Rides.

Here we go again.

Smellycat kept ranting to me wanting to change car (again).

It seems like every 3 years we will go through this cycle.

Anyway, apparently he had enough of "Power" (turbo charged rides), he wanted something not so "powerful" to the wallet (coz turbo = money). Ha!

But i really wonder how can we get used to driving small cc cars like Picanto or Getz since we've driven our HelloKitty plus for almost 3 yrs.

* Vrrrrrrrrrooooooooommmmmmmmmmm.....psst......vrrroooommmmmmmm........... psst....*

Wahahahhahahahaha.

Anyway, Its always love at 1st sight .

Again ( 1st time round was the porte, then Hellokittyplus).

Its was a lazy friday afternoon when we went to the Car show at expo and chanced upon this car.....

It has such a retro feel. Love the front grilles!

After getting info from the salesperson, smellycat had been researching about this car and seemed pretty keen on it!

The inside - Uber Retro!


The Suzuki Alto Lapin is a retro-styled kei car with a 5-door hatchback body, manufactured since 2002 by Suzuki for the Japanese market only, and also marketed in Japan by Mazda as Mazda Spiano under an OEM agreement. It is based on Suzuki's popular Alto kei car.
The Lapin has a very distinctive, boxy shape, that apparently proved popular with female buyers. The name "Lapin" stems from the French word for "
rabbit", and the car sports rabbit-head badges. The Mazda version has differs concerning some styling details, including a different front end.
The car is powered by the
Suzuki's K6A kei car engine, in either naturally-aspirated (40 kW / 54 hp) or turbocharged (44 kW / 60 hp) versions, available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The default transmission is a 4-speed automatic with column shift, with a 5-speed manual available in turbo versions.
