Nice machine. I would still rather buy a 911 though.

No way. I stick with European here in Europe. In the future I can see more production shifting over there.

Well at least one thing is for certain. They will sell an absolute load of them in Europe because every Golf is bought and loved here. They are also quite reliable since they're not made in Mexico. I want to drive the GTI at some point.

I don't think it looks to bad to be fair but the engines are somewhat underpowered. I don't think I would buy a camry over one just because there are some many of them.

A bit of a shame really. At least they still sell the GTR. That's the only Nissan I would buy.

Doesn't look as bad as the fiat 500L thing but I have to say that it isn't exactly beautiful.

I don't see the point of this car. One can just buy the Audi A8 if they want a German limo from the VAG.

Nice car. Shame we don't get them here in Europe.

The only thing similar we have in the UK is the Vauxhall insignia but as far as I'm aware we don't have a high performance version and it looks a little different.

I have to say that modern cadillacs are quite nice machines. As with some other American cars, it is a shame that they aren't more popular here in Europe. Would love to see some more here on the roads of the UK.

Still, I love the sound a six. Also, it is much smoother than any four pot I've ever been in. Despite this, with all the emissions rubbish going on I can't blame them for doing this.

All they need to do now is range or more charging stations. If I am running low of fuel I can just pull up at a petrol station and refill. I can't really do that in a Tesla now can I?

Cutting edge? I don't really see a lot of cutting edge stuff in their lineup at this time. The only Nissan I would consider buying is the GTR.

 

How popular are French cars in the US?

 

Here in Europe they are pretty common despite looking pretty strange and different to all other cars on the market.

 

Interesting to hear about these cars in the US. Over here in the UK, they are pretty damn popular and all over the place. They are cheaper than the average Vauxhall and all German cars so that explains their popularity I guess.

 

The only time we ever see one in the US is when a random older Peugeot wanders down from Canada.  I personally like the Citroens, but I see them as I travel to Europe regularly and I believe I'm in the minority around here

 

Citroens are the nicer of the French cars in my opinion. Their ride is pretty good and they aren't that bad looking.

 

I don't really like how Audi prefers V engines in their vehicles. I personally prefer the sound of a straight six and why Audi never uses that configuration is interesting to me. I'm sure there is a reason.

Despite this the old V8 was not a very fuel efficient engine but it sure did sound good.

Far be it for Germans to admit that the Americans build a superior V8 engine.

 

The only European V8 engine that I really like would be the V8 in the E39 M5. Not a huge fan of the others to be honest.

I still don't like this whole coupe SUV thing. I don't really understand their uses or why someone would buy one. The X6 just looks horrid and I guess the Merc is a little better but not by much. I would just go buy an X5 or a ML/GL or something.

Question is....can it beat the Pontiac Aztec and the PT cruiser in ugliness? I guess that's all one's opinion.

Damn awesome. A stock F12 is terribly quick as it is and then going and tuning it....the performance of that machine is unbelievable.

To be fair it's not that surprising because all manufacturers are beginning to make electric or hybrid versions. The more money spent on R&D on electric vehicles the better.

Is is true that VW's being sold in the US are of lesser quality in Europe. In the EU, VW's are made in Europe and the more upmarket cars are made in Germany.

Wagons are pretty damn good looking machines. Not sure if I could ever own one because I do prefer the shape of a sedan a little more.

An M7 would be pretty damn awesome. The Audi S8 and Mercedes also have an extremely powerful S class. Even though the 7 series is a boat, who wouldn't want to see one with 550 hp+?
