2021 is finally here, which means we get a bunch of cars from the year 1996 that can be legally imported to the USA. These cars were never originally sold in America, but thanks to the 25 year law we can bring em in starting now! We’ve got cars and trucks from Japan, Europe, and even Australia. This is The D-List!
Big thanks to Jamie Orr from Orchid Euro and Sean Morris from Toprank for helping us research this episode!

These cars don't dissolve (well, some of them might) they will still be around when you are older and not so broke, just like the majority of people sometimes you have to wait for stuff, gives you something to aim for.

Hey James, nice vids you done! It's funny and pretty good information shared! Just one comment about the Legnum VR4, It has indeed a twin turbo, but it doesn't actually share components from 3000 GT VR4, Legnum I believe it uses a 6A13TT 2.5 l engine with a pair of TD03 turbos, the 3000 GT VR4 uses the 6G72 3.0 l with a pair of TD04 turbos, although the Legnum platform is very efficient and delivers a good "HRSPS" and "TRKS" too!!! Be safe, and keep bringing those nice vids!

The Legnum VR4 had the 6A13TT 2.5 V6, a completely different engine family from the 3000GT

My fellow Americans who is with me on that Nissan Stagea? I've always wanted one of these. They look amazing and with that drive train I can only imagine how fast they are. I remember while living in Japan. A military patrol unit pulling up in what I thought was a Hummer. The reason I say thought is I now think it was that Toyota Mega Cruiser. Great video James and I am glad we can finally import some of these cars. (:

In Canada, there is a 15 year wait. Where I live there is no emission rules, but right hand drive are banned. I'm not sure if it's possible, but converting to left hand drive would be a great series. Likely an insane amount of work.

I've had a '98 Galant VR4 for years and it and the legnum are definitely best bang for buck on the list, though they'll probably skyrocket now ;P Expect maintenance to be expensive and parts to be hard to find, so quality is incredibly spotty as a result. Autos have the "learning" tiptronic that's actually pretty damn amazing. Also, AYC! Not enough love these cars because they're not stupid fast for the period and well because... boat.

@anester1866 2 года назад

i know im late to the party. but i was looking for comments about the legnum because he said they have the same engine as the 3000gt. but they dont. the galant vr4's all had the 6A13TT right? not the 6G72TT.
