Imports spotted in Kerala - Team-BHP

hanmust · 3rd January 2007, 17:08

Kerala, 'God's own country' is having a very high per capita expenditure rate in the country. This has been reflected in the auto-market of the state. Somany varieties of cars & bikes are there in roads of this small state. And all these cars & bikes are decentralised & lies in the various corners of the state. So this thread in ment to post the pictures & news regarding the various exotic motors spotted from different parts of the state. Kindly mention the place where you spot these motors. Expecting more posts from all Malayalees. To flag-off, I humbly post some automobiles I spotted...

Thats not a RR sport, its a full-size RR vogue..

Ya, its having somany..already there is 4 new S-classes, SL55 AMG Cherthala, Rolls Royces Silver Seraph in Calicut, Cochin & Kottayam, 2 CLSs in Cochin, SLKs, 2 new Range Rovers in Cochin, Ferrari in Tvm, Porche Cayenne & VW Toureg in Thrissur, A8 & Q7 in Cochin, another A8 in Pattambi, X5s in Cochin & Palagat, new 5-series in Thelissery, etc..

Neat Snaps Hanmust.There is an M3 in Trivandrum owned by a TBHPian.Also there is a Porsche Cayenne in Chavakkad.Audi TT ,Audi Q7,Audi A8 in cochin.But I feel we cant call these as exotics as such,maybe except the M3.There are people with money but they mostly stick to the expensive but conventional cars.I would love to see a Porsche 911 or the rumoured aston martin.
Technically Cochin hosts some of the most exotic imports in India atleast for a short time,...at the wharf

.This includes a TBHPians SL55 AMG.
