Post cars that are outside of their normal market.

>>28596380Russians love jap SUVs, the toyota land cruiser and whatever the fuck lexus are the new mafian Benz/BMW.>>28596384Egypt bought a bunch of soviet cars back in the day, so they're not that out of place really.>>28596625Kinda, but also understandable as an import because of their novelty value.>>28596568This one is extremely out of place and difficult to explain too, don't americans get Volkswagen wagons anyway, so why import a budget volkwagen?
>>28596691>skoda superb in usaApparently the only one in the US, and it seems to be a PR stunt. A car like this would do well in New England, where wagon-like cars are still popular enough to be a common sight.

>>28596708Actually now that I think about it, I do remember someone mentioning that a single Superb was shipped over to the US for promotional purposes, given that it isn't a 25 year old car, it had to be either a VAG thing or some other big shot
Chicago, nigga!
Too big for European roads
Now THIS is too big, even for Malaysian roads.
>>28596668Shut up chud, you usually see these battle tanks in impoverished African American neighborhoods

>>28596821Doesn't mean they weren't sold anywhere else.
>>28596735It was probably imported under the "Show and Display" provision, and that's really only granted to the wealthy and well-heeled of multinationals. This is around the time when I noticed new Peugeots in Texas in the early 2000s, but those never got anywhere either.VAG probably noticed that people found it interesting because it's foreign, but did not want to have one, which changes the corporate calculus to limiting it as a PR stunt. European companies have attempted US operations but ended up being unwilling to commit to having a separate North American only lineup.USA/CAN automotive region is the biggest Galapagos market in the world.
EA Falcon in the US. Believed to be a PR car that stayed there, ended up in private hands, did some time as a mail vehicle.I've owned two of these fuckers and miss them both, wonderful shitboxes, but they're old enough to be valuable and not super common now so kinda defeats the purpose of owning them, and I've filled that hole with other RWD sedans.
Guy drove a VN around the world for charity or something a decade ago. He was doing a youtube series about it but just kinda stopped.
>>28596733It's a minivan you dummy
>>28596380I saw a Chrysler 300 driving around when visiting Japan and it was the first time that car’s design really clicked with me. Suddenly seeing it in the context of a bunch of bubbly Kei cars, I could appreciate just how blocky and stately it was. Most I see back home are Altima tier, blown out with fake Bentley grilles and shitty aftermarket wheels.
