Out cycling today and passed the Import Centre at Portbury Dock, Hundreds of cars here waiting to be united with their new owners

All those C-HRs, but Toyota drip feeding them into the market.

perhaps not selling as many as they hoped

I ordered a Hybrid Excel last week and I have been told I need to wait until the end of November for delivery. Seems strange when there are so many parked up 😶

Wow. Looks like a success story to me. I cannot see Toyota bringing them all in if they have not been sold.

Sometimes I think the dealers 'manage' deliveries to hit their sales targets.

Amazing ive learnt something today I thought all new cars came in through Southampton or Felixstowe. I've never even heard of Portbury, just had a look on Google maps its massive !

I overlook the Bristol Channel and at least 2 car carriers in and out every day. Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Ssanyong, MG, Peugeot and Citroen inbound, Jaguar, Landrover, Mini and Heavy plant outbound. There is capacity for almost 100,000 vehicles. As you said if you look at Google maps you can see the scale of it. my photos just shot looking at the Toyota compound.

I have the feeling there will be lots of new cracked windscreens with so many new cars (i am also waiting for mine) :lol:

They are all waiting for theirs to be replaced.
