On this episode of Doug DeMuro's Cars and Bids, we delve into the thrilling world of importing cars from overseas that are not yet legal in the US. Doug kicks off the list with the Audi A1 Quattro, a pocket rocket hatchback with a surprising 250 horsepower from a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This limited-production model is a rare gem that Doug is eagerly eyeing for importation once it hits the 25-year mark. Moving on, he sets his sights on the BMW E61 M5 station wagon, a V10-powered beast that never made it to American shores, leaving enthusiasts like Doug yearning for a chance to bring one over and perhaps even swap in a manual transmission for the ultimate driving experience.
Next up, Doug expresses his admiration for the W203 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG, a sleeper wagon with a V8 engine that packs a punch. This under-the-radar model is one that Doug finds particularly appealing for its blend of power and practicality. As the countdown continues, Doug introduces the BMW M3 Touring, a high-performance wagon that was a missed opportunity for the US market. With its impressive power output and sleek design, this model is one that Doug envisions making waves once it becomes eligible for importation. Shifting gears, Doug shines a spotlight on the Mercedes SLK55 Black Series, an obscure yet potent coupe that flew under the radar in the US but is now on Doug's radar for future import projects.
In a surprising twist, Doug ventures into the realm of oddities with the Renault Avantime, a minivan coupe that defies convention and has garnered a cult following for its unique design. This quirky vehicle, along with its lesser-known sibling, the Renault Vel Satis, presents an intriguing option for import enthusiasts seeking something out of the ordinary. Rounding out the list is the Launda Tasius, a luxury sedan from the early 2000s that adds another layer of eccentricity to Doug's lineup of potential imports. With each car offering its own blend of performance, style, and charm, Doug's selection showcases the diverse and fascinating world of automotive imports that await eager enthusiasts in the years to come.
