Much as we moan about not getting the latest hot hatchback or kei car, we Americans enjoy pretty much the cheapest new car prices and some of the lowest gas prices in the world. Not every country is so new-car friendly.

Looking for an affordable sports car in India? You'd be better off with an Audi R8 than with a car…
