Answer 4

What sort of cars are you referring to?

There is more than just one domestic car, and one import.

Cars are imported to meet certain needs or wants.

I live in Australia, and cars are imported for many reasons.

We import Skylines, because in Aus we only get the tamed down baby version. We also import the 4 door as they werent availiable in Australia.

We import Lexus and Celsior coupes and sedans as their is a lack of affordable luxury performance sedans/coupes in Aus.

We import Delica's and Hiace Super Deluxes, as we dont have a luxury 4WD van in Australia.

Without mentioning what design or stlye you are talking to, its impossible to give you an answer.

As a generalisation, most import cars have higher power, as there are less laws governing power output in Japan, where the majority come from. Most imports have a lot more accessories and motorised things than local cars. The downside to that is dearer insurance, harder to get parts, and more things to break. A lot of the features also dont work in foreign countries, or are in other languages.

Imports usually are dearer, as they are imported by a dealer, for a specific market so they can charge what they want.
