Europe doesn't get the HS250h. The Toyota Avensis, which looks eerily similar to the HS250h, is sold here on the other hand. And it's dull compared to the stylish French competition (Renault Megane, Citroen C5 and Peugeot 508).

C5 was stunning when it came out... but 3-4 years later its ok. Avensis doesnt look bloated, if anything pre-facelift looks too narrow with weird headlights. I think facelift Avensis looks very good, especially Wagon.
508 is boring too, nothing special about its akward lines at all. Maybe thats because I see a lot more 508's and C5's than you? Plenty of them around here due to low pricing.

They actually export the Avensis to Japan.
These are exported from Toyota UK Derbyshire factory
Then the radio HU unit and navigation systems are installed in Tahara, Japan (yeah the place where they make Lexus cars).
P.S.
Anyways, the HS250h was useless imho. I'm glad to see it go on the chopping block
