The VW winning was a no-brainer, those old Veedubs are so damn light, those GTIs were awesome cars. As for the TT, its hard to beat FI.

American Ford and European Ford is hardly the same. One of the more reliable Fords is, bada bing!, the Focus, and that is from European Ford. And that Escort Cosworth, well, I'm not sure if thats completely European, but it did compete in WRC. And as for cars to put Americans in, some Jap cars that are imported to the US actually get larger less supportive seats. Not sure if they are implying anything, but it's up to you how you look at it!

But great vid! Always fun to watch Top Gear vids! imp:

I honestly dont think that they would go into that much detail to imply that the car was made for americans. You do have a very good point if you look at it from your perspective, yet I was in london in January, and I was repeatedly insulted and ridiculed b/c of my American nationality. I find it offensive b/c i witnessed thier arrogance first hand.
