They seized that opportunity long before 1982. The 1974 corrolla worked well, had great fit and finish, got great gas mileage during the first gas crisis. They also imported hilux pickups, and the celica (2/3 scale dodge challenger copy) by 1982 they were no longer concidered, curiosities, or even with grudging respect, but were concidered objects of desire.
