Funny, that.  The usual thing on the green island is that we 
all deride Japanese cars as being characterless, boring and 
prone to tin-worm.

But Ireland buys more Japanese cars per head than any other 
European country.  We've no car manufacturers - so we've no 
quotas.  Toyota (eeeuuugh) is the best selling marque here for 
the last two zillion aeons.

However ... the Toyota Hi-ace (refered to as the Hi-ack-eee ;) 
) was the most popular light commercial until 1992.  Now it's 
#2.

WHY?   (heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee)
