....seriously though,. how many models and years of models and variants do Toyota and Nissan intend to release?

In the good ol days, any boy worth his salt would know ALL 70-80 cars in the Safari Rally (aka Safo..or Safali larre) - by make, model, driver, co-driver, sponsors, etc...hell, I'm sure some knew their blood groups as well.

These days I cannot tell an Avensis from a Mark x from a Tata Corvette from a Dacia Veyron from a KIA 207 from a Mazda Premio from a Honda HIV from a Toyota Whoosh from a donkey's ass...

The problems with allowing too many models into a market:
- side mirror and other theft
- few parts - higher costs (then pls see item 1 again and see this cycle unfold).

I think KEBS should approve certain models for a limited duration...there will be a bigger user base for each and more parts (less diversity) and less theft...
