Have a look at Toyota's sales figures in this country, they're making bucketloads of cash with their current "boring" strategy. The performance car market isn't big enough in Australia, they'll make bugger-all money importing expensive performance cars and may even lose money. This is exactly why they stopped importing Supras after the Mk3, no-one was buying the damn things. back then, not every man and his dog wanted a performance japanese car though, look at it now But half the reason the japanese imports are growing in popularity is there relatively cheap price compared to cars that were sold in australia. I agree with Norbie unfortunately, that Australia simply doesn't have a large enough market for performance cars. so wouldnt that be more of a reason just to release chasers here? no costs in developing a new car! A small hurdle known as "ADR's" to get over - There's crash and emission testing to do, coz Australia goes "Euro 3" emissions compliant as of july 2006, which is an absolute bitch to get certified on. As an example, some Euro-3 cars make 85% of their "dirty" gasses in the first 40 seconds of a 90 minute trip. Think about how clean that means they have to run once the catalytic converter is hot! -Still cheap compared to building a new car tho - a good idea if you can find the sales ! !
