Here's the Temp importpage that info's from:

Now what they aren't mentioning there, is that they will be following up on it. Their usual time limit is one year for it to be allowed in the US. The vehicle has to be exported, you can't even junk it in the US. If you fail to do so, they confiscate it and crush it for you at your cost. And obviously you cannot use the vehicle on the road.
