Please take my money. If only there was a way to import it legally to Thailand. I really miss my Mustang.

I like the Mustang and I saw the making of the 2016 Mustang Documentary but I actually like the model before this one. I own a 2015 Dodge Challenger SXT plus without a Hemi and I love my car. I don't know why but my State Farm Agent said that the Mustang,even the V6 Model similar to my Challenger has higher insurance on it since more people have claims. I like the Mustang but the Camaro body styles since 2009 does not really look like the old one while only the 2016 Mustang seems to move away from the Retro look. I like all makes of American cars. I own a 1966 Mustang GT.

Then it would be a Challenger. Back int he 60s/70s, it was a constant battle between the Charger and Challenger. Challenger was the small 2dr E-body chassis. Light, big motor, true pony car. The Charger was based off the Coronet more so than the Chally, a mid-size family car with the Coronet chassis (B-body), and a big motor.
Now, the Charger still retains the family car idea, just with two more doors. I don't know why people are so obsessed with he two- or four-door issue. Having a 392ci motor in a four door is badass. The only cars in its class (I'm talking American four doors with available V8's) are the Chevy SS/old Pontiac G8 and the CTS-V. Go-fast grocery getters, I like to call them.
If only the Charger/Challenger would be on a different platform. The LX platform is getting old... and Mopars simply can't keep up with the Mustang GT, Camaro SS these days because of the stupid high curb weight.

I forgot: Having two cars, that are the exact same in every way except for looks is bad. Intra-brand competition. Chargers and Challengers are alike in drivetrain, platform, interiors, amenities. Everything except looks.

What is illegal about this car in Thailand? It has been crash tested. What rules make this a no-go there?

LTC (Join to see) It's not that it is illegal here, it's one of cost. There is a 210% import tax on vehicles not produced in Thailand. So it would be very expensive to bring it in. They drive on the left side of the road here. In order to register it, I would have to move the steering wheel to the other side. An expensive and custom job. Finally, spare parts would have to be imported from the United States. They would also incur that 210% import tax.
