This is a tough dilemma for me, also.

I'd *really* like an EsCos street car, but I'm on the wrong side of the pond and our wonderful government doesn't really like allowing them into the country (via the 'normal' channels) but we *can* get the Evo MR (best friend has one, love it) and a few other trick Japanese cars (no Skyline as yet though)

So.....

Do I try and jump through all the government hoops so I can have an EsCos which is basically 12 year old technology at this point (primitive ecu's and diffs) with lots of parts support (but from Europe) or do I go with something modern like an Evo MR with parts as close as the local Mitsu dealer ???

If I got an EsCos, it would probably be from Germany since I want a LHD version (won't consider RHD, unless its for parts) or some other LHD country for somewhere around $25k (usd) or plunk down $35k+ for the Evo and have all the new electronic gadgets ???

Tough call.....
