What car(s) that is currently not sold in North America would you like to see imported?  The only condition is that the car(s) must be one(s) that you actually would intend on buying.

One?

More like a list.
I'm not limiting it to just one. Write a list if you like, but they must be cars you would actually intend on buying.

Alfa Romeo MiTo




Fiat 500





FPV F6 Typhoon

Any one of the many Kia Rondo-type MPVs available in Europe that comes with a stick and 30+ mpg. (Though I'd buy used, and thus not benefit the manufacturer who'd import it.)

I would buy used as well, but if the cars I posted were here, I would buy.

Honestly, there isn't too much I would consider buying that we don't already get. I'd like to pick up a used CLS350 in a few years if one were available, though.

Likewise.

280Z Turbo

I can't afford to buy anything, therefore I can't participate.

The obvious answer would be some hopped-up STI, but that would be too predictable and easily home-made with the Cobb catalog. 

I'm going to have to think about this one.  Srsly.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Alfa Romeo 159

This would top my list.

Other cars I can think of off the top of my head:

Alfa Romeo Brera
Fiat 500
Opel Corsa

And if they make it:

Golf GTD

Raza

Cars I would actually buy? 

Hmm, I can't think of anything.

Oh wait, here we go:

Lotus Elise S:

134bhp, 127lb-ft

Can't think of anything else.

I'm pretty sure the Sagaris IS going to be sold here soon, it will just be heavier to meet the safety regulations.

Been gone. Was replaced with an Opel badged Skystice.

I want an R34 GT-R, personally.

If I can't have that, how about an M5 wagon?

TVR shut down UK production.  Have they actually opened up a plant somewhere else?
