Do you mean Toyota are shipping them from Japan as new (an Irish version) or just exporting second hand ones? So you can buy Glanzas from Toyota dealers now?

Cheers,

DC.

-=BARNIE=-

Apparently The majority of the Glanza's comin over are second hand but there must be a fe new ones! U should ask a toyota dealer they wud no more than me about it

Pretty cool though ww)

dcGT

Yeah I think all Glanzas imported over here are second hand. Toyota stopped making the Glanza in 1998/99 though when the Yaris came in. Just curious, where did you hear this info?

Cheers,

DC.

I find it hard to believe that Toyota would get involved in importing cars from Japan. In fact when Jap imports started to become popular Toyota in the UK and Ireland advised their dealers not to service or repair them. Same goes for Honda - mate of mine has a Jap import prelude and when he brought it to Honda in Cork for a service they wouldn't touch it.

Well, they don't have exact service data for jap models.
, dispute the fact they very similar and sometimes may refuse. I wouldn't bring my jap car to Honda for service anyway. However they have to supply you with parts when asked

I find that hard to believe. I have many friends who have asked Toyota garages to import Bodykits, accesories etc and they never have had problems getting serviced. Western Cars is my local toyota garage and they even said they were happy getting imports for people. But it mite be different because i live in Fermanagh

ando

BARNIE, any info on the new Yaris 1.5turbo being imported?

-=BARNIE=-

Sry ando i haven't heard anything about the 1.5 Turbo but i'm sure they'll import it. The Yaris seems to be very popular

Gods no, I mustn't. The Glanza is pug ugly, will remain pug ugly no matter what you do to it. The last model was pug ugly too - although not quite as ugly as the late model - and I should know, I had to drive two of the bastards. It was very nearly the worst car I ever drove, second only to a Rover 200. The Daihatsu Domino I drove was positively cool next to a Starlet; I lusted after a Charade GTti to mash the Starlet into the ground.

Look, it's a nun's car, ok? Always has been, always will be. If you tart it up, it'll just be a tarted-up nun's car. If you whack a turbo on it, it'll just be a turbo-charged nun's car. But it'll remain a nun's car, forever. Christ, you could stick a nodding dog on the parcel shelf and hang a pair of fluffy dice off the mirror, people will still look inside for the Padre Pio badge on the dash. They'll just think it's a nun with a sense of humour...

The only exception to traditional Starlet blandness was the first model, which would be a classic today if, you know, they all didn't melt. The sporty MK1 Starlet was the Twin Cam before the Twin Cam was an itch in it's Daddy's pants. It defined the breed, and then the Twin Cam came along and undefined it; the Twin Cam is now the Wacker's car, we all shout WAAAAHHHH!! at them when they drive past. And the Glanza is it's replacement.

WAAAAHHHH!!!

And is FAST!

So's a Lada with a jet engine. Kewl.

There gettin more and more popular round Ireland!

Indeed. Which speaks volumes.

Thus endeth the rant.

agree with ya there dahamsta they are awfull looking cars, they are just pure ugly, they really do look ****! i hate them , ya see gimps driving them with there baseball caps on and commercial dance music blaring out the windows! gimps! Thats not just a stereotype either EVERYONE of them is the same! I've never seen anyone other than a knackery looking god****e driving one!

And seeing as pretty much everyone that drives one *forgets* theres a turbo in them when it comes to declaring it on there insurance, then pretty much everyone who drives them risks there insurance being null and void.

I BLOODY HATE THEM! SO DIE TOYOTA DIE FOR EVER MAKING THE THINGS!

*now calms down*
