So unfair...

I wished cars like these are available in North America:

And I wished the 1st Gen Yaris was available in the U.S.
What car do you wish(ed) are/were available in your region?

There's quite a few that I could think of as well, like the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Suzuki Cappuccino, Honda Beat...

Another thing that's not fair are the facia available that are standard OEM overseas. I'm not sure if this is a bodykit, but I might have bought a KSP130 if this was available here.

Not true. The sedan is as prolific as the hatch up here largely due to it being introduced several model years before the hatch. I have a gen2 hatch, my daughter has a gen1 hatch and my niece has a gen1 sedan. Working on keeping the whole damn product line in the family.

Toyota Vitz RS G's is one off the top of my head, I love the front bumper covers on them.

I've seen that, but I don't like how it looks from that angle, and I even owned a 4th Gen Prelude, which looked similar and I thought looked good. I prefer the stock over that. But I guess to each their own...

The bumper reminds me of the old school body kits Veilside made for Supras back in the day, its so angular.

And another one...

I'm not bias towards just Japanese cars... but they seem to have more cars that I wished were available here, and/or the European cars are available here.
