it's been like that all the time. Some brands like fiat, alfa romeo, citroen, peugeot, opel etc. are not officially for sale in the us. And most cars are equipped differently in Europe.
by the way once in a while i see european car around here. I saw Peugeot, Alfa Romeos, and some models like Ford Mondeo. May be some people import them to US individually.

pagani zonda should be number 1 on that list!
and now that fiat own chrysler, hopefully they'll bring over the brera and the mito.

+1000 the Zonda is a badass car!!!
I am guessing that Fist would want to bring at least the 500 to US shores, to compete with the Mini as it does in Europe.
The M5 E61 would be great to have here, they are beautiful and FAST.

im not too crazy about the 500, i think the alfa mito is 10 times better looking.

as for Zonda.. I think if person can afford to buy one he can also afford to take it here from Europe.
and Alfa Romeo's are designed by Pininfarina. No doubt they look nice.

I really don't think the M5 Touring would have much interest in the US anyway.
