They're illegal to own there. I can't remember if it's a bumper crash rating or emissions, but the only way to have an Evo up there is if it's registered in the US.

As for you searching, this has been discussed many times, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue, so your searching ability leaves much to be desired...

^ yeah, that's it.

it's due to a rolling crash standard that the insurance companies do. at a certain speed there is too much damage incurred due to the fmic costing so much to replace, so they put it on the black list. for whatever reason, the us insurance companies don't do this test to the same standards.
oh well, our loss until the put in proper bars at the front.
