Tvr

How come the rest of the world gets cars like the civic Type-R
and this cool looking TVR thing from the UK and here in the US we get dodge neons and the like?

Is there a con spiracy here or what?

Yea you can import almost any car to the UK last time I was in London I saw a Ford F-150, it really looked out of place.

Lots of Skyline GTR's and Evo's there too, there Evo's have way more HP than the ones we get here.

Don't get me wrong there are a lot of small crappy cars over there.
the point I'm trying to make is that Europe and Japan in general get a much better selection of cool cars IMO, however it's starting to get a lot better here in the USA if only the US could produce a nice tuner car besides the junk that there making now I would considering buying American.
