Thought one of you guys might be interested in this. It's currently for sale locally. As best I and another GRM'r in another thread can figure, it's a Canadian market Echo, which is basically the same as the Japanese market Vitz. (If all this seems sketchy, it is) AFAIK, it was never federalized in the U.S., but this one currently has Michigan tags on it. (I'm guessing its registered as the horrendously ugly 2005 U.S. market Echo). So let's call this a "gray market" car.

Why don't I want this? Because I'm a giant rule-following chicken. Don't be like me. To be clear, I'm not in any way, shape or form associated with this, and it may well be a horrendous idea, but since we specialize in those around here, I thought I'd share. It's this:
