There is a lot of press about import tuning, yet it seems most articles focus on the Japanese market. VW fans might be fewer in number, but their passion is equal to that of any Civic owner's. Same goes with the Audi guys-- BMW has been in the performance game a lot longer, but modern Audis are quickly becoming a favorite alternative to the Roundel. The breakthrough RS4 (shown below) is an absolutely amazing car and the equal of any M3 or even M5.
