If you like the imports I would say go for a Nissan. They are my favorite import, from Japan anyhow.
There a few people from Canada that will be able to help you around here. Sorry I couldn't be more specific; it is just that there are people here that can help you pick an import a lot better than I can. As for the Honda/Ford statement, I just have one thing to say; LOL.

$20k is prolly less there than it is here, but i'd say: (93-98) TT supra, 93-95 Rx7, 3000gt vr4, 300zx TT, 240sx w/ an sr20det already swapped, or you could get the older turbo versions of those cars and have money left over for preformance mods?
just make sure it has booooooooost

Have you seen the new Dodge SRT-4? I think that is around that price. If you're in Ontario just check out autotrader.ca. They got lots of used cars in there for good prices if you know how to shop.

I'd say do something different! Get a an older Subaru Impreza, and swap the engine out for the STI model.

For less than 20k you can buy a used low milege Z28/Trans AM or a SS/WS6...
And have money left over for performance upgrades too boot... Just thought i'd mention that, cause nobody ever seems to remember the Old F-Body...

Nah, he's one of those people who only wants an import
 There are lots of good choices, just look around and see what appeals to you. Then ask about how you can make it faster, and how much it will cost.

Well there are so many cars that people think are 'good looking' with 'kick ass power' in it. Opinions will vary.
Here's my list: Toyata MR2 Turbo, Nissan 240sx, Nissan 300ZX (twin turbo), Toyota Supra, Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (awd), Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (awd), BMW M3, BMW 328is, and Mazda RX7. Go drive them all!

Yeah, as are Porsches! Yes, by that he will mean a Japanese import, because for some reason kids nowadays think Japanese cars are the best...
 Nice Bimmer BTW.

well for about 20k canadian i think you would probably have enough to get an old datsun 240z or 280z then drop in a supercharged 350 then you'd have yourself a super sleeper and quite possibly have some money left over if you spend wisely and some of the work yourself

I'd say get a 944 Turbo, personally, but if you are set on a Japanese car...
You can get a few engines for the 240SX, such as the SR20DET, or CA18DET. With minor upgrades you can make around 300hp on either of these engines, and if you want to really get into it, 600hp isn't unrealistic. For the Impreza, you can get an EJ20 with around 300hp already, and bolt it right in. You can get as much power out of that engine as with the Nissan. Costs are around $1500USD for the SR20DET, $900 for the CA18DET, and $5400 for the Subaru EJ20. It would cost an additional $300 USD to deliver it to western Canada. Since the company that sells these engines is in Montreal, you won't have to pay duty, fill out any customs forms or anything like that. www.jspecauto.com BTW, here are some pics of a "Strawberry", a 89-94 240SX hatchback with the front end from a 99+ Silvia on it.     Now why can't more people make Japanese cars like that? No stupid spoiler, no stupid gimmicks, just a clean, beautiful car.
