Being in the US, I think I speak for a majority of the car nuts here, when I say that there are a lot of cars that never make it to the US because of various reasons (most of the time, DOT crash regulations and smog regulations).

Out of curiosity, does the rest of the world wish they got a car that we have in the US, that doesn't get exported? Corvette maybe? Or do you just laugh when we wish about cars like and RS4 or RS3 even?

[TT]

I have to admit we basically get already all the best cars around so I never really desidered to see other cars imported. Of course we have some Vetts and Vipers thanks to grey or black import markets, so they are around anway, but rare :

Its kinda rare the situation , my couintry being southamerican has not such good cars , but we get the RS4 , S3 , the porsche gt3 is here for about 3 years ago , the impreza sells here from 1996 , and just 6 years later it arrived to the us , cheap perfomance cars i bet that we get them b4


EDIT- Huh .. but reading the topic ... i guess we South Americans do not count .....

[gis]

yeah there are some cars i wish we had.for one is the dodge srt-4 i read sumwere the other day that we are gettin the chrysler PT cruiser with the same 2.4 turbo engine so maybe this the closest we will get to havin the srt-4,im not a fan of american cars but i would liek to see a few vettes and vipers flying around.

Well actually I think Dodge Viper new hot ride(srt-10) is sold in Belgium for the very first time.
But I have to admit, there aren't a lot US cars driving around here, and I don't

think there will ever be, because of the outrageous taxes(Belgium has one of the

highest, if not the heighest in Europe)wich is kind of sad :cry:

[gucom]

hmmm vettes arent really rare here in holland, ive seen plenty. I think in europe theres just not much demand for big cars that arent exactly fuel economic. Atleast thats the image ppl here have of US cars, dunno if its true, cos i hardly see any.

I only saw the Viper in a Motor Show.We have lots of Mustangs,but not oficially imported.Hummers are oficially imported since 20.02.2004

Although we get a few american cars imported, alot of buyers dont really want to buy it. Basically the import tax make them look bad interms of pricing. Put it this way if a Caddy Serville cost as much as an E-Class, which would you get?

A chevrolet corvette is available in belgium you know ... simply walk into a Opel GM dealer

we can't get the infinity's and that's a shame ...
the new Integra isn't available neither (or not yet... for the old version of the intrga it took a few year to come over, but we received immediatly and only the 190 hp version wich was very good ...

For a long time there wasn't many exciting cars made in the US that other
countries would envy, but that seems to be changing with cars like the STR
Dodges and other Chryslers as well as some cars from other makes. I'm
sure a lot of countries are envying the Ford GT and will perhaps find them
selves one day envying the Chrysler ME 4/12.

i'd like to see the lancer evo in canada

[stracing]

no i don't have any desires for cars from the US, but we do have them after you fork out a large amount of doe

[LotusGT1]

Vipers and Corvette's are available here. The only desire I can think of are some japanese specials that stay in Japan. Oh, and we don't get Skyline's and such, that's a shame.

[oldsnail]

in canada, they have a stupid 15 year old rule. something like, if the vehicle does exist in the canadien market, we have to wait 15 years until it becomes admissable. so this year is when importers start imporing 89 R32 GTR's and Silvia's from japan.. so if we want a R34, we have to wait 13 more years.

I have no desire for US Car, because there tons of good cars from Europe and Japan which US cannot have and does not have: New RSX Type R, NSX Type R, Alfa Romeo, Pegeout 206 and etc.
