Grey-market cars are purchased illegally, period, unless it's been certified and put through the proper EPA conversion process. YES they can seize and crush your car if you attract enough attention. Good luck making an insurance claim in an accident without the police questioning the vehicle and likely making a call to homeland security. To quote this Jalopnik article:

"First off, I am not wrong. U R wrong.

Second: There is no legal Nissan Silvia S-15 in the United States. None. Zero. If you are currently driving a Nissan Silvia S-15 in the United States, you are an outlaw; a rebel; you're the Jesse James of four-cylinder Japanese automobiles."

It's a shame Zilvia has no policy against this grey-market bullshit.
