There really hasnt been an import that ive driven thats impressed
I have been in many American cars. From old Fox Bodies, SS's, many many stangs, and even a Vette. Like I said and most ppl know they were moving there ass's in a straight line. They were perfect drag cars but to me that was it. I don't really care for some of the american cars because of looks, interior, and most of them just dont handle as well as and import. But yes I admit I was impressed when we took off in some of them. But these are big engine cars. If they can't go fast then what the hell are they for?
Im more impressed with imports. For example an Impreza WRX STI. Its a small sedan with a 2.5 turbo flat-4 boxer with AWD. And it still runs with the big boys. Doing 0-60 in under 5 sec. and the 1/4 in the 13's to high 12's. Plus it can damn sure handle. That to me is impressive.
But its not just about the Japaness cars. I love european cars. They look good, have great build quality, a nice interior, handle great, and most of them are pretty fast.
If I wanted a big V8, and one day I do, it still would not be American. I'd get an new Audi S4 with a V8 or if I had the money an Audi RS4 also has a V8. To me Audi with a V8> Almost any American car with a V8.
But thats just me.
