Did a search and found 4, assuming different plate # means different car, since they all seems to have the same color combo, but I have heard those guys do swap plate a lot on the same car, so can't be sure.

Allocation was just initially from Toyota. After the cars left Toyota, anyone can import any cars into HK.

Unlike the U.S., HK have very loose vehicle regulations, you can import just about any cars from anywhere in the world. The only strict rule is you can't legally register it unless it is right hand drive.
