        The possibilities are endless. My first choice would be a Lancia Delta Integrale. Then I would want either an 80's Mercedes G Wagon or Unimog. A vintage Cooper S would be a fun import too.

        Why does everyone keep mentioning the new Sciroccos? Unless I'm missing something they aren't importable to the US. Same with the Cosworth Escorts and any e36 or newer BMW. I would bring back a euro s50, maybe even consider doing a shipping container full of sweet euro goodies.

          hence "if you could". I saw some in France and I want one so badly. Maybe in 2040 when then become importable ;D

                  Daytona violet M5 Touring is definitely one to consider. Helps that the lady likes the color purple so it would help justify it. 3.8L + 6 speed

                    A NEW diesel powered D90 Defender, not some 25 year old basket case that needs another 25g's put into it to make it decent. Some minor mods on it would be ok too. Sadly though will be stuck with the 25 year old rule, and the feds are impounding and crushing well restored examples because they are "not old enough "LOOKING""

                    kinda like this thing but in LHD

                      E36 Touring and when you import it throw a S50b32 in the shipping container as well. Then when you get back swap it!
