Fiat 500. The 2008 version – oh man, so fun to drive, cheap, great for cities and awesome retro look.

I was just on vacation in the US and had for a week a Dodge Avenger, the design was not even that bad, but nothink like my E90 330d at home.

We are planning to move to the States in 2009, unfortunately most likely taking the E90 with me will be to complicated (Navigation, lights, emissions, etc…). But if someone has knowledge about importing European BMW models to the US outside of the European Delivery program I would be grateful. BMW has no reason to help as they would benefit more if I would buy another BMW in the US than transport mine there. You can reach me at: mathishaas@yahoo.de

Another car company I really like in Europe is Skoda from the Czech Republic, there especially the Octavia RS II, the Octavia Scout and the Roomster, great cars at a very affordable price. They export them to Australia http://www.skoda.com.au/ why not to the US???

@Wyspa: The 535d will probably be available next year, I think the only diesels launched in ‘08 will be the 335d and X5d. By next year, based on the diesel sales, more models will follow.

@Benny: :) True Benny, but it costs less and it might be a viable option for a lot of people.

No one who thinks of a BMW would think of a Opel for a single second ;-)

Well, the Alfa 159 looks stunning if not perfect, BUT is is way too heavy and needs way too much fuel to be a useful car. So in the end I like BMW the most ;-)
They just have the best relation between handling, performance, fuel-efficiency and design ;-)

First: BMW 535D Sport Wagon – you wrote some time ago that maybe it will be available in USA (late 2008), also 530d would do.
Second: Not big fan of French cars but citroen-c5-tourer is very German, as the commercial indicates :)

I cant understand You man. I come from Europe and people dream here about cars from US because of prices. Yeah I know that you havent many nice cars ;p , but it is not that important. For example one BMW 3 costs in US 30 000 $, in Poland the same model costs about 50-60 000 $. ‘Yours’ Fiat Punto costs the same like Ford Mustang GT……. There’s no magical cars when You see this differences…
