America vs The World

[AEstud]

Im nuetral on the subject but we had a debat on it in class a couple weeks ago and I just want to hear some other people's agruements and opinions.

[YogsVR4]

Thats kind of a broad statement. Care to be a bit more specific?

[AEstud]

Domestic vs Import. Sorry about that, I thought that I stated but I guess not.

[F20C]

Just wondering are you writing a essay on all these stuff? This is like the 3rd thread started by you comparing cars.

[AEstud]

No, Im not writing an essay even tho I have to admit does seem like it a little bit. Im just very inquizitive about cars. Thats all.

[YogsVR4]

I think your topic is to broad. There are so many things that it would take hours responding. Why dont you try going with a smaller topic like the economic models price/reliability or insurance costs or a billion other combinations. With the blanket question you have posed, the best you'll get is a blanket statement. My favorite style of cars are imports (Ferrari). Domestics are the esiest to keep running if theres a problem.

You gotta exclude some of the imported junk b4 you get my vote, but at the same time you gotta exclude north american junk!

Imported : Lada, hyundai, daewoo.............etc

Domestic: FORD


hehehehhehhehe

are we talking about performance?
Luxury?
Fit n finish?
Warranty?
What what?
We need more to properly vote!

[AEstud]

Luxery and performance. And with performance you get more "bang for your buck" with domestic b/c there's no long distance shipping really when you consider the world. With luxery I'd have to go with imports.

easily imports(jap, european). see wot american cars have compared to the others:

LUXURY-bentley, rolls, mercedes, BMW, lexus. America has nothing to compete with the likes of these

PERFORMANCE-Any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Pagani, Aston etc. Americas best car since the awesome GT40 is the Viper and the Corvette, both of which arent too happy with cornering.

ECONOMY-The little Jap cars have this one in the bag

PRICE-This is perhaps the only place where America are stronger than Europe, although Jap cars kick Americas ass in this one

America may be the best at just about everything else (except football), but unfortunately Europe and Japan have them easily beaten at making good cars.

I hope this is your opinion.

Americans have very different tastes than the rest of the world. We Americans, in general, like stuff big, comfy, cheap, and EASY. We dont want our daily commute to require more effort than an automatic toilet. We build our roads flat and straight. Our pockets are deep and our gas is (relatively) inexpensive.

This is why we buy so many SUVs and why cars like the Taurus and Impala were created. The Toyota Camry too owes its success to our tastes; the #1 sedan that cant sell more than 1000 units a year in Europe (as opposed to 100,000+ in the USA).

So I say dont try to compare the Camaro to the Integra, because its like comparing apples to oranges.
