hey guys
So a buddy of mine lives in Switerland and he said he saw a gt-4 in germany and all the cars in germany are left hand drive just like ours. So they did make a LHD Gt-4 but they didnt bring it to the US. I wonder if its possible to import such a car from germany. |

Yeah, most of us have seen quite a few LHD GT-Fours before.
 It would be very cool to be able to import one from Germany.

no cause of exhaust and such, but you could bring it to the US and call it just a GT since its LHD and redo the exhaust to US standards and you'd be all gravey

Whats more fun bout being on the wrong side of the car?
Personally i'd opt for a lhd one since I know how to shift with the right hand. -------------------- |

LHD is better in my opinion for the US casue its much easier to pass on widing single lane roads with out killing yourself. Anyone seen a LHD GT-4 here in the US? Hey Blinkymunky I'm in Daytona Beach FL. Plus we are having a celica/hotimport nights meet in Miami. Just three of us
