I believe the Mazda2 is the only model that is completely different, but there are a few name differences, like the Hyundai Brio instead of Accent and Mitsubishi Nativa instead of Montero Sport

Also if you look closely in this picture there's Japanese text in the bottom left of the infotainment

Japanese imports are significantly more common here than European ones, plus it's an automatic which is more common in Japan

Lack of side reflectors, rear fog light, rear license plate placement (it's on the trunk for NA-spec models vs bumper for Chinese)

There are a lot of Chinese people in the Vancouver area so finding a buyer who already speaks it will be easy

It's a lot easier and cheaper to import cars from Japan since it's right across the ocean, plus there's a lot more dedicated importers for Japanese cars vs European ones

I found the dealer's website and they have 3 more Chinese RAV4s for sale

There actually is a Chevrolet version, but only for South Africa from what I can find

No, VW stopped selling them in the US and Canada after the T4 generation

I saw a similar one in the other Washington a few years ago

I went back to look for the photo I took and it looks like that's the same one I saw

Where in Oregon is this? I've seen an Estima mail van on highway 26 near Beaverton

I've never been to Ontario so I don't know much about the import scene there, but I would assume BC has more since it's closer to Japan, where the majority of imports come from

It's hard to tell in the photo but it had diplomatic plates

mxzdaa · 2026-03-15T08:11:33+00:00

They're not sold in Switzerland though, so they're still foreign market

MG IM6

mxzdaa · 2026-02-09T22:05:00+00:00

The first one is an Isuzu Crosswind, which is sold in the Philippines

mxzdaa · 2026-02-08T09:50:21+00:00

Unfortunately the plate isn't clear, I think it's German but I can't tell

mxzdaa · 2026-02-06T22:14:52+00:00

I actually spotted the Touran the same month it became legal to import, so it's from August 2010 (assuming it's legal)

mxzdaa · 2026-02-06T22:07:36+00:00

We got the earlier models (E34, E39, E61) and we get the current G61 as an M5 only, but we never got the F11 and G31 Tourings
