Fiat 500. Seen a couple originals at a special antiques car dealership down in the OC, and seen only one new one running around locally this month.

^ Helps your post count, not that you care about such things.
What is your ball park budget? Don't mean to add to your list, but has Mazda6 been excluded for any particular reason? http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Mazda/MAZ...o/19_4038269_/

I assumed you were just curious about what's out there in general. You didn't mention anything here about why you were looking.
Also, when you said "new-to-us", I took it as you wanted to know what's new for the North American market.

I know you dont want anyones opinion but stay away from the 06 and back altimas with the 2.5 they were known for head gasket and oil burning problems.

pretty much stay away from the 02-06 altima with a 2.5 engine almost all of them burned oil had crank sensor problems throttle body problems transmission problems. the 3.5 on the other hand was a great engine as long as you use quality oil and change it on time.
