PM lauds local Honda investor – at sod turning for new showroom

Guyana IS the Place to be. Big Up Guyana ALL the way to the Moon.  While Dem Cunumunu and lamatas sit and complain, the Govt and People building for the FUTURE.  let progress and prosperity continues.

Why no one paid any attention to the newly commissioned "katahar processing plant" in Canal number 1 Polder? Their products, frozen katahar, can be found in your local Guyanese stores in NYC.

They will be importing Honda cars and selling them in Guyana. Is Stanley Ming no longer the Honda dealer in Guyana? 

TK,

Caribbean people complained that Honda cars are too low to ground to run on their roads.

Honda are great cars. The CRV is not low. 

CRV is not a car. It's a small SUV

Well I call them all cars...but you are right. Some people call them crossovers.  Marics always sold Honda expensive. Well Beharry sold Toyota expensive also. 

Marics Honda was also on Charlotte St could this be the same lot?

Yes Charlotte St is where the old Marics was at. We used to go there with our bata to fantasize over the cars. 

There was a motorcycle store which carried bikes that looked a bit like the Itam bikes (small stinkpots) also on Charlotte St just past Wellington. I remember some nice girls dem living above the store, it was a few doors away from what I believe was called...Charlie's Inn.

I would not know about Charlie's Inn. 

Come on TK Come on

Pavi often talks about that place opposite the old GBC. He will know.

Stanley Ming is the agent for Yamaha and Misubishi Motors and was never a Honda dealer. Mario Mendonca and his wife were the owners of the old Marics.

This business is at the same spot, next to Maraj Bldg on Charlotte St.

The new owner of Marics, John Permaul is a very progressive young Guyanese entrepreneur. He is also the owner of Jialing Motor Cycle store. This guy rose from a mechanic from LBI estate to one of the leading entreperneurs in Guyana.

Congratulations to him.

I cannot recall any Charlie's Inn next to Marics but there was a *****house beween Marics and Strand Cinema, where Beharry now have their Toyota showroom, called Pakera or Pakaraima.

Thanks for clarifying that. So as a kid I was confusing Mitsibishi for Hondas.  Balwant is this guy the first official Honda dealer in Guyana?

The first official dealer for Honda in Guyana was Marics and Co.Ltd, previously owned by Mario Mendonca and his wife. I think that business was established sometime in the 1950's. I bought my first Honda Accord from them in 1982. I know Mrs. Menonca very well. She is very old now and retired.

Oh ok...so Marics did deal with Hondas at one time. Hondas are great but expensive. Are they more expensive than Toyotas or Nissans in Guyana? What about Mitsibishi? 

TK,

 Do you still hold the view that Guyana is a Donkey Cart Economy?

Yes. 

For Jalanese vehicles, Honda is the most expensive car including spares. But in my opinion Hondas are the most reliable of all the Japanese vehicles for performance and durability. The CRVs are great.

CRVs are great indeed. But I think the 2013 Toyota Rav4 might just have equaled or better the CRVs.
