The car's bonnet is lockable with a key located just next to the driver's door. It has ample back space,the face me I face you kind of seats and a back door. 6 small people can fit in behind there. Infact you can use this car as a mat in shags. Mhh what else,it has space for radio and box for putting ur stuff in. The roof is strong enough to carry luggage. What impressed me the most is the Management's attitude-they believe in young talent, not just papers.kudos. If you wanna buy- well pay 50k deposit to pre-order and the balance in 3 months when the car is expected to be ready. The 1.15m price quoted by Kihari is inclusive of tax. you know all these from 'playing with the steering and sitting inside'. majabu! Good info kysse. @mkenyan - You make it sound like this is insider information not to be made public...

What about some a/c and power steering? maybe some audio? You guys need to also think of the urban folk who would also love to buy & own Kenyan. i.am.back!!!!

Good info kysse. @mkenyan - You make it sound like this is insider information not to be made public... nope. my point is something like a vehicle 'made for the rough terrain and is best suited for rides in shags or the bush' (the part i bolded) can only be ascertained by driving that vehicle on such 'rough terrains', 'shags' and 'bushes'. accepting that by just sitting in the car is buying into the seller's advertisement and may for all we know be wrong.

I support this first step in journey of 1000miles. Of the 100,000 cars imported into Kenya every year, my conservative estimate shows that about 50b is taken out of Kenyan economy to create jobs elsewhere. If only 50% of these cars were assembled locally, with 50% of the parts being sourced locally, we could create upwards of 400,000 direct jobs with average salary of 30K. This would have a multiplier effect on economy, and the news would even be better if we started consuming our own oil rather than importing. That's largely how some countries like S.Korea developed.

Thanks Mkenyan. The car has been thoroughly tested in isiolo,garissa meru,nanyuki,infact I have a promised trip to prove them right. Please go to sameer and enjoy the white widow one, only one of its kind,  ask to speak to one Alex K.who drives to and from meru hills each weekend. Warankaz meru be like'araa hii ngari inaeza mbemba miraa'? Why not? ngoat,mendicine,chicken cat,satellite ndishes @ all can fit in. Now those who love adventure and outdoors will appreciate this vehicle cz it's also wide and spacious.The body is tough chuma with a metallic bumper infront to protect the body. ok would any sane co.launch anything without testing save for Nyayo Pioneer?

Good to see an improvement on Mobius II...Mobius I was one UGLY contraption!!! They hardly even mentioned it on their site.    Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs - Farrah Gray.
