February 8, 201016 yr comment_412171 Ive seen this front on cars from as far back as 1979 while browsing the web. The reason for this is because we in Australia got KE55's in late 1978/79 instead of upgrading to the KE70 like everyone else. Typical of car makers tho, as Australia has always been left behind when it comes to model upgrades (Take Chrysler's Charger Vs. Dodge Challengers in the 1970's). Plus we never got the better sportier models yet the smaller nation of NZ did? Seems whenever they move production here we get left behind on the upgrades etc. Report

We had more laws about what had to be made here and what didnt. Therefore we got a lot of borg warner/ami/aussie made stuff incorporated into our cars, all while NZ and the like was getting the japan only models brought straight over. Not necessarily bad stuff, just different to the rest of the world and not the high end jap bits that we all want now... :) Report

The government just makes their money via import duties and taxes, so I don't think they give 2 shits where the car came from. ( just like most 2nd world economies :) ) Report
