This is a three car garage that must consist of cars that weren’t sold in your market, but eligible to legally import. All three must be from different countries, and have different drive trains (FWD, RWD, AWD, and 4x4)

No cost cap, because I’m to lazy to make one.

For me.

R32 GT-R

In Europe most vehicles that are interesting are/have been available, so this is difficult. The Kei car segment is the first thing that comes to mind.

Autozam AZ-1 (or Suzuki Cappuccino or Honda Beat). MR layout.

An Australian Ute. Holden Commodore or something? FR layout

So now I need something American Or Korean and it needs to be AWD or FWD and it shouldn’t have been available in Europe. Has the US ever made anything worth while that wasn’t RWD, wasn’t a truck and also wasn’t exported?

One could argue that the particular Accord in your picture is actually a british car since they were built in Britain and not sold in Japan.

There was a Japanese built version of that car, called the Euro-R.

I thought that was the JDM Accord with somewhat different body.

I’m pretty sure there was an AWD SRT-8 300. Idk if y’all got it.

Idk if it’s old enough for y’all to import though.

The body is different, but the engine is more or less identical. Either way, the JDM car took its name from the European one.

There’s no age limitation, we can import anything. But the AWD 300C was available at dealerships here. Even as a wagon 300C, so a 300C with the rear of a Magnum.
