The AMV8 will be available in a standard 6 speed manual transmission or the F1 paddle shift transmission. I'm still not sure which one I'm gonna go with?

I like this topic. Some of the cars I like have already been confirmed to reach U.S., and some are just purely dreams.


The ones confirmed to reach our country:
1. Subaru Legacy Turbo
2. Acura TL
3. Audi S4 sedan

The ones I wish to come sometime soon in the future:
1. Nissan GTR
2. Toyota Supra
3. Mazda RX-7
4. Acura NSX
5. Toyota Caldina
6. Hard top Honda S2000
7. Lotus Elise

The ones that have never been made and just my crazy ideas:
1. Four door Porsche sport sedan
2. Ferrari enters $80,000 range sports car market
3. Honda enters sports pickup truck market
4. Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura, Nissan/Infiniti each make one super sports car that is good enough to compete against cars like Ferrari 360 modena, Posche 911 Turbo, and Aston Martin V12 Vanquish etc.
5. Subaru enters near-luxury car market

Damn liquid, lucky you! I think that the AMV8 is one of the best looking cars to ever exist... It's lines remind me of the Ferrari 250 GTO

The New Aston V8 reminds me a LOT of the Vanquish. I had the opportunity to drive a Vanquish and it is absolutely amazing! The only thing that I miss about the dealership I used to work at is the sound of those beautiful v 12's. Got to drive a lot of Jags there too.......probably the only manufacturer in the world with worse reliability than Daewoo. With Jaguar we would replace 25-30 engines, transmissions and rearends per month out of 125 cars we received each month.....I am not talking about customer cars, I am talking about cars fresh off the trailer from the factory. 1 in 5 was shipped with absolutely no fluids in the car. Stay away from Jag, they are not worth the headache.
