Well, I can't exactly speak for you guys, I'm from the UK. But my question to you is, what cars that are/were only built in Europe would you like to see in the US?

I've heard stories on Jalopnik sometime ago about a chap importing a Peugeot 205 GTi from the UK.

If I lived in the US, one car I'd import is the Citroen DS5. Just can't imagine how exclusive it would look there.

What classic/modern car would you import (Regardless of whether it's in production or not!)?

Well, I'm in the UK as well, so I'll try and think of cars I wish were only sold in the US so that there were less of the fucking things over here. Priuses, for one. The new Jag that's tartier than an Essex girl in a pastry case. Every Audi made between about '02 and '12. Most new BMWs.

Er, this is just turning into a list of cars I don't like. I could rant about this for hours.

Get this one, you'll be better off:

It still has the chromed pipes:

And it's lighter, faster, more corner friendly than the 166. With more interior space. And it's a waaaggooon!

WAGONS...ALL THE WAGONS, especially the fast ones...and the diesel ones with manual transmissions. They won't sell, but it would make me happy

Well, but..
Everytime i ride my neighbour's car (The Old 166 from the 90's), i feels like a mafia, going into town to shot somebody heads off because he's owe a lot of money to me.

My neighbour also owns the old Giulia Super, and i feel the same.

But maybe that's just me, because watchin g too much italian mafia movies.

Its already been said, but all the sexy, fast wagons.

So let me ask you, what US/ North America car do you not get that you want?

Ford Tauras SHO. No idea why I'm a fan of that car. Never driven it, nor have i ever even seen it in real life.

Do I have a budget? If I want something insane I would go with an Agera or RS6, but if it's a normal car, I want a 1 series hatchback

Apart from the F-type, I totally support your view.

You can technically get yourself a Speedster by switching all of the body panels from a Lotus Elise and swap the engine for a C20LET.
