What are all of you're opinions on the different cars that we see in the import scene?
I mean obvioulsy there are the Japanese built cars (Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and Nissan being the biggest imo). But there other companies have played off the idea of a sporty compact car w/ a little I4 that has a lot of potential and appeals to younger people. Some U.S companies didn't really start building these type of cars until semi-recently, and if you look at the Euro-tuner scene is mostly VW's(even thier selection is slim) and not many more European companies build these types of cars. So do you think that the companies like Chevy, Ford, and VW are just "wannabes" for making cars that are similar to alot of the Japanese companies' cars? Discuss.... -------------------- |

If your talking about "tuners" from american companies. The only real "Tuner engine that I know of that is all american is the 420a enginer found in the 4cyl Dodge Avenger, 4cyl Crysler Sebring (Same Car) As well as in the Mitubishi Eclipse Non turbo and Talon Non Turbo (Same Car again)
Im not sure what otehr cars that engine is in. But it is a highly customizable engine that is almost literally bulletproof. Easily turboe. And comes with an extremly large aftermarket backing |
