Again, not uncommon in NZ. Well Cedrics and Cefiros anyway. I think in the UK you'd struggle to get people out of Mercs and BMWs of that era, but these were obviously quite expensive in NZ and had a reputation for being expensive to fix compared to Japanese imports.
That era of Japanese sedan/wagon aren't exactly pretty either which probably didn't help.
