I am out in the middle east for a couple of weeks, and seeing lots of the older european cars here, many with the german numberplate surrounds still on, and what a variety, seen one korean rover 800 copy(daewoo?), lots of nissan sunnys, toyota corollas, still sold new here, seen a roewe 750 up close, like the lines at the back, but not sure of that square grille on the front. one chinese Roller lookalike. Also seen lots of the saloon variants of the ceed and i30, which look much better balanced as cars. quite a trip back in time. Diesel cars not allowed for private use.

Big news in the Jordan Times today is the New Car dealers/Agents protesting that the imported used car sales are taking 75% of the market due to 150% import duties and taxes on new cars.
