^ ^ It's not that importing a JDM car into the US is costly or difficult. It is impossible to import an entire car legally. The only avenues available are 'non-legal' ones.

The easiest and cheapest way is to have a US titled Celica the same color as a GT4 in canada. Drive the Celica across to canada, swap the VIN plates onto the GT-4, send the celica to the scrapmetal yard and drive your GT4 home. Don't forget to pray on your way across the border.

No. In Canada they are legal if 15 years old. In the USA they are legal after 25 years old.

i didn't read all of the last post but it is possible to get a real GT4 in america legally... there was one for sale on here just a little bit ago in ohio for 25k.... its not IMPOSSIBLE so don't say that

No. It is not federally legal. In order to do so, they need to have crash test data, and Toyota will not supply that. So they need some cars to crash; you willing to import enough cars for that (I hear numbers between 6-15 are needed)?

This is what Motrex went through when they legalized the R33's. It cost them a ton of money.
