cars not available in USA

I've always wanted to find this out but couldn't find it on the web anywhere so i figured you guys could help me out. I wanna make a list of all the cars that we don't get here in america. here's what i can think of off the top of my head.

1. Nissan Skyline
2. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (up until the 8)
3. Mitsubishi FTO
4. Nissan Silvia
5. Toyota Altezza

I know there are more but my brain is fried right now so i was hoping you all could help me add to the list

by the way i realize that cars like the altezza are in america and their just named differently but i still consider it a car we can't get

I assume you mean cars we don't get from Japan. If so:

1. Toyota Soarer (since you said the Altezza was ok)
2. Toyota Aristo
3. Toyota Vitz!!!!! lol
4. Nissan Pulsar GTi-R

uh... i can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

We actually get all these:

Toyota Altezza = Lexus IS300
Toyota Aristo = Lexus GS300/430
Toyota Soarer = Lexus SC 300/400 and SC430 (Convertible Hardtop)
Toyota Celsior = Lexus LS430
Toyota Harrier = Lexus RX330
Nissan Skyline = Infiniti G35 ( the newest one )
Nissan Silvia = Related to 240SX ( I Think, this one Im not sure, the rest I am positive)

Some other:
Toyota Higlander = Toyota Kluger V ( can you believe this name WTF) in Japan
Lexus ES350 ( in the US) = Toyota Windom in Japan
Early 90's Lexus ES250 = Toyota Vista in Japan
Pontiac Vibe = Toyota Voltz in Japan

I like the Vauxhall VX 220 turbo (0-60 in 4.7 secs), we need that car here.

Wait, I had to edit this, I just found the VXR220, 0-60 in 4.2 secs
