IceBlue_Glanza Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 we have read a topic on this subject stating that glanzas are becoming very common. the information i am about to post comes from a very reliable source. as most people know glanzas lucidas GTOs ect... are being imported from japan into the UK. upto six months ago there was a steady flow of containerships containing imported cars, that flow has now become to a trickle, which means that we are lucky if one vote a month arrives in liverpool. the other port where these cars are brought in is southampton where the other auction is. the shippers are called wamajin corporation limited. The reason the cars are not coming to the UK is because the cars are going to russia as it would seem that there are bringing a better price in russia than there are in the UK, So i would be very surprised if many more glanzas celicas ect. will be coming to the UK. i have been told that possibly in the next six months the vehicles will seize to come to the UK from the sources that i know about. i cannot comment about any other sources that there might be, i hope members and readers find this topic very interesting. If anyone else knows any other information that i dont then please post in this topic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big_T-SR Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 This doesn't really concern me, because the car i drive is normally driven by old grannys and it is a car they will keep. As for you turbo owners... But yer its good new, thanks for the find, it means starlets as a general will keep on being rare... well... as rare as it is now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

briggers Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 has anyone owned a gt then a glanza and what were there thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Few points,Firstly I doubt that will become a reality...simple as that, as Ecks pointed out, the market is saturated anyway so if fewer cars came in, it'd only help the residual values of these cars and others.Secondly, as an importer of cars, it doesn't affect me at all as any other importer you just bring your own cars over so there'll always be a supply.Finally, briggers, we have 2 EP82s and an EP91 Glanza. Having driven the 3, I prefer the EP82 have to say....like the look of the Glanza but I feel the handling isn't as good as the 82 (and the 82 in stock trim is pretty poo at corners). Also the 82 feels quicker and sharper, more responsive. Plus the 82 is lighter out of the box. Have to say though, the syncros in the EP91 (might just be in my head) seem tougher and better, the box is far more solid with gear changes, much better feel, very direct and positive change. The 82 (ones I've driven) don't seem quite as sharp...but saying that my 82 has a twin plate clutch so it's a bitch anyway..and our other 82 has a hybrid paddle clutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
