134. Guyana. When the current president's wife left him, she lost her car privileges. She had to plead with the Guyanese people for a car to borrow to get to charitable functions. Though the separation was amicable, I don't see the president sharing his Land Cruiser.
135. Mali. I was a little bit surprised when I found the president of Mali also riding in a Hummer H2. It seems bad taste knows no boundaries.
136. Moldova. Like his Romanian brother, the Moldovan president rides in an S-class-- albeit a little dirtier.
137. Malaysia. Although the Malaysian PM is always seen riding in classic British convertibles, his official car is the domestic Proton.
138. St. Vincent & The Grenadines. Here is a pic of the PM being driven in a Land Cruiser Prado.
139. Costa Rica. This one is complicated. When Oscar Arias came back into power, he was handed an old Lexus, which was used by the last two presidentes. He then opted for a Kia, which was donated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Korean government. When the Kia was thought unbecoming, Motores Britanicos, whose owner was under investigation, conveniently donated a $58,000 "Range Rover" to Arias. With import duties, the only possible model to fall within that price range is the LR3. To date, Arias has not given up his Rover. I say, give the Nobel Prize winner whatever he wants.
