They also don't cost $30k for a 250+ horsepower engine Americans have cheap power in their V8s. And yes with the shortage of oil - or rather the finite nature of it - in years gas prices will skyrocket everywhere as Golfgti said.Originally posted by: ndee

BMW and Audi are fast.
you can still get the Scooby dooby dooby where are you Impreza STI BABY.
Actually most of the automobile pollution comes from the proliferation of small cars. There are so many of them. Commercial vehicle add very little air pollution due to the fact there are fewer of them and diesel engines don't have the same pollutants as cars.Originally posted by: godmare

Actually, the vast majority of pollution from road vehicles comes from commercial vehicles.

ahm... you can get the Wagon, not STi but you can tune it nevertheless
I don't know if you've ever been in a vehicle in the US but by US standards those are not big cars (again I don't know about a peugot). I don't even think a lancer or impreza make the midsize category, let alone full size. And they surely aren't as big as a V8 SUV!Originally posted by: GolfGTI

U R a pure reject.
and heres some bigger cheap, fast and more effient cars than those Americans sheds
Subaru Impreza WRX STI (225bhp ish)
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII (200+ bhp)
Peugeot 306 GTI-6 (170bhp)
the 0-60 of these cars are also down in the 5-6secs region.

Hey don't appologize I don't drive a US car. But over in North America we have access to many of the same cars you do over in Europe - we just don't want them. Yes many people do drive Golfs (the VR6 though hehe), and I'm not saying the engineering is great of some of these large American cars like a lincoln or cadillac or some massive SUV, but one thing these cars are is BIG. That slow caprice classic yes could be beaten out by a golf, but it's not going to make a good taxi. In europe maybe, but when people here could instead get into a caprice why would they squeeze into a VW?Originally posted by: B00ne

Well sorry to disappoint you but American cars with V8 are not nessecarily fast or even faster than our cars (well my experience is like 10 yrs old) . When I was there, if I remember correctly those extremely ugly things that the police and taxis used to drive (crown vic. and what was the name of that Chevy that looked like a boat upside down) had a huge V8 under the hood that didnt even make 200hp and couldnt even reach 200km/hr (125mph). Now u do that with every 115hp golf class car. Another thing is the US cars are not build for our speeds, so the few ppl that actually have US cars in Germany usually have quite high repair costs cause these cars are just not build for average Autobahn speeds (90-130mph). Also most normal US sedans dont have the a suspension setup/technology that permits safe travel at those speeds (well permits maybe but u feel unsafe).
Also US cars are extremely low on resell value even lower than Korean cars

What is it with Americans and big cars???
... maybe its cos their such BAD drivers that they need the extra protection for head on collisions....
they buy a big car and a big engine to make it move
why not buy a smaller car with a smaller engine which goes faster, has moer MPG and its sexier??
Since my statement is based on scientific studies, what is your opinion based on?Originally posted by: ndee

Yeah, dream on if you really think that. How many cars are there in America? At least 2 for every family. You guys are just big polluters. Period.
Yes many people do drive Golfs (the VR6 though hehe
Bigger the better. THe sky's the fugging limit baby!How BIG do u want a car to be???
Not sure about that - can you pay less than $30k US for a car that will take on something like a mustang Mach 1? I don't think you can in Europe...and Euro cars are soooo much faster and the engines arent half as big!

Why do most americans drive around town in big V8 cars which "MOST" of them are pig ugly?
and us europeans drive smaller more efficient and environmentally friendly cars which are still relatively fast big not as ugly....
