Re: Chevrolet Tahoe arrives in Japan!!!

They also sell/sold the Trailblazer there if memory serves. Never really did all that well (you'd be hard pressed to find one on Japanese roads), but it wasn't as "over the top" for Japan as a Tahoe would be. It won't fit into most parking spaces, and the "Kei" car rules there, after all.

I'd guess the market for the Tahoe there is similar to the market for the Monroe Ironhide conversion of the GMC Topkick here. That's to say, a very few buyers for a huge truck meant to stand out of the crowd.

Maybe some Astro buyers of yore -- a surfer subculture that opens up the hatch and fills it with speakers to breakdance to on portable fiberglass dance floors at the beach.
