In Macau, the Corolla are using Diesel with 2.0 D4D, equipped with 5 speed manual

Toyota Alphard, take a look at the hot blue HIACE at the third photo. As you can imagine, modding car is everywhere on the street, no idea why australia is so conservative

Nice pics Ben, was the trip business or pleasure? buy anything for the car?

[ToyotaFreak]

Nice pics there Ben. Oh and in the interior photo of the Taiwanese Camry taxi, that gear knob is an aftermarket lockable type.

One thing unique about the Isis is the pillarless passenger side & foldable front passenger seat making entry and exit easier (Made its debut on the Toyota Raum in 1997). Oh, and just like it's twin, the Toyota Wish, it's also Corolla based!

Wow pillarless van.. Why are some of the cabs LHD ?

China drive on the right hand side of the road (and thus have LHD cars). Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau are all Chinese territories, although Hong Kong is former British Empire and drives on the left (RHD) (same with Macau, except it was Portuguese) thus has a mixture of LHD and RHD cars on the road since they only became part of China in the late '90s. Even though Taiwan is a former Japanese colony, they became a Chinese territory back in the 40s and swapped sides then, so the cars are completely LHD now.

Photos please. I am bit shocked by the Hiace as well as shown in my photos... Wings, spolier, LED, skirts..People like to make the car very luxury

modding car is very cheap compared to australia

NO WAY TOYOTA IS A BORING BRAND !!!

Looking at the ISIS invention, wow

As you can see from the pictures, Australia is very conservative, still using wheel covers!!!

I did not buy anything for my car on the holiday trip...

The following toys are everywhere
