In order not to make it too easy I wiped out the numberplates of the cars. And yes, I do know the answer to this one, in contrast to the other GTC I posted today. ;)

No right answers so far.

One hint: Anz chi boi has made a good observation: Toyota is doing good business in this country. I would guess more than 75 % of the cars in this country are Toyota's.

Another hint: there are quite a few muslims in this country.

I think there are one or two muslims in the arabian Peninsula ;)

Okay: lots of Toyotas, left driven, only few muslims... isn't there a south american country where they still drive left - Surinam or Guyana?

not Brasil, or there would be more variety of cars and also compact cars. People... notice there is ONLY ONE TYPE OF CAR IN THE STREET!!! Find a country where thats the only car sold... or more probably, the only car factory in the country.

I don't think there's a Toyota factory in this country. Toyota does have an incredibly high market share though. Perhaps this helps a bit: while in the city most of the Toyota's are luxury sedans, out of town most of the cars are Toyota Landcruisers...
