They were sold in the U.S. until the '80s or '90s. They're probably dependable because Toyota didn't want to add all the emissions crap required for the U.S. They made a neat little sports car in the '60s that looked similar to the Datsun 240Z that also could not be imported to the U.S. because it was chain driven. I know this because I backed a mud-covered jeep up the hood of one after a typhoon on Okinawa. (Funny story involving an Art. 15 followed!)
