Cars you would like to see brought to america?

Well heres a question, what cars in other countries would you like to see in the states. The toyota Hilux pickup truck, i would want that to be sold in the states, and the avensus? (s/p?) to, seems like a pretty cool car. Any others?

It would be nice to see some of the French designs such as Citroen and Renault.

Once in a blue moon I see one here in Montreal and also Alfa Romeo. All recent ones, must have been imported or they are from Europe and now living in Canada.

I've seen a Renault near my place with saying it was part of Government of Canada. Also saw another one that was all-electric, which was weird.

I'd also like to see AWD Camry and Corolla All-Tracs and wagons offered here. And, Subaru....bring back the purple Amythist paint jobs that you had here in the early 1990's and STILL have overseas. Ditto for Cadillac....and bring over the BLS.

Other nice and useful cars we should be getting and don't:

Ford Mondeo (and wagon)

MG roadster

VW Lupo (it has a small 1.2L diesel that can get 80-90 MPG)

Hyundai Equus

Alfa Romeo Spyder

Mercedes A-Class

Vauxhall Lightning (essentially a twin of the Saturn Sky)

Diesel? Maybe, but being Toyota products, we will more likely get hybrids.

I like the Toyota Crown's, but it's unlikely they will bring them over. But a luxurious Alphard minivan sounds good to me.
