imports are very common here ... u can't go for a drive without seeing one.. its because they're cheap and have lots of power ... generally the young "car enthusiasts" that own commodores own them cause they really can't afford an import or they dont' know much about imports so they just like what their fathers liked and i can say with all honesty that thats a fact!. Generally in my view you don't see many enthusiasts driving commodores unless they are the nice newer ones with ls1 engines etc ... and if you compare the price of those to a nice skyline ... the skyline/supra/180etc it is still alot cheaper, also cheaper to modify which goes hand in hand with imports. So therefore money is a big issue. Eg when WRX's first came out, who owned most of them?? it was the older people probably 40-50 with a mid life crises ... now who owns all the used ones?? its the younger people Also another car which the younger people like are things like lancers, and small cars like those and they seem to like to "do" them up, ie sound system and body kits, you see lots of that around, mainly because they are also quite cheap and insurance with imports are a big problem. but if you ask us which car is the most popular to enthusiasts? well it would have to be the skyline which pretty much has the whole package for the price and remember that price is important for younger people
