It was probably exported. In Russia there is a huge market for used Japanese cars. In some areas they outnumber the cars purchased locally.

Surely. I remember I saw a Vista Ardeo in Brussels around 2002 ! Black, right-hand-drive, no plates, maybe an ex-japanese embassy car. It stayed in front of a classic car garage for a few days before being dismantled and sent to the crusher. Sad for a one-year old car. And it wasn't the only one ! A pair of Lexus LS400 and a 2001 Toyota Corolla (the one that wasn't even sold in Europe yet !) met the same fate. :(

Strange. They should have offered the cars to the dealers in the UK who sell secondhand imports from Japan.
