Applebees Appetizer posted:Does anyone know anything about the Mitsubishi "jeeps"? It's a CJ-3A with a forklift engine. I wouldn't cross-shop with Wranglers so much as I'd look at them as a cheaper and less painful alternative to restoring or jeep-rodding an old WWII survivor.

Nodoze posted:canada would mean rust though? Mazdas don't instantly rust after 2 or 3 summers (cause who's gonna blitz snowbanks in an FD?) up here after arriving from japan, and being down most of that time for engine rebuild. Mazda3s and last-gen Proteges might, but  .

MetaJew posted:So can anything be done with these cars wrt the headlights having the incorrect cutoff for LHD countries? That's generally not as big a deal as many make it out to be, very few vehicles have an asymmetric beam pattern. if it is a problem you can swap US market lights or aim them to the right a bit. Even the worst of em are not as bad to meet on the road than, say, a lovely HID conversion or a stock 2017 Corolla.

Deteriorata posted:GM actually had a marketing agreement in the 90s to sell Chevy Cavaliers made in Ohio as the Toyota Cavalier. Special Japanese model, RHD and different lights and slight body mods to fit Japanese regulations. It gets better; The Toyota Matrix was pmuch exclusively a US car but the mods GM did to it to make the Pontiac Vibe happened to also make it compliant to Japanese regs so a bunch of those got RHD-ified, shipped to JDM-land and sold as the Toyota Voltz. Nobody bought those either despite being significantly less poo poo than a Cavalier
