    Any TVR would make me happy. Check them out here:

    The Noble has gotten great reviews. You can already buy a Noble in the States but without the drivetrain.

    not completely true. the company has to sell you the drivetrain and chassis seperate so its classified as a kit car. ditto for the caterhams

    tvr, definitely.

    some of the cars are sort of max power-like, but others, the griffith and tuscan for instance, are on aesthetic par with ferrari, imo.

    also, the tvr speed 12 is probably the most insane supercar ever built.

    Are Pagani's imported here? Are they even in business? I don't know they're so damn rare I never hear anything of them. I would like to see them here, if they aren't already.

    Grey markey.

    A full US certification would be nice so they could install the engine @the factory.

    Someone who should know told me and its been announced by numerous people. And some have been seen in CA. Ditto for the smart car, next year.

    Motorex (iirc) imports them

    Not imported here, but there are about 4 here.

    Caterham and Noble you just buy the parts seperatley and they put you in touch with people who put them together. Its i different engine i think tho. Road and Track have had articles on both cars. I'll try to dig it out.
