You could just try getting a Toyota Zelas from the UAE. Same car and you won't have to ship it across an ocean. May be cheaper.

German roads have fewer potholes.

^lol, are you staying there temporary or permanent? Trying for the Zelas doesn't sound bad either, and if you bring it to the U.S. it'll get you all the ladies lol, but wait it's a Toyota...

I think the main differences between international automobiles are varying safety standards and small conveniences.

Warranties are for losers... Wait, they gave me an unlimited lifetime warranty... What a sell out...

Not to mention, the more I mod, the more the warranty is void

its makes practical sense, how would a German toyota dealership know how to/capable to service a foreign scion? true the differences are most likely minor, but its still a completely different car that does not exist in your country.
