Our car import laws are the stupidest laws we have.

It's something like you have to wait 25 years after a car is discontinued before you can import it as a collectors item or something. Idk.

That car had outstanding steering though and a great transmission it was not a cozy car though pure performance the clutch was strong so much so that a person not used to manual transmissions would have a very hard time. But in that car I truly felt like one with the car,myself and the road. I miss driving down the hilly back roads of Rheinland-Pfalz. I drove that car many places though every western European country except the British Isles. I also drove in the Czech Reublic and Slovakia. A Slovakian cobblestone road took out the oilpan once had to pay a high price on that they knew supply and demand and for me need was high.
Sounds like a perfect car. Don't need bells and whistles...just performance.
