Motor Expo 2008

One of the few E85 capable vehicles available in Thailand, the Volvo C30 is out of reach of most people who would be interested.

Some nice tuned cars on display, but nothing all that special.

Of course the production version doesn't come with the tilting cargo bay.

Clever placement of CNG tanks from Tata. Beats Chevrolet's solution of taking up a fifth of the cargo bay with the tank.

I'd drive it. Let's hope they can work out a way to bring them to Thailand for reasonable money.

The Impreza was never a pretty car though. Still it's not bad.

Impreza Sedan actually looks better in person than it does in images. Still not a pretty car though.

This is probably the coolest thing at the Expo.

This looks so great.

These things are just silly. And now they are even heavier thanks to the needlessly loud sound systems installed.

Proton are no match for Toyota/Honda in terms of build quality, but the price is lower also.

The Persona represents excellent value for money on the face of it, but who knows how it will last.

Now we're talking. A cheap as chips CNG car from Proton. And it's actually nice looking.
