Well, imports may not have heritage in the U.S. just like our cars are not big over there. But there are many cars from all over the world that will live in history forever. ie: shelby cobra was originally AC Cobra from UK. BMW M series, Mercedes AMG, Audi S cars, and others are some of the world most potent race cars. Lets not forget Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin (owned by Ford now) etc. Many of these cars demand the respect. As far as honda civics and toyotal celicas forget it. These require heavy mods and lots of $ to do anything.
