Nice to see this one around and in good condition. Volvo always remind me of my buddy. When he first got his license and he drives the father's car out. He don't know the way and got to follow bus ruote. Haha

With a burbling, smooth-revving, characterful straight-five. Lovely. 

Sadly, precious few still exist in SG.

Too bad, we ae in a different society. Last night I was out in a local restaurant for dinner after the golf range. It seems like those kind of local places in Thailand will never exist in Singpapore too

Toyota Corolla Rumion

Fun fact: This model is a badge engineered 2nd gen Scion xB. So in some way, it can be considered as the successor of Toyota BB / Daihatsu Materia.

Not exactly old but a rare sight in Singapore, and I have to say it is very well maintained. 

Quite costly to keep it here as road tax alone is going to cost >$6K p.a. (inclusive of the 50% surcharge)

the chassis is designed by Lotus, resembling the Esprit

there is an interesting story (scandal) between both the founders of Lotus and DeLorean because of this car, which led to a dramatic ending

Had one before. T5. 225hp (I think) from a 2.0T wasn't too shabby. Definitely a lot quicker than it looked! Enjoyed it very much.
