Imported Car Exhibition

　　My family has three cars. One is a 4-wheel drive that accommodates 8 people. It has been used mainly for family vacations for 13 years. It can take lots of luggage like skiing, climbing, fishing and camping gear along with all family members. Another is a small one with a 550cc displacement, which has been used for shopping nearby or commuting for 15 years. The last one is for my youngest daughter to use for commuting.
　　Two of my daughters are in Tokyo and Nagoya now and the youngest will leave home in two years time. I started to consider about our cars. I won't need the bigger one. If needed temporarily, I could rent an ideal one for use then. I'm wondering about two-seater vehicles, both from domestic and foreign companies.
　　The Imported Car Exhibition was held today in Ehime World Trade Center, which is located at a distance of 5km from my house. I was interested in several affordable cars from lots of cars exhibited there. There were so many cars priced over 100,000 US$ but these were regrettably out of my reach. The cars that I had an itch for were the Porsche Boxster, Mercedes SLK 200 and Audi TT. These are two-seater convertibles.
　　I'll look into the functional aspects of the above and other several cars for the next two years.

Oh yes, nice cars to choose from, I don't think you could go wrong with any of those. Definitely something to look forward to.
