, cost you an arm and leg (well, every car here cost us an arm and leg already...) I still remembered in the early 90s (during the pre-internet era), when I made my first overseas trip to Europe, I was like a mountain tortoise, staring at every car model on the street, and spending half of my photo films shooting nothing but just "rare" cars that I have never seen in Singapore, hahaha OK, let me start the ball rolling, and these few are high on my list (and many more to come)... BMW X1 LWB. I am a sucker for LWB model, as the additional leg room in the rear make the car feel a class high than standard wheelbase model. BMW 5 Series LWB. Who will need a 7 Series if we can have this model... 3rd Generation Honda Accord (JDM). I am also a fan of pop up headlight... Honda Odyssey (USDM). This make it a very good competitor to the Alphard and like... Kia Grand Carnival. Another great looking full size MPV... 2018 Buick Enclave Avenir. A direct competitor to the highly acclaimed Mazda CX9... ↡ Advertisement 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 I will stay far far from MIC BMW. The quality is lower than Malaysia SKD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator March 10, 2018 Author Share March 10, 2018 Of course, there will also be something that I am thankful we don't have it here... Honda Amaze. Doesn't it look like a smashed up City or something like that? Toyota Calya. A moving milo tin... Tata Nano. The world cheapest car that trade your life for $$$... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 I will stay far far from MIC BMW. The quality is lower than Malaysia SKD. It depends on whether a model is ment for export. BMW wont screw their brand name by selling bad quality cars to the world. It is like iphone, no one talks about iphone being made in China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darevil 3rd Gear March 10, 2018 Share March 10, 2018 The Honda Amaze should be a competitor for Mitsubishi Attrage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator March 10, 2018 Author Share March 10, 2018 And here are another 3 model that I like, for it practicality (space). Jaguar XF Sportbrake. A very handsome and well built estate... VW Passat (NMS). This is LWB version of what we had in Singapore, and a tad wider too. Chrysler Pacifica. A true full size MPV, providing ample space even when all seats are in position... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samlimlp 2nd Gear March 11, 2018 Share March 11, 2018 Toyota Crown Althele. Seen those in Japan, very premium and full features packed. My guess is Borneo not bringing in as it may affect its Lexus sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator March 11, 2018 Author Share March 11, 2018 I have to admit that I am not a fan of small convertible (especially after driven the 2nd generation MX-5), but I somewhat find this MX-5 based Fiat Abarth 124 Spider kind of seductive...
