Import Cars?

I got this idea from a thread Here which pretty much turned into a ricer vs. muscle car debate, but most people here are more mature than that .

What does eveyone think about import cars? (Honda, Toyota, Lexus)

I personnaly am American Muscle guy, I own a '64 Chevy Impala SS, but I would love a BMW 3 series.

What do you all like, Tuner/Import, European , or American?

As much of an American as I am, I would have to go with foreign cars (Mercedes, my favorite !). GM is pretty much going out of business now. I mean, with the gas prices the way they are (low right now $2.30), and they price they'll be, no one can afford any trucks here! After the midterm presidential elections, they'll shoot right back up to $3.30

True, but I was hearing about how Toyota had to recall tons of U.S. cars back because of some defect.

Although it costs a good $350,000.00

$85,000 or $350,000.... hmm, I'll stick with the Beemer. If the sky is the limit then I'll take the Bugatti Veyron. 1,001 horsepower, 253mph. And it's all wheel drive, so I could drive it in the MN snow (yeah right).

Ahaha...I'm sure it was because the cars were made in USA and not from Japan :P They may have the same name..but I don't think they're built in Japan :P or are they ? ^_^
