Considering they were to be shipped to Ireland it makes sense to offer in UK.
However I expect to see far more new model CHRs than the Prius due to current UK trends for SUV models and cost.
That's what the AutoCar thought as well. Nice looking car at the front, ok-ish from the rear (saloon-like looks and similar styling to the rear of the current Supra). Not so enamoured with the dash/console area - the Corolla does that better.
Not cheap either, even for the 'basic' 2L one, which presumably is the same power unit combo as in the upper spec Corolla. Not sure who would go for the 4WD uprated sporty (quite quick) PHEV though at the even higher price point - for that, many will more likely go for something Germanic.
Rather like the lackluster sales of the older sister car from Lexus, I can't see this doing much trade, even with mini cabs.
