What Should I Buy? - The Gray Market Collector’s Guide to Cars & Coffee Glory!
Our panel of automotive enthusiasts gathers for another What Should I Buy? debate, focusing on finding the perfect gray market car for a first-time collector. The discussion covers a variety of cars that were never officially sold in the United States but are now available to import, courtesy of the 25-year import rule. The panel examines unique options from turbocharged rally monsters to high-revving Asian exotics, exploring cars from Japan, Europe, and Australia. They discuss the challenges and potential rewards of importing cars like the Toyota Chaser, Alfa Romeo Brera, Renault Clio V6, Venturi models, TVRs, and more. The episode also touches on the intricacies of the import process, including registration, insurance, and parts availability. The panel concludes with personal picks for gray market cars and a bit of friendly banter about the best "understeery" car they've driven.
