 What is up you guys? Welcome back to another one. If you're new to this channel, I am Goldpony. This is Stengasaurus. I do new car reviews on YouTube and now and then some other random stuff. So today I'm going to switch it up. We're going to do the top 10 cars I wish would come to the US. There are plenty of cars that are around the world that we do not get here in America, whether it be for US safety regulations or just not enough demand or whatever the case. In this video, I'm going to give you my top 10 cars that I think should be here in the US. And I think you might agree with me for most of these. So what do you say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it with number one on the list. So the first one on my list is going to have to be the 2020 Hyundai i30N fastback. Until I specify fastback because there is an i30N hatchback overseas, right now we don't get either of course, but I personally like the fastback better. I do own a fastback so it only makes sense of course. But in the US right now, the only end car we currently have is the Veloster. But for everybody outside the US, there of course is the i30N hatchback and the fastback as well. Fastbacked in particular interested me because it is longer and lower than the hatchback. So what makes for a little better looks in my opinion, powering that beast is a two liter turbocharged inline four cylinder putting out 271 horsepower, 260 pound feet of torque, quite a bit for the size of the car there. Sent to the front wheels through a six speed manual transmission only giving you a zero to 60 of approximately 6.1 seconds. And of course there's the fact that it looks absolutely amazing and it's a Hyundai. So you got the exceptional 10 year 100,000 mile power train warranty as well. All of these reasons lead me to believe that it would do just fine here in the US. So I urge you Hyundai please send us this car. Then next on my list has to be the Ford Puma and perhaps out of all the vehicles on my list, this has got to be the one I believe the most would do the best here in the US. Reason being, okay, so the Ford Puma is a crossover. It is available outside the US and you guys probably already know in America right now the SUV crossover craze is crazy. Everybody is buying those up and it looks a ton better than the current Echo Sport. It's actually 3.5 inches longer as well. It comes in an ST trim as well, little sportier version with a six speed manual. If you wanted it, that's pretty cool. It starts at roughly $22,000 even so it's priced right as well. It has a flat bottom steering wheel available, digital gauge cluster available. And again, it's a crossover. So more than likely it would sell perfectly fine here in the US. And essentially when it comes to the power plant, it's pretty similar to the Echo Sport. It offers the three cylinder as the standard engine setup. It also offers a four cylinder engine that's available if you wanted it, 123 or 153 horsepower. That's pretty standard for that size of a vehicle, honestly. Automatic transmission is available for the Puma as well. And again, overall really what it comes down to. It looks absolutely amazing for what it is, the small crossover that it is. It gives you a digital gauge cluster flap on a steering wheel and I can almost guarantee you it would outsell the Echo Sport that we currently have here in the US. Next on my list is the Honda E. And so this is kind of one where I personally want to see it in the US. I don't think it's ever going to come here. And you guys will probably see why as I continue here. But the Honda E is a new electric car by Honda. Gives you 137 miles of range. It's a rear wheel drive platform, 50-50 weight distribution and a very low center of gravity. So therefore, you can imagine it would be an absolute blast to drive and within an electric car. That instant torque is going to be there as well. So this should be an ultimate city car really. And it gets even better though on the inside. It has a lounge-like interior. If you look at the dash with all of its screens, it's absolutely awesome. I've never seen that many screens I don't think in a car before. It's priced at around 34,000 US dollars. So that's why I'm saying it's probably a bit overpriced if they were to bring it here to the US. I think everyone can agree with me on there. Although tax incentives would bring that price down a little bit since it's an electric vehicle, but still a bit overpriced for actually what it is. When you go buy a standard Tesla Model 3, it really gets a little bit more than what the Honda E would offer. But nonetheless, with the 50-50 weight distribution power being set to the rear wheels and that interior, it personally makes me want to drive it. I'm sure a lot of you guys watching this video would definitely want to give that one a spin as well. Next on my list is going to be the Volkswagen T-Rock. And so at a price point starting at approximately 22,000 US dollars, it's pretty darn similar to the Ford Puma, honestly. Four-motion all-wheel drive is available. You can get it with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG. And not only that, there's a T-Rock R available overseas, which actually will send you to 60 in only 4.8 seconds. That's pretty darn cool. And again, with the crossover craze here in the US, Volkswagen should definitely consider bringing this one to the US. I have a feeling it would do absolutely amazing. Just like the Puma, you have a digital gauge display. It's available. The exterior looks once again on point. It looks kind of like the Atlas Cross Sport, just in a mini crossover way, I guess you could say. But it's definitely something, again, with the crossover craze going crazy in the US. It's something I think would definitely sell very well here. Next on my list is going to be the Peugeot 508. Starting price point of approximately $29,000. This is a four-door fastback and it looks absolutely amazing from every angle, in my opinion. Comes with approximately 181 to 224 horsepower that power is sent to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic. But here's the best part, you guys. It comes with a flat bottom and a flat top steering wheel, like a freaking race car. You've got to love it. It's a very futuristic-looking interior with digital gauges. Looks like nothing else that we have here in the US right now, which is why I think a lot of people like me wanting to look like nothing else on the road would absolutely love it, especially for the steering wheel alone. There should definitely be more flat bottom and top steering wheels here in the US. So I actually really like that one. Next on my list is going to be the Alpine A110 or the A110. This is another French manufacturer backed by Renault. The A110 is an aluminum-bodied coupe with 252 horsepower sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch, essentially a Porsche Cayman fighter, roughly $54,000 US. So again, it might be on the higher end of the price point where it should be, but 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds sold in Europe and Japan only. As far as the interior goes, it comes with a leather dynamo like a seat combination with intense bolstering. Very well bolstered seats from what I can tell. Once again, a flat bottom steering wheel, and it looks like an absolute blast to drive. So I had to put it on the list. I think everybody would agree with me. You guys want to drive this thing. I want to drive this thing. They should bring it to the US. Next on my list is the Honda S660. And so this is one I don't think they're ever going to bring it to the US, but it's still freaking cool. Let me explain. This is a car exclusive to Japan, Honda's home country, of course. It is a mid-engined roadster starting at roughly $18,600 less than a new Civic. It comes with a turbocharged three-cylinder, 63 horsepower. That's why I don't think it's ever come to the US. 77 pound-feet of torque sent to the rear wheels, you guys. There were six-speed manual or CBT with paddle shifters. Six-speed manual, of course, be the way to go here. Leather Alcantara interior with an Alcantara flap-on steering wheel, which is new for the 2020 S660 as well. So that's pretty darn cool. I think it would be a fun city car here in the US, although I probably would agree that Honda would not sell many of them here in the US. So it probably makes sense for them not to bring in here, but it still looks like an absolute blast to drive. It kind of reminds me of the Honda Beat, and it's one of those cars that some people will probably import to the US once it becomes 25 years old. That's the law, but still looks like an absolute blast to drive. Next on my list is actually a car that hasn't come out yet, but it is planned to come out very soon being the TVR Griffith. So TVR is a British sports car manufacturer, essentially. This is a front-engined rear-wheel drive sports car powered by a five-liter naturally aspirated V8. And if you're thinking exactly what I'm thinking, you're right. That naturally aspirated V8 is actually the Mustang GT engine that I have in my car. That is wonderful. But the cool part about the TVR Griffith, the exhaust is actually found in the front, not in the back of the vehicle. There is a massive rear diffuser, speed-activated rear wing, alcantara steering wheel, digital gauges, striking design both inside and out. This car looks like nothing else on the road. It looks like a TVR. If you guys are familiar with the brand, I remember racing these back on my old Gran Turismo games on PlayStation. These things were fun to drive then. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to drive here in the U.S., especially with that Mustang V8 engine that I currently haven't owned. So I can only imagine how much fun this thing would be. This next one is a fun one, you guys. Subaru Lavorg. And this is a wagon version of, essentially, if the Impreza and the WRX had a baby. So it starts at roughly $37,500 U.S. dollars. It's about $1,000 more than the Outback. Comes with two engine options, a 1.6-liter turbo or a 2-liter turbocharged Subaru boxer engine. Of course, 167 horsepower or 264 horsepower. Of course, power being sent to all four wheels through Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel-drive system. The front end looks identical to a WRX. The interior looks pretty darn similar to a WRX, including the steering wheel. The main difference here, I think, is it is a CVT only. There's no six-speed manual or any manual transmission available there. Honestly, I think it makes sense for Subaru not to bring this one to the U.S. just because I don't think it's going to outsell the Outback that's so popular here in the U.S. But if you wanted a wagon WRX, this is essentially what you're going to want to look at. This is the closest thing you're going to get to a wagon WRX, basically. And then last on my list, this is a fun one, you guys. This is called the Toyota Century, roughly $180,000 U.S. dollars. And yes, this is a real thing. There is a near $200,000 Toyota that is still being made to this day. This is Toyota's version of a Rolls-Royce, essentially. It comes with power rear curtains. Yes, you heard me right. Not sunshades, but power rear curtains. A massaging rear seat just for one side, of course. That's for the CEO. An adjustable LED reading lamp in the back. It's kind of like those adjustable reading lamps you put in your office, but it's in the back seat. And if anybody was wondering what the heck is that bird logo up front, that represents the Imperial House of Japan. It looks like a Phoenix, but it's actually a different fictional bird for your information. It is not technically a Phoenix. And essentially, this car was made for Japanese CEOs and politicians to look very stately in. So it is definitely a pretty stately looking car. And I can't imagine this thing even selling in the U.S., even as a Lexus. It is specific to the Japanese market, and that is more than likely where it is going to stay. And so, but that is about it for this one, you guys. Thank you so much for watching.
