Do you guys have a law about importing cars from over seas?

There are two cars that I just lust over and obviously I can't import them here in US, but I remember reading somewhere that I can import a car once its from Canada.

Here are the two cars I just love.

Vauxhall VXR8 from UK

or

Holden Commodore SS from Australia

I know its a G8. I want the RHD version.

Not going to happen. I too wish it would be possible but it is completely illegal. Thats not to say that with the right connection & money anything is possible. It is a federal DOT crime to have a car here that does not meet DOT requirements. I looked into this a few years ago. It is very complicated.

they are extremely hard to find (the GXP models) and if you find the right one, they are too over priced.

There's no such thing as a G8 GXP.

Base model G8 with the V6.

G8 GT comes with the juicy V8.

That is all.
