2005+ interesting cars to import?

[ragu]

Now that many of 1990s JDM cars have seen their escalation for various reasons eg US import, buyers racing 30+, insta etc, I’m starting to think about cars that are legal to import today in Canada but not in US or have lots of eyes on them. What would be such examples? I can’t think of any post 2005…

Open to jdm or European markets.

CLK Black Series in 2 years. Euro spec with the recarro seats and extended carbon fiber. It’s too bad the market went nuts at the worst time. Completely unobtainable for me now. Lots more cars I’d like at that price range.

In terms of cars that you would not be able to find in a USDM equiv...

Perhaps Alfa Romeo Brera? Not exactly an exciting driver from what I have read but great look to them.

If you are really quirky, perhaps a Citroen C6 - the last true weird (mainstream) French car?

You’ve got about a year for the R35 GT-R to be legal

Isn’t that already here, or you’re referring to steering wheels on rhd?

Scirocco

TVR Sagaris

FD2 Civic Type-R (or FN2 Civic Type-R hatch if you're feeling whimsical, i think those were EUDM rather than JDM though.)

MY2007, so March for those guys

B7 rs4 avant- I’d take one of those with the wingback seats and proper steering wheel.

Yeah, you asked about importing

But you might be better off sending them back to japan… cheapest one outside of auctions right now

I don’t see how importing makes sense right now, especially with shipping cost increases, don’t even want to know what ro-ro is these days

And shipping delays, probably add two months onto your timeline.

That looks like a modified Monte Carlo SS.

Now we're talkin. I was struggling to think of a LHD car that I'd want (that's attainable) in this category, that's a great call though.

It's the epitome of Australian cars, the GM ute.
