7 Stylish Cars You Cant Buy In The US | Bankrate.com

Americans don't want diesel cars. BS.

Most articles about US fuel economy don't mention diesel cars.

Enough rain for today already.

Those are all imperial MPG figures I'm pretty sure. Still lots of cool stuff, diesel mini would be awesome, but people always forget that there are two different gallons.

Nissan GTR - Nissan Skyline GTS25T - Toyota GTFour - Rover Mini - Toyota Land Cruiser HJ60 - Cadillac Eldorado - BMW E30 - BMW 135i

Stylish? I think not. They all look like a soap bubble in a wind tunnel.

What a list of hopeless crappy cars (with possibly the exception of the Audi A1 that I haven't driven) - anything that is French is by definition crap and will fall apart in about 6 months - the Ford KA? Give me a ****ing break - total rubbish...

...consider yourselves lucky not to be afflicted by such junk.

#7 -ford figo is a fugly little pile of junk - 33 mpg, didnt the fiesta from 20 yrs ago its obviously based on do that?

I like the Peugeot 508 and the Citroen DS5 at least from the 3/4 view. No idea what the insides look like.

There's a ~300 hp Ford Focus on the other side of the pond that might sell over here if they offered it.

83 300D Turbo with manual conversion, early W126 vented front rotors and H4 headlights 400,xxx miles
08 Suzuki GSX-R600 M4 Slip-on 22,xxx miles
88 Jaguar XJS V12 94,xxx miles. Work in progress.

All my daily drivers where/are old. Apart from a newly acquired 420ML. I bought a 1983 1300 Golf in 1983 and 4 month later is gotten written off by a guy crossing my lane.
Never bought another new, or would want to.

Although...I rented a 2011 Hyundai iLoad van on a UK trip for 3 weeks. Overall mpg....taking into account the liters to US gallon equation....was 34.8mpg and I drove 1800 some miles and mostly at and above the national speed limit.

Was powered by a 2.5 Turbo diesel and 5 speed manual trans. Can't buy one here. .
so, I'm fitting a 1999 Jetta TDi to a '85 VW Westy .... so still staying with the old diesel machinery.
