Americans have always seen cars as a utility but Europeans see cars as luxuries.
Americans have straight roads and Europeans have twisty ones.
Americans like putting big lumps in their cars with basic suspensions and Europeans like smaller lumps with complicated transmissions and suspensions.
You pay your money and you take your choice.
If I lived in the States I would buy a big yank muscle car but I live in Britain and have a turbo Jap car.
I would buy a BMW but they are overpriced.
I spoke to an American friend extolling the virtues of Nissan Skylines and how much better they are than American muscle cars.
Oops. His son's car is faster over a quarter of a mile than the fastest Skyline in Europe....bet it doesnt drift like a Skyline though...:mrgreen:
