    Yep when I saw the thread I thought here comes a Slicks VS Matra again...

    Generally European cars are better, but i'd prefer a Corvette to A Skoda Fabia ey?

    Don't get me wrong, I like Skoda's, but Corvettes are...better.

    American cars are better on American roads.
    European cars are better on European roads.

    "Foreign" suppliers try to modify there platform to match the "market needs".
    For some it works for some it doesn't.

    NOW comes the personal opinion bit - it's easier to take a good handling car and make it softer than it is to go the other way. So more "Foreign" cars are accepted in the US market than US cars are outside. It's harder to make a small engine acceptable for long tedious journeys. So more "foreign" cars AREN"T accepted in the US market than US care are outside.

    As it's CARS you're asking about then it cannot be answered
    If you SPECIFY WHICH CARS then it can be !!

    European Cars are better because they aren't the size of houses and do more than 1mpg

    exactly what i was afraid of......stupid stereotypes against american cars, on a thread with no criteria.........shut it down now, this is stupid. all we will see is "european cars are too small to be safe!" and "american cars are the size of houses!". this is STUPID!!!! this thread is just going to be a magnet for bias stereotypes, unless a mod gives a criteria for this comparison! make it for sports cars or something!
