well, sometimes europeans are amused about the american engineering because the opinion "same shit for 50 years" is spread wide.
europeans focus on economy perfection combined with outstanding design. outstanding isn't always meant as "neat" but as "different" -
in our eyes, all american cars are the same -
there are these long bulgy sedans and oversized useless trucks -
no way you could show up with this shapeless ship. V8 SOHC? cmon
european design, focus on distinguishability (what a word) 2.2l HDI - contra innovation: lots of unexpected problems possible, not customer friendliest
EU design ownz US design
just look at this 70s citroen cx!

Japanese/asian designs are always kinda agressive and pretend to be sporty imho
small engines, mostly high revving but sometimes very reliable.
choice over european cars when it comes to pricing.
But Asia also produces the smallest, ugliest cars. I heard their roads are a lot slimmer which excuses such things:
stereotype -
american cars are large, dull assembled, I-dont-care-I-need-4x-more-gas ships
european cars are mid-sized, economic, modern, I-would-fit-in-a-modern-art-museum clockworks with teething troubles
asian cars are small, ordinary reliable/designed, I'm-cheaper-not-better rev-devils
