Is there any such thing today? With the global markets, internet, magazines, etc are there any cars that are being imported in small numbers or whatever that could be "discovered" these days? Doesn't have to be a car we as car people like.
What say you?

This forum is so 'Car Aware' that it would be mighty difficult to come up with an 'unknown.
I saw a Skoda at the Halifax airport a few years ago and knew at a glance what it was, as it's VW ownership/lineage was apparent.
Now most folks have no clue about the origin and lineage of vehicles. I mentioned a BMW to my MIL one day a decade or so ago and she asked, "Who makes that?"
Having said that, for North Americans, a visit to Europe would expose you to all sorts of cars that fly under our radar because they don't get press here. Hopefully, we can forget the Dacia. Maybe you were spared, south of the border.
