IMHO the "show" part of the import scene is the only part that should really exist.
Now I'm not a ricer, and I don't like what a lot of people do to imports, but IMHO imports look a lot nicer than pretty much any domestics around right now. Looks is what imports do best.
As far as performance goes, imports can compete in the AutoX, but for going in a straight line they really suck. I don't even wanna think about how much it would cost me to try and get my RSX into the 13 second range, let alone any faster. But it's fairly easy to do to an older muscle-car. And once you start to get truely fast - sub 10-second - you just don't see imports at all anymore. If you wanna go fast, you need the big displacement.
