That is unreal. Why must North Americans be totally "forced" into such
a narrow selection of cars? I mean, if someone wants to be bothered to
make the effort and accept the inherent risks of bringing over a
"one-of-a-kind" car, like a new Peugeot for example, the governm*nt
shouldn't try and thwart you. You can bring just about anything to
Western Europe, why can't it be the same for North America?
If (more like "when") I permanently move out of NOrth America, this will
be one of the reasons for doing so. I, like many of you, love cars and
hate being restricted to a few european marques and a whole load of
Japanese and American crap. At least in Europe some of the Japanese
cars are interesting.
