Can't Touch These: Our Favorite New Cars That Aren't Sold in the U.S.
We yearn for these new cars—and SUV—that our cohorts across the pond get to enjoy.
Did you look through our comprehensive reviews of the latest new cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans only to still have a gnawing feeling that no new car is quite right for you? Well, maybe one of the vehicles listed here is a perfect fit, but there's a catch: You'll have to leave the United States to enjoy it. Is an international move drastic? Absolutely. But one of these cars just might be the peanut butter to your jelly.
Alpine A110
Considered one of today's best sports cars, the Alpine A110 is a 2500-pound, mid-engine coupe with 248 to 296 horses that competes in multiple motorsports disciplines and looks awesome. Oui, please.
Honda E
This is a rear-drive electric runabout with an exterior inspired by the original Civic. What the Honda e lacks in range (we estimate less than 120 miles) it makes up for with its retrofuturist character.
Lexus LM
Move over, Maybach, because the Lexus LM hides the extravagance of an Emirates first-class suite behind a humble silhouette and a pair of sliding doors. It's a literal sleeper.
Suzuki Jimny
A reprise of the tiny-four-by-four segment is just what we need, and the Suzuki Jimny is the perfect start. Suzuki could reenter the U.S. with this affordable model and find instant success.
KTM X-Bow
Since testing a KTM X-Bow in 2009, we've been dreaming about the near-perfect handling of this Austrian-engineered lightweight with a carbon-fiber structure and a Volkswagen Golf GTI powertrain.
Renault Megane RS
Another French car? Have we lost our minds? Maybe, but this 296-hp GTI competitor shares its engine with the A110. Four-wheel steering brings tech that's not in the current hot-hatch formula.
Toyota GRMN Yaris
Sensible hot hatchbacks can be fun. But hardcore, racing-inspired hot hatches with only two doors and two Recaro buckets, such as Toyota's GRMN Yaris, are guaranteed fun.
