Default Poll: What's your favorite car brand not sold in the United States

I don't think this one has come up in a poll before, although I could be wrong. I'm curious what you auto enthusiasts out there think. So everyone, what brand do you most wish they sold in the U.S?

Also, if you want, list the top three cars you wish they sold here from the manufacturers represented above.

I'm not familiar with most, but I just checked out the Opel site and the new Opel GT appears to be a Saturn Sky. :

My three cars:

1) 2005 Alfa Romeo GTV 3.2
2) 2004 Peugeot 206 1.6 HDi 16V GTI
3) The new Fiat 500

They're small, but they're fun.

This Pagani Zonda parked outside my hotel in Singapore definitely caught my eye.

I have owned two "real" alfas in the past and would really love a new one. They are very similar to Ducati in many ways... expensive for what they are, exclusive and very sexy.

when I think rationaly about it though, no American would want to pay 60Gs for a V6 that puts out 250bhp. They have also lost a little bit of their sporty-ness with the front wheel drive thing. I have driven a 164 and a 156 and they dont compare to my old GTV6s. Sure they are much more luxurious and they are sedans, but the torque-steer just sucks.

Every time I watch top gear and they test an alfa, they choose it soley based on emotions, kind of like why people buy ducatis.

All of that nonsense being said... I want a Brera and in my dreams an 8C
