Yes!
I used to drive by one with the school bus every day. Same color. I am not sure about their performance, but the looks are just killer. If they had them here, I would own one to see how I like it. (I have owned quite a few of my "must own" cars, just to get it out of the system.) George |

TVR's are pretty cool, I saw some Prodrive thing with a Subie drivetrain that looked fun, made Jeremy pitch his cookies driving circles. There were a lot of Lotus and Lancia vehicles they never sold here that I would covet.

Cadillac CTS turbo diesel. That's right: a massively-torqued diesel that can pull the headlights out of a BMW M5 while getting twice the fuel mileage. But GM will only let Europeans have it. And the god damned thing is built in N. America.
Way to go, Government Motors. ![]()

Now, I'm not all into the autoblogs, so it's possible that these are actually going to be imported, but I doubt it:
Mercedes A class. Saw one in Hamburg, and forever thought that they would sell like hotcakes to young urbanites in the big cities: ![]() And, the new SLS AMG gullwing: ![]() Again, I'm *presuming* that it never makes it over here.

+1 on the 1 series 3 and 5 door hatchbacks. And I want the 120d, 150-160hp, 6 speed diesel, 50+mpg. I drove one of these in Spain for a week in the summer of 2007. Great little car.

They were supposed to have imported a lot of cars; Cosworth Escorts, R5 Turbos, R2000s, even some Elise cars. But at least a few were butchered apart and sold with Acura Integra engines.
I think Sun International is out of business now. At least their website hasn't seemed to change in the last three or four years.
