10 Foreign Cars We Want in America

Here's all you need to know: The Audi RS6 Avant is a station wagon with an enormous Lamborghini-sourced twin-turbo V10. It has 580hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. I repeat, that's in a station wagon.

Known for its impressive vehicles in the rally lanes, Bowler has built a road car in the form of the EXR-S. It's a Land Rover-based SUV with absolutely insane specs. It's got a 550-horsepower supercharged V8 that pulls an unreal 700 lb-ft of torque. That's 7-0-0. If production of this doesn't jump over to U.S. shores, we might just have to move so we can own one.

Since its birth in 1983, the North American Ford Ranger that we know has had two refreshes. The last was way back in 1998. Can you believe that? Fourteen years since it's been fully updated. The Australian ranger pickup has a more modern look, resembling an actual relation to its big bro, the F-150.

After getting our hands on the 500 Abarth, we can't get enough of Fiat's in-house tuner. Abarth has two main lines, the 500 and the Punto. Now that we have the former, we now want the latter. The Punto Scorpio runs on a multi-air 1.4-liter turbo-four that bangs out 180 horses. It has 18-inch rims, a six-speed trasmission, and a Koni FSD suspension. We guarantee you'd have a blast in this car.

You know how a lot of people are forced to give up their dream sports cars when they have a baby and enter the family phase of life? We pray you don't need to do that, but wouldn't it be nice if you could get a nice four-door sedan without sacrificing the muscle you love? That's what the Ford Falcon GT over in Australia is. It's basically a pony car hidden under a shell with enough space for four doors. The newest Falcon GT has a 5.0-liter V8 that puts out 449 horsepower, has 420 lb-ft of torque and runs 62 mph in less than five seconds. That's the type of sedan we'd love to buy.

If you haven't noticed, most of the world's best hot hatches do not reside in America. We're not happy about that. The Renault Sport Mégane RS Trophy is a special edition, of which only 500 were produced and dispersed throughout Europe. It holds a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 265 horsepower. Coupled with its rounded, modern looks, the Mégane has become an unfortunate tease that we will never get to experience in the States.

Although it hasn't been released yet, we're going to wish we could get our hands on the upcoming Citroën DS9 when it finally hits the road. It heavily depend on cues from the Numero 9 concept , meaning it will have a much more chic look than most current Citroën models.

The newly released Opel Adam might not have the tremendous power that a lot of the other cars on this list do, but not everybody wants to be skidding around corners and jumping off the line. Named after the company's founder Adam Opel, this mini-compact is a great-looking Mini Cooper contender that has virtually unlimited paint, trim, material, and color customization options. It will come in three models: the Adam Jam, the Adam Glam, and the Adam Slam. Who does't like rhyming?

It's not a car, and it's not a truck. It's a Ute, and it's exactly what we used to love about the old El Caminos. This particular Holden Series II Redline, the top-of-the-line performance model in the series, has a 270-kilowatt (or about 360-horsepower) 6.0-liter V8 that's coupled with a 6-speed manual. Other upgrades include Brembo brakes, FE3 suspension with tuned dampers and stiffer stabiliser bars, and 19-inch rims with low-profile tires. That's all with a sizable bed in the back and sleek looks. We want one. Now.
