You’d expect stuff like Skylines or JDM-exclusive Subies or Mitsubishis to be imported.
But would you expect a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ? No. No you would not.
Contrary to popular belief, unlike in the US, not everyone who buys a JDM import is looking for an enthusiast car. Sometimes a JDM import is simply a better deal, you get an EXTREMELY well kept car that’s also quite cheap, and you get the factor of uniqueness that comes with RHD.
There’s also this bitchin’ !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . A Fuso Canter or Hino whatever for hipsters.
And somebody imported a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Basically an Echo/Yaris/Vitz minivan. It was called the Verso in Europe. I very much want it.
Here’s a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Basically no difference to the US/CADM Fit. But fuck you.
And last but very much not least, the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I love these things so much. Basically all are diesel. And people import these by the BUCKET LOAD. These are by far the most popular JDM imports to Canada, ESPECIALLY in BC. It’s simply something that doesn’t really exist in NA, an AWD small-ish campervan/people carrier. Save for stuff like the old Chevy Astro and Mazda MPV, but those were shit. The Delica rocks.
I’m gonna be honest, I’m more excited when I see a Delica than when I see a Skyline.

Agree with you 100% on that last bit
Seeing almost any one of those cars above is more exciting

There are so many Delicas here the that I honestly forget they’re imports. A guy on my block has an imported Impreza 2.5 RS, it sounds freaking excellent and I always feel cooler by association when he parks beside my Legacy. There’s a lot of second gen Pajeros too, since Cruisers are too expensive now. Oh yeah, so many 80 series LCs. Some 60s, mostly 80s. The little heavy duty trucks like Canters and Atlas’ and Dynas are all over too, they’re not cheap but they’re so much more practical than american trucks of the same age. Also tons of Sambars

I saw a new top of the line delica in Izu, so nice. I’ll take any generation AWD with a diesel though.

Wait, you want a Yaris Verso?
You might have been the first person on earth to say that.
1.3 Litres of cargo hauling capacity combined with alleged fun.
Tbh, the one in the pic you showed looks a bit more interesting

I’ve always liked the Echo hatch, and the Verso is basically a Yaris hatch but taller. It’s a bit ungainly, but it’s extremely practical,and in North America, extremely unique.

Agreed, I love the utilitarian nature of it, after all I always have had a soft spot for quirky cars like this. It’s like a modern Fiat Panda van.
I was just a bit too harsh on it, since it’s one of those cars that’s easy to make fun of. Because it’s a Fun Cargo, geddit?

Those Delica’s aren’t just any all wheel drive minivan, those have a real transfer case with high and low range as well as a separate frame from the body.
