You mean not buy officially? Because I can import anything I want that's not considered a functional armed combat vehicle, and register anything that adheres to our basic vehicle code.

>>15456477
Germany. By the way basic vehicle code is a simplified term, it is a bit complicated in real life, but there isn't a definite list of banned cars, it depends on the particular model and how much paperwork support you get from the manufacturer. I'm not aware of a modern car that won't pass with some simple changes at the very most.

About the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the Tata Nano, the first car since the Plymouth Prowler to be deemed so unsafe that you can't legally register them new.

the dumb move is to import small cars to America
no one with money wants them
they are too expensive for a small car and get ignored in favour of the second hand market

Because its a 3 cylinder kei car with 60 hp, a top speed of 87 mph and 0-60 of 13 seconds.

It would be pushing itself to its limits just to keep at the speed of US highways.

It's supposed to be cheap as shit. Even if they imported it with that small engine it would still sell tons.
>>
>>15461851
Would you really want a Polo with a bodykit though?
>>
>>15461879

It cost $15,300

That is cheap, but there are much more powerful cars for that price.

Name a new car for that price that isn't a shitbox

>>15456495
It's like that in most euro countries, the only thing that can be really difficult to register are heavily modified cars, like structure or engine swap. But here we can even buy soviet tanks and drive around in them.

Nigger my 90hp mx5 cruises
I know muritards are used to heavy land barges that need a gorillon hp to move around but that's a really light small car with a short gearbox. I drive a 90hp Polo as a company car and it cruises at 85mph without breaking a sweat.
>>
>>15461924
Sweet
>>
>>15458540
They will get clobbered by dumb morons in their burger barges. The people in the s660 will die and Honda will lose its reputation as a safe manufacturer

There is a notable difference between 60 hp and 90 hp
60 hp feels gutless in anything over 500 kg

>>15461921

Kia Forte
Honda Civic
mazda3
hyundai elantra
Feista
mazda 2

Dude the s660 is underpowered for america which is why it wasn't brought here.

If they would have thrown the base civic motor in it, it would have been worth the cost.
>>
>>15461971
All shitboxes. The S660 is an actual light weight, rwd, mid engined sports car. It's also close to 1000lbs lighter than all of those cars.
>>
>>15461980

Close to 1000 lbs less then all those cars,

And also almost 8 seconds slower to 60 then all of them, and 60 mph lower top speed as well.

Its a sporty car with no sport to it.
>>
>>15461991
That's not the point of the car. Those other cars don't drive like sports cars, they drive like econoboxes.
>>
>>15461991
It need 90 hp at least to compete with the smart for four and the twingo 3
>>
>>15462022
It can't have 90hp due to kei car regulations
>>
>>15462006

I expect my sports cars to actually go fast, not to get outran by a smart car.
>>
>>15462031
It's not allowed to be any faster because of kei car regulations. Kei cars can only have 63hp
>>
>>15462028
There is no such things in europe or NA
They can change the engine if they export it
>>
>>15461864
Give it a hybrid engine and it'll beat the prius.

It could have a red button to unleash all the power with track use only written on it
>>
>>15461864
I have a Nissan Micra that's 11years old, 200kg heavier and the same power, and it's no problem going 110km/h on the highway.
The reason why I want the S660 is because it's very small, light, built like a true sportscar and because of that actually will be fun to drive around in town. Speed is nothing, feel is everything, so stop benchracing and try something small and light.
>>
>>15462515
That's because it's geared for the highway. The S660 is a kei car, legally incapable of using highways as far as I know.

Now, an unlimited version with the supposed 100HP and a taller gear set would be great here.

You see where I'm going with this...
>>
>>15462603
Do you think the S660 will do like 7krpm at the same speed?
>>
>>15462610
Well the top speed is 87 MPH and the redline is 7700RPM so at 60 it's probably not far off.

>Top speed does not work like that.
Top speed doesn't work like what? You didn't mention anything about top speed. I assumed the S660 had a close ratio gear set since it's a sporty city car, but that is interestingly not the case.

The new Scirocco. I saw a bunch of these when I was on vacation in England. Sleek and sexy. The best looking hatch ever IMO. I'd really like to see them bring them to the US but hatchbacks are still not very popular and they've already got the Golf here.

It's almost certainly electronically limited to 87mph (a bit odd as it's 40kph over there highway speed limit).

It also makes the 63hp over almost half of the rev range, suggesting there is reasonable room for improvement with a different map.
