Any car you'd like to see in America?

Snowdriver · August 8th, 2004, 11:55 PM

There's a lot of cars that isn't sold in America. Was wondering if there's a particular car you'd like to see on the roads in the US?

I'm mostly interested in normal cars Ford's, VW etc. not supercars that normal people can't afford. images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I don't care about most normal cars sold outside of North America. Most of the non-imported European cars are excessively small or diesel, and most of the non-imported Asian cars have found their way onto American roads (Skyline for example), or have been released a few years after release in their home country.

The brand I really want to see is TVR. I will be ecstatic the first day I see a TVR on the street. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

It would be cool if there was the Renault Clio and the Focus RS here in the states....they are priced well and pretty fun to drive according to TG.

I compltely forgot about the Renault Clio. I'd love to see some of those over here, especially the V6 (although that isn't exactly a "normal" car).

I've seen many pictures of Tommy Kaira ZZIIs before, I'm just going off of what Snowdriver asked in the original post:

I would like to see Alfa 156 GTA available in North America.

transtek · August 9th, 2004, 03:29 AM

Well, I agree with you guys.. I would die for an RS Focus.. I was in the UK at the time of the launch and watched TG on the TV live!!! Great stuff!
Here in Mexico, we don't get Scoobies or Evo's either, so either of those would be good, BUT we DO get the Clio 172 and the V6 version is around, probably grey market imports.
God I miss European Fords - Ford USA cannot design decent, affordable, sporting cars, good pickups an all, but their versions of cars like the Escort, Focus, etc. are not a patch on their European bretheren (remember the Escort Cosworth?.. say no more!)

Focus RS, Renault Clio, Vauxhaul Astra, Vauxhaul VX220 Turbo, Citreon C2 GT/VTR, the new Citreon C4, etc.
