Iranian transport

Here's what you'll see on Iran's roads: No Mercedes or other European prestige marques, except for Tehran police cars. No modern four-wheel drives. Still plenty of Paykans. Lots of Iran-built South Korean small to mid-size saloons. Peugeots. Plenty of luxury buses for intercity travel, but quite a few 1970s-era buses with chrome trim and odd lines. Sturdy, blocky minibuses. Indian-style trucks, virtually no articulated lorries.
