Oh.. almost forgot to mention, but I saw a new Supra the other day. It passed me while I was stopped at a light - the right lane had a green right turn arrow.

It’s kind of weird looking. Distinctive though...

Someone went to the trouble of importing this crappy Seat hatchback for some reason.

I'd imagine it's worth about 500 Pesos, so the duty couldn't have been much.

That's not a Seat... Its a Suzuki...

Edit -- looks like a Suzuki Reno, which was sold in the US circa 2005-2008...

Looks right.

I'll count it as notable because when was the last time anyone saw a Suzuki Reno
