Why not just import that one. Instead of a American equivilant? That would stand out a lot better than a G8. If Nissan skylines the older ones make it over here why can't those.

Cause it's a huge massive expensive pain in the *** to do that. Same reason R34's cost $60k here. If there had been a stateside equivalent to the R34 available, you can bet none of the JDM ones would have been imported.

In fact, depending on the state you live in, it may not even be legal or possible.
