    What car should have been sold new in US but wasn't?

    Some of the coolest vehicles ever made were never offered for sale in the US. Whether it was a perceived lack of interest, an inability to pass crash testing, or something else entirely, we've missed out on some unbelievable cars. Even if these cars can be imported after 25 years, it is often expensive and logistically challenging to do so. This weekend we are giving you a chance to (theoretically) right that wrong. What car should have been sold new in the US but wasn't?

          Yeah 94-97, you can thank the EPA and the DOT for killing that run.

          But the good news is you can import any version of the D90 now even the TDI 110's so long as they are 25 years old or older to hell with what the feds say. You can get a decent one all said and done for 10-12k as of right now imported an A-spec d90 is still 12k for a rough one and 40k for a good one l

                  They should've given the E28 528e's and 535i's the Hi-Comp engines that they got in Europe.
                  E23 745i (factory turbo)
                  And that's all I can think of now.
