As far as why the foreign companies haven't brought all those models stateside, I don't know. Must be the Redneck American mentality that it's all about the V8! My only guess is that the price of gasoline/diesel here in the states hasn't driven this change. In Central America, the price of Gasoline has been consistently over $5 USD in the past few years. We have it easy here in the states when it comes to pumping 93 octane.
what does this have to do with the price of tea in China? Im sure I could spout off another dozen cars that arent available here, but what would that prove? I'm talking about cars that are actually attainable, hence why I only gave a mere mention to Porsche, and the GTR.
So what were you saying again about Japanese turbo engines being available in the US? Or did you just want to interject your bias against domestics? I'm not sure what you're yammering about to be honest.
