I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to cars that are not available in your country (but probably should be).

Upload a small pic, provide a brief description or a link and mention the country / continent that the car is not available in.

Looked in the back of road and track lately?

yeah, you gotta buy the engine and tranny seperately!! WTF!!!

Why dont we get the Peugeot 607 in the USA?? For aprox. $32,000, this thing would kill the Toyota Avalon, Maxima, and other low end lux's.

On a few recent episodes of Sports Car Revolution on SPEED, they featured a segment on the production process for the Noble M13 in South Africa. Very interesting.

Not available in Canada well, not available in America at all

I bet ausies are sick of falcons already.

Probably. They could send a few our way, then.

You're spot on with the Falcon, mogulmonster.

VW Lupo GTI anybody?

how bout this ...

the Zil Limousine

Hell yes. That thing look like so much fun.

Holden Ute. Specifically the SS.



http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/54718/

Personally I'm not sure it'd sell that well but i think if offered in rather smaller numbers, with a good base price it has potential.

cry Me to!

And to the Focus RS, they don't make it anymore...
Btw, if you wan't the Peugot 607, you should try the 407! It's beatyful, drives REALLY well and it ain't expensive either!

That car is....interesting

Why don't we get the Ford Mondeo in the US?? I actually hate Ford, but the Mondeo is a nice looking car. Looks luxurious inside. A luxury Ford?? who wouldv'e imagined?? (The GT is a sports car, not a luxury vehicle)

VeeDub R32.

TVR Tuscan S



Couldn't link directly to the Tuscan S page but here's the TVR homesite.

It as well as all the other current TVRs are not available here in the US.

I saw one the other day!

edit- sry, you live in canada

How hard would it be to import an R32 (or any US-only car, like MR2) to Canada? What's involved?

Way to rub salt in the wonds

goddamnit read a fucking dictionary kid

Refer to the Transport Canada's website: http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety/importation/impusae.htm

The bad news : If a car was not originally manufactured to meet Canadian requirements and is less that 15 years old , then you are shit out of luck trying to import one. So this will make it impossible to import a late model R32 or MR2 from the U.S. to Canada.

Separated at birth??

Forrest, I check out every Holden I see nearly. I have NEVER seen a SS that colour! yuck!

Black Jack, thats the VX SS, a model superceded about 2 years ago. The VY SS is the model of Forrest's pic which in the next month or so is itself going to be superceded.

But, yes, I agree, all you other countries are missing out not getting Commodores
The falcons do nothing for me though

Wounds...sorry I wasn't aware it was such a big deal to make a type-o

Its not, but you make them every post.


On Topic -

http://www.cosworth-technology.co.uk/

I would like to have this car:

(sorry for image size just copied link from a google image search)

I like the emerald color on the 1st picture.

has to be the Renault Vel Satis.

Imagine a huge luxury sedan, very refined and comfortable, super smooth ride... and one of the most unique shapes you'll ever see. This is super cool, who wouldn't take this over crap like a town car?

the velsatis is horrible to drive .... and apparently a super fop ... plus it has the F factor

The VelSatis is ridiculously ugly, and you know it's built like every other damn Renault out there (i.e: poorly). That's one of the cars I'm glad hasn't made it over the pond.

How many Renault u've drivin' m8??

Lol most of the cars are availlable (sorry for bud english) in The Netherlands, and really the R32 isn't that cool..

It's "ice cold" according to our cool wall forum

When I started this thread, I asked that when a car was posted , the poster should indicate what country / continent the car was "not available" in.

Maybe due to the high number of VW fanboys here. But imo the cool wall lacks logic. ex. the r32 poll: (as of time posted)

Ice cold: 11
Cool: 10
Uncool: 2
MJ Uncool: 4

Seems as though it would be cool based on the average of all votes. Not just which vote got highest.

Eh, but we don't do average...averages would change the cool wall around a lot for all the cars.
