Citroen, I believe.
Anyway, Peugot was available in North America briefly, though they sold horribly.
Also, no real American would buy any french product.

Yes, we've been through this, just because you weren't aware of something doesn't mean it isn't true. Nissan is owned by Renault, a French automaker.
Also, as a canadian, you have little if anything to be proud of. I guess maple syrup is pretty cool...

But they are still gutless Japanese rice burners.
The only Asian car in my driveway is a Lexus LS400 and Im not very proud of saying that either. Its a nice car, but its going to get traded in for a real car, like a BMW or some thing I can be proud of, some thing that doesnt say MADE IN JAPAN on it.

i've always liked the stuff this company does, you have to kind of search through their site for a while to find all the movies though. My favorite is the tank with rims.

You taking about the Lexus being an over priced Toyota? YEP! But how many *stock* Toyotas that can top out at 155MPH and still handle like a dream?
I only have it b/c it was a deal I couldn't pass up. I will get 2x out of it for what I paid for it. Only thing that sucks about it, is the insurance payments.

| Toyota,Honda and Mitsubishi make the hottest whips. So called "American" cars usually blow chunks except for the Ford GT,most Jaguars,Chevy Vette and Pontiac GTO. Also you cant handle any car well at 155 mph.Even indy racers need to slow down to make turns and their cars are much better then any lexus. And European cars.... you mean German cars?What cars do you like from german automakers? |
For the record a Jaguar is an English car. As for handling a car at 155MPH may it be a Lexus or a Jeep at is insane your right. But I would never think of doing it around curves. I only did it in the straight aways between Flagstaff and Phoenix AZ. Made it to Phoenix in about an hour and ten min.
Im sure the car is really faster just governed at 155.As for Germans I like, I like BMW, Benz, Porsche, Audi, and ofcores the Maybach. More of a BMW / Porsche fan than any thing else. I like most American cars also, all but FORDs, with the exception of the FORD GT (not a Mustang).
I just look down on Japanese cars. Most of them are so cheaply made they dont last more than 5 / 6 years. The society we live into has a throw away attitude. Buy a cheap car, toss it away buy anther. Grated some Asian cars are nice and last. Their engines will out last any other part of the car, but the car as a whole is cheap.

As for built quality my father bought a Brand new Z06 about a year ago... he sold it 6 months later. Now he drive a new Legacy 2.5GT. He sold it because after about 5000 miles it developed so many squeaks and rattles and had parts just literally fall off that as he said "I'd rather drive a slower car and not listen to squeaks and rattles that make me question why I bought it"
Japanese cars have come a LONG way from what they were in the early 90s, The build quality on most is beginning to rival that of the VWs and Audis. The Interior of that Legacy GT is just as tight and refined, if not more so than my brother's 2000 Audi A4. Even my own Subaru WRX
, now close to 30K miles has a very "European" interior both in style and quality and hasn't developed a single squeak or rattle, not to mention runs just as good today as the day I bought it home with only 5 miles on it.
I'm a huge car nut I've owned at least two of American, European, and Japanese Cars. I can say with Certainty that unless I'm buying an SUV or Pickup I'd avoid American because the build quality just sucks, pieces don't fit right, and they rattle and squeak like it's their job, not to mention in most cases the resale value drops off the face of the earth. Their Strong point is of course their power plants and they're relativly easy to work on. European cars Are extremely solid and offer a excellent balance of power and handling, they'll stay strong and tight a good 10-15 years if you take care of them, they have fantastic resale value, but their initial cost is typically on the high end. Also when something DOES break on a European car it costs an arm and a leg to get it fixed. Also because they're so complex in comparison to the American and Japanese cars it's can be very difficult at times to make upgrades/repairs. Japanese cars are really a mixed bag. One thing is for certain though the price of a new Japanese car is directly proportional to it's quality. The further above the $20K mark for a (new) Japanese car you'll get a stronger, longer lasting, better performing vehicle, the further below that mark... well.. you get what you pay for. Repairs on Japanese cars are easily the cheapest, not to mention they're definitely the easiest to take apart and replace parts, which is part of what makes them popular to the "tuner" crowd.
This is my opinion, take it or leave it, but as I've said I've owned cars spanning all 3 of those continents and as far as all-round "bang for the buck" I'd say the Japanese cars get my money.

This is always the arguement. The M car redeems every BMW. Guess what there patsy. It doesn't. I've had the chance to drive two. Neither was as particulalry exciting as driving a 300zx. I felt like I was driving a tank, it felt very heavy. I've driven a few other BMW's 325i's and a few 6 series. Nothing about them has impressed me.
