Are we surprised? Of course not.
They had already been unable to bring vehicles from Japan for a long time.
Just think, they only sold 183 last year and 200 in the first 10 months of this year.
The reason is clear; the e-Call issue that could not be resolved with the headquarters in Japan, the lack of suitable engines... https://t.co/woZb1DADyS
