5 Cars That Aren't Made Here

If you’re looking for a great new ride to get your day started off just right, we’ve got some vehicles being sold right around the corner.

We are very patriotic, we admit it. But sometimes it is nice to get something out of this country, a little foreign-born—some believe they are of superior quality and value. A lot of ostensibly foreign vehicles are made in the U.S.A—and a lot of so-called "American" cars are constructed abroad. So this week, we are featuring a list of five cars that were developed across the pond, outside of the country we call home.

1. 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG — Used — $189,999

From Cars.com: Bred from a German company, this used vehicle, with 55 miles on it so far, has speed-sensitive power steering, aluminum space frame and several other features that are, well, probably good, but sound kind of German to us.

Available at Open Road of Bridgewater on Route 22.

2. 2014 Nissan GT-R Black Edition — New — $110,615

From Cars.com: A Japanese-based company, this vehicle has lots of power features, including a power remote driver mirror adjustment, power remote trunk release, power windows, power retractable mirrors and other features that will give you that exciting jolt of power as you bring that car back to the U.S.

Available at North Plainfield Nissan on Route 22.

3. 2013 BMW 740Li xDrive — New — $86,795

From Cars.com: Also German-bred, this vehicle has seat memory, a universal garage door opener and rain sensing wipers, because there is no reason to do extra working like noticing that it's raining or opening your own doors while concentrating on driving this vehicle.

Available at BMW of Bridgewater.

4. 2013 Lexus LS 460 — New — $78,670

From Cars.com: Also from a Japanese-based company, and owned by Toyota this time, this car has a navigation system with voice activation, a trip computer, 10 speakers, turn signal in mirrors and lots more to get you going on those long trips this summer to celebrate the time off from work and school.

Available at Lexus of Bridgewater on Route 22.

5. 2013 Infiniti JX35 — New — $57,825

From Cars.com: This Infiniti, from a Japanese company and division of Nissan, has tinted glass, a back-up camera, outside temperature gauge, heated outside mirrors and other features to provide just that little something extra.

Available at Ray Catena Infiniti of Bridgewater on Route 22.
