Favorite Vehicle You Can't Get in North America

[genericuser]

Let's hear 'em folks.

Day after day I'm bombarded by cool cars on Autoblog that we can't get in this country.. What are some of your favorites.

I've had my eyes on the Abarth 500 and Focus ST lately. That shouldn't surprise a lot of you, as I have a thing for small weird little cars!

The peugeot rally car is pretty sweet...

That little Abarth is cute, Sean. I wanna pick it up and park it in my closet.

 

[genericuser]

It is cute and cuddly, but under the hood is a performance tuned turbo 4cyl

I love evil little vehicles.

Speaking of Abarths, I caught this vintage Abarth being driven in racing anger.

Sean, you'll like my first two choices here...

Nissan Stagea:

Legacy B4 (tuned by STi):

Sunny/Pulsar gti-r:

EK Civic Type-R:

DC5 Integra Type-R:

NSX-R:

And, of course, the 22B, GT-Rs, etc, etc...

ford falcon in any of the turbo 6 varieties

 

[Foolish]

Cosworth Escort.

AWD, 227bhp, and I used to drive Escorts, so I'm weirdly fond of the idea of a fire-breathing version.
