G' day mate.....
Kind of like the term "import". For some reason in MY mind that term doesn't seem to fit for European market cars. BMW, Merdedes, Jaguar, Cobra etc. Though, these to are clearly imports or originated as "imports".
The term "Imports" strike me as "asian" cars. Japanese, Korea, etc.
"Ricer" strikes me as a term that signifies Japanese cars with neon lights, wings and fart can mufflers. It's use is tricky as it can just as easily be used in a derogatory fashion, or as simply stating a "fact". I've seen some very impressive "ricers", but far more in the category of, "WHAT were they thinking"! The "fact" that your Honda is made in the USA does not phase me in the least, it IS and shall remain a "rice car".
All though your Ford maybe made in Mexico, it IS an all american car in my book.
The problem is this: Where do the boys "down under" fit into all this? A strange lot they are........
