Why Toyota. Why must you do this to us and not bring this out to Australia.

Not sure how well would a RWD Toyota premium sedan would work here, as Toyota Australia also has Lexus with its RWD sedan range (Plus RHD Mark X is JDM-only. Brand new ones sold by Toyota HK still have the 180KM/H speedo.). The Mark X shares the same platform with the Lexus IS/ GS (The Mark X slots in between these two in JDM land.) & Crown, which will make it hard to position down under (Especially the price, it will clash with Lexus here.).

I guess the only other way is to get an importer to apply for the car to be added under the SEVS registry, so that it can be brought in as a low volume import (Might take a while though with the 18 month from release window, unless someone starts a petition and show an importer that there is demand for the Mark X in brand new form.).

Now, if only the market would open up to parallel imports.

In Japan, the car isn't all that more expensive than the GT86. Mark X starts at Y2,500,000.

Toyota Australia needs a better focus group if they can't see the cars they sell here aren't what the market want. A medium sized rwd car for $40k would steal sales from Holden and Ford. The GT86 should be a wake up call to the fact they are selling the wrong cars.

Easiest way to get Toyota's attention is to email them and ask when it is coming out. Enough interest will sway their opinion.
