As I known Japanese peoples changing vehicles very quicker, When they got damage or problem ... probably throw away and go for new vehicles ( after warranty expired they do not try to fix or repair)
JDM made for that purpose
when come to EU their vehicles manufactured for long term used, They do have extended warranty, their vehicles also made for higher reliable then JDM,
toyota made luxury and well reliable lexus for EU and USA market. probably same brand made for EU must be have better quality than jDM
but when it come to "import from UK" vehicles to Sri Lanka is a different
UK vehicles made for cool climate they are not made or suitable for asian country like Sri Lanka, India ...
when the EU vehicles manufacture ex : benz, audi , BMW they made different version for south asia region ( hot climate vehicles )
if you buy Toyota from Toyota Lanka yes you will get different vehicles than parallel import JDM
anyway in here Toyota well reputed, see toyota carina, 110 , 121

I seen ad on ikman to sell toyota carina for 3 million hik hik
