There's one in Poland. THERE IS NO WAY to tell it from the original, until you pop the hoof of course. It features all body mods from the Evo, complete interior, wheels, brakes, ride height matches perfectly. And it's a 1300cc.

Ok, makes more sense now :) Something regarding the turbo isn't it? And California is one of the states with the strictest regulations?

#6, Our country has an antiquated restrictions system on how to sell cars in America... it was developed to try to help keep our domestic automakers protected from a surge of imported vehicles... so we require different standards for headlights, windshields, emissions, safety, etc... so that if a foreign nameplate wants to sell their cars here, they have to heavily modify them from their home market to sell them here.
For high-performance vehicles like the Evo and WRX, the companies just said, "Well fuck it."... until recently.
The same goes for specially importing a foreign-market vehicle into America.. it's almost impossible to do that and have the car be street legal (some cars are imported simply as track cars / race cars, but can't be driven on the street.)
I say, our domestic automakers have been protected enough, just require what passes muster for EuroNCAP safety and emissions standards, and open up the floodgates so we can get some great cars here!

It's the real thing - it was tested in Compact Sport or whatever that magazine is called about a year back.

i've always wondered, what keeps us from registerring cars in states (such as Ohio) that have no inspection laws? i'm sure it goes deeper than that, right?

#15, haha. I agree there. I do think that the CAFE standards have to do with it, somewhat. I also think that if we were allowed to import cars here, just think of how many dumbasses would beg thier parents to buy them a Skyline or other hot JDM car and kill themselves in a wreck. Also.. if someone stole one of those cars, and police tried to chase them, they wouldn't be able to keep up.

Good god I'd be in heaven if I were Canadian - Cosmos, AZ-1s, R32s, Spec C Imprezas, Toyota Crown V12s, S-Cargos with 'Busa swaps, round bacon and free clown college... the list goes on.
