American cars in the UK?British cars in the US?etc.Thoughts?
First off, this is not a flame thread. Just wondering what everybody's general opinion is.
I mean, as most of our American members know, shows like Top Gear and 5th Gear (or even worse, the German shows) don't exactly flatter American cars. Thoughts? Reactions? How do you guys (American members) feel about British or French cars? How would you react if you saw one on the road? Positively? Negatively? Share your thoughts please.
Likewise, on this side of the pond, what would you guys think if you saw some chap driving a left-hooker on our pock-marked roads? What would you think? Lucky git? Arsehole? Some misguided sod who hasn't seen the beauty of independent rear suspension? Share share share...
Personally, I think American cars are cool. Cool in a way that German cars or Japanese cars will never be. Personal fave? I would be hard pressed to choose between an E90 M3, and a 2005 Shelby GT 500 (The "souped up" Ford Mustang GT).
I don't think American SUV's are cool though. Those are probably some of the dumbest vehicles ever produced. If I were to get an American 4x4, it would definitely be either the Ford F150 Lightning, or the SRT-10 Dodge RAM.
Coolest American sports car ever? The "Eleanor" Shelby Cobra for sure. If Ford releases the successor to that (their proposed supercar after the current Ford GT stops production), then maybe that'll rank as number 2.
