It's not nearly as easy as you think it is. If that was the case you would see JDM Aristos all over the U.S. no???? I actually looked into before I bought my GS.

The reasons that they seem to be cheap to you across the pond is the running costs here are a lot more.

Annual road tax bill is €1,300 on a 3litre = around $1,700
Petrol here is €1.32/litre = $6.50/US gallon.

That first one looks pretty wicked, but wouldn't that be a '98 or do they classify them differently overseas (I don't know why they would)? '98 is the first year of the 2nd Gen in the U.S.
