5 vehicles not sold here that I would love to have someday. None of these is insanely expensive, they are just average (even affordable) that I really like.

First of all the Mahindra Pik Up Dawn Special Edition. #WeirdCarMastodon #thread

Now for the GWM Tank 300, this beast is not only affordable but also has lockable front and rear diffs. #WeirdCarMastodon

Hongqi H9! Hongqi yeah, and I did say "affordable". Well not all Hongqis are like the well known L5 that's priced at $800k!

Some are more affordable than that and this is one of them :)

This smaller model is either 5,137 mm or 5,337 mm so it is still huge despite not being the bigger L5 :) #WeirdCarMastodon

Really today I want this more than any Cadillac! This is so cool.

OK, this isn't rare in much of the world. But this one specific version is! The BT-50 Storm available in Australia. #weirdCarMastodon

Finally, the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV because these would be great in busy cities. Ideal second car for local trips.

Is it safe? No, however, don't view this as a "car" this is an ideal alternative to a bike or scooter. On 20 to 30 MPH roads these would be perfect. #weirdCarMastodon

@gpowerf I wish this category were legal here in Australia. So useful, these microcars.

@vwdasher oh! Are they not? Here they are not classed as cars, they are classed as quadricycles. That's how vehicles like the Citroen Ami manage to be legal. You can also drive them at 16 rather than at 17.

@gpowerf Nope, nothing like it allowed on our roads, sadly. The Ami would never be legal here. Such a shame.

@vwdasher I've noticed Australia is super tightly regulated when it comes to cars. Even compared to most European countries.
