I think we should agree that the Element is a perfectly good choice, so this thread can now move onto the important details, such as what you're going to airbrush up the side. Three wolf moon? Motherfuckin' DRAGONS? Red Sonja fan art?

Careful, I think US customs are wise to non US diesels being imported for conversions, may not allow it. If that side checks out, though, a front cut with everything is likely your best bet.

If you *did* really, really want a CDTi, there is a potential workaround: A foreign national can bring a vehicle in temporarily as long as they're in the country, provided it is re-exported or destroyed when they leave. So someone like me could bring an entire car in, which you then destroy/scrap, and have the engine out of. It'd still more than a little shady, but I think it's about the only way you could get what you need over the border "legally". Though... How do they know an engine's age? If the psperwork says it's out a '95 Accord, do they know any better? How is LPG availability/cost in the USA? Could that help? I mean, your fuel's so cheap, it's kind of a moot point IMO, but up to you. Would also mean not driving a small, manual transmission road car with a diesel, which really isn't very enjoyable anyway. I'll always say that the USA's fascination with wanting a manual small diesel is a grass being greener issue, they're kind of an emperor's new clothes deal. It's a pity you don't get the Skoda Yeti in the USA, that's probably ideal for you. What about an estate car/wagon? Audi A6 Allroad, for example?
