In GRASS GIS 7.2 you can even create and import in a single line,
using the new --exec magic:

mneteler at wernstrom ~ $ grass72 -c epsg:3035 ~/grassdata/newloc3035
--exec g.region -p
Cleaning up temporary files...
Creating new GRASS GIS location/mapset...
Executing <g.region -p> ...
projection: 99 (ETRS89 / LAEA Europe)
zone:       0
datum:      etrs89
ellipsoid:  grs80
north:      1
south:      0
west:       0
east:       1
nsres:      1
ewres:      1
rows:       1
cols:       1
cells:      1
Execution of <g.region -p> finished.
Cleaning up temporary files...
mneteler at wernstrom ~ $

Pretty powerful (instead of direct GRASS commands you can also specify
a script etc.).
