i remember when i called the RI's in my area some of them asked ( new nothing bout cars) if this car was already sold in the country. when i said no, they said no to importing one. so if theres already a form of the evo in the country, would it make any difference when looking to import, lets say a VI......?

 

Now (almost) that Mitsubishi sells an Evo in the US, it would be much easier to import a LHD Evo of the same model year. However, the availability of a US Evo will not improve the chances of successfully importing an Evo I-VII for street use, since they are not "substantially similar" to the upcoming US Evo.
