Europeans also pay almost 40 Grand USD for a base Rav 4 and if you convert the gallon and dollars they Pay 7.10 a gallon. ALso they deal with ridiculosly high taxes and a ton of speed cameras trust me, For a continent that makes such good cars it stinks that they cant drive them.

Yea, but in Germany when they go on roadtrips, they are allowed to travel at any speed.

Sure they are, but most people can only afford cars that will do Max 110. hheheh

I have lots of friends living in Germany, where they all drive tiny little 1.3 liter diesels. Not much power. I told a friend about buying a 300hp car here, and she said "Take a look at gas prices over here buddy."

I'd take a slow car and maxing it at 110 over taveling at 70mph and having the po's chasing you down for 'speeding'

True.

Funny story though. A while back I was over in Germany on a Business trip. I decided to be a cheapskate and rented a "Audi A3 or similar"... what they have me was a Ford "Fusion." Unfortunately thats not the same as a ford fusion here. Over there its a tiny ultra mini with a 1.3 liter engine (or something tiny) and very very little HP. I think under 100 on the diesel model i had.

It was actually not bad handling wise and around town, but on the autobahn I was suffering. I'd want to pass a truck moving slowly in the right lane... I'd check my mirrors, punch gas and move left. At full acceleration it would feel like I was barely creeping past the truck. No joke it took me over 60 seconds to pass a normal sized (smaller than US) truck.

Meanwhile some joker in a BMW 750 or Porche 911 would be up my tailpipe.

I HATED that car.

I've heard people comparing the 1 series to the 2002 (which is a very good comparison), but putting the writing backwards on the front of the car just like the 2002 turbo is just PERFECT

Newly designed cars always look ugly, they just take some getting used to. That "flowy" shape and design is the new look. Remember what BMWs used to look like not too long ago, with boxy and sharp angles?

[TSi+WRX]

^ Agreed.

But then again, there's always love at first sight.

Supras of your generation comes to-mind as just one example.
