Back in the early 80's when I first got into the automotive business "Grey Market" cars were big. Basically you could buy a Mercedes or BMW overseas, ship it over here and make the changes needed to drive in the US, then sell it for less than you could buy a comparable car from a dealership here. Of course the government decided that would be fine as long as they got their cut, about equal to any profit generated, and all of that came to an end. That doesn't mean that the cars over seas aren't still pretty cool. Many of the autos marketed over there have equivalents in the U.S., but here are several that cannot be bought here.
