Partial view, but a rare and an unusual sight in Japan. Sold as 'TB' over there. Also, does that chromed piece inside the grille indicate a later model? Or is it just a part of the trim level of some sort? -- Last edit: 2020-12-09 17:06:03 |

Is this one of the few Korean cars that were exported there? |

Yes. Between 2001 and 2009 (or 2010), they sold about 15,000 of Hyundai's passenger vehicles (Elantra/Elantra Furo, Grandeur, Coupe, I30/I30CW, JM, Santa Fe, Sonata, TB, Trajet and XG) in Japan. I think Daewoo/GM Matiz was sold there as well, as well as a few models of Kia in the 1990s. I think korean buses are still sold in Japan? -- Last edit: 2020-12-09 18:34:57 |

Yup, Universes are still sold there, though nowhere near as popular as S'elega/Gala... Also yup on the Matiz... in fact I remember there was a GM Matiz running around near where I lived during high school... |
