Thats funny it made me chortle. Yes, chortle.
And I would think exotics or sports cars would be your biggest business. Shipping isn't free. Hell, its all good (love the 206 styling, ahhh, amazing for an econo-box!)

Good Point, I didn't expect you to be a Lotus and Evo dealer only, Of course you'd have to sell bsic cars to get ongoing buisness. I think it's a great Idea. How many people in NA do you know that have a Peugot 206. Or a Renault? It might cost more, but I'd still buy one. You'd have to sell the following makes: Peugot, Rover, Renault, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Lotus, TVR, Ford (Cosworth), Mini, Fiat and Alfa Romeo. I know some of these do make it to NA, but it is a great idea.

You could have the Euro-spec cars. And I would pay a little more for something unique, and cool. And people trust some of those brands, too (bidness).
But beware: In england, they sell 1000 Camry's a year, over hear its like 400 000! Big difference, eh.

Yeah, I hate having the same car as everyone else has, that's why I'm so interested in non-NA vehicles.

Toyota Europe actually has a completely different Corolla than we do.

Japan's Corolla looks kinda weird to me.

Sort of like an overgrown, gas-guzzling (by comparison ) version of the Prius.

have you guys seen the commercial for the new INFINITI Q45???? THAT CAR LOOKS SWEET NOW!!
the commercial shows how the car has all voice activated stuff and in the other commerciall i saw it shows how the car has like a camera in the back, so you can see everything behind the car on the navigation system screen

The corolla I'm thinking of, I will scan sometime. It is the previous generation one, with the |new Impreza-type headligts.

yeah, I know what you mean. Like the ones you always see as rally cars with the round headlights. They discontinued that style though.
