Cool cars that we don't get in the US.
Idea I got from reading the Ken Block going to Ford thread. Post awesome cars that we never got (not sold by a dealership anywhere in the states). Euro/JDM versions of USDM cars are cool too.
One to get the ball rolling:

Re: Cool cars that we don't get in the US.
Check the wiki info for the US version, but here is the specs on the one posted(I think, I'm not positive he posted the FQ-400). WAY fucking better than any of the US Evos by far.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Evolution
FQ-400- Engine rated 410 PS (300 kW; 400 hp) and 542 N·m (400 lb·ft) of torque. It also includes six-piston calipers, upgraded brakes and 18-inch wheels fitted with Toyo Proxes R1R tyres , a new aero kit that includes additional cooling intakes, vents, a larger air intake in the hood and ducts. Estimated 100 vehicles would be made.[27] It accelerates 0-62 mph in 3.8 seconds (est.) and has a top speed of 155 mph (electronically limited). The car uses Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) a four-wheel-drive system which appropriates power to the wheels that can best use it. Depending on the conditions the driver can select the most suitable set-up for the S-AWC system, three choices - Tarmac, Gravel and Snow - being offered via the wheel-mounted button and displayed in the central instrument binnacle.
Standard equipment for the range-topping Lancer Evolution X model is comprehensive, the FQ-400 coming with Bluetooth hands-free telephone connection, a CD-tuner with 30 Gig hard drive, DVD satellite navigation and privacy glass. Convenience features like remote central locking, automatic headlamps and windscreen wipers increase the FQ-400’s ease of use. Available from June 2009, the FQ-400 is covered by a three year / 36,000 mile warranty. Cost £49,999 (list price).[28]
