Bringing a car to Germany from the U.S.

Hello,
There is a good chance I will have an opportunity to work in Germany for a few years starting this summer. My employer pays for some relocation expenses including bringing my car into the country. The problem is that I drive a pick-up truck which I am certain would be no fun to manuver around city streets so there is no way I'm bringing that. The options I have thought of are:

1- Buy a model in the US that is nearly identical to one sold in Europe and have it moved over to Germany. The Honda Fit (sold as the Jazz there) really appeals to me as a neat car for a European adventure. I would also consider something BMW, Audi, or VW if I was convinced that they make more sense. I have it in my head that I would like to sell the car in Germany when I leave in a few years (especially if it is something as small as the Honda Fit). Can anybody tell me if there would be any problems with this? Taxes? Different emission standards? Need to convert to Metric instrumentation?

2- Last time I was there I noticed that cars are generally very expensive so based on the above thoughts I wondered if it might be an even better idea to bring a desirable/collector type car into Germany and sell it shortly after arriving for more than the car sells for in the US. In practice, here I'm basically toying with the idea of getting a Corvette and driving it for a few months over there before getting something more practical and whether the price difference between here and there would be worth the hassle. Same questions as above? Any issues?

3- Option 3 is to buy a vehicle in Germany. Aside from being able to purchase some interesting models not available in the states is there any reason this would be my best option?

This topic's been discussed before, so try searching the website a bit. Here's a bit of info:

If you've owned the car less than a year, you'll have to pay German VAT on the car when you import it. The time will be based on the title of the car. You will need to adapt the car to German standards (rear fog light, clear turn signal lights, dipped headlights, etc.). If the vehicle is not sold in Germany, you may need to have engine inspection, road worthiness inspection, and noise inspection done by the TÜV. That could also determine your road tax, which, if the engine is new in the German market could mean a higher emissions class than you expect (the officials may say, e.g. "yes, it has a catalytic converter, but we don't know how well it works - this car is not sold here by the manufacturer."). This equals lower emissions class, and higher tax for you, as well as potential resell problems (such as in cities that may ban high-emission class vehicles from their city center. Your German title may not allow you to sell the car in Germany for a couple of years, to discourage imports for resell. Lastly, you'll likely get a much cheaper price in the states which could counter the drawbacks in terms of importing and then selling later down the line. If you can, contact the TÜV, and see what they'll tell you about any potential car you want to bring over.
