I know there are some nice cars out there. I've seen some nice cars made by GM, Ford and Honda that are sweet as hell but they are not available to U.S. Marquet. Why? They say cause we are not ready. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

Those cars would really attract the younger category of drivers. They are too pretty. Good thing the tag prices will scare tehm away if the cars ever become domesticated.

When americans can drive better then Germans then we will get real cars, but great old america f's us over because we have the easiest system to get a license compared to Germany or japan....they manage to weed out most of the coat hanger dodgers (Thanks Joeb16 I liekd that line) with the price it takes to get a license and taxes and insurance costs. Billy bob, or Jose cant run out and get their license they have to pay mucho denero for one only after the get 1 on 1 instruction and pass the tests. We just go sit in a room with other gene pool drop outs walk in and take a test where all you have to do is have a heartbeat and see strait...well not reall see strait, but at least have the sense of vision to get the piece of plastic.

What really makes me laugh his we have national speed limits which limit how fast we can go...yet Germany does not and they still manage less deaths per year on the autobahn compared to a typical freeway in the US....which I don't attribute completely to US Stupidity but to the bad roads we have and the fact that we made our strait unlike germany...long distances and strait roads make for some hipnotic states which can acuse sleepyness and eventually accidents.

GM is bringing over the Holden Monero as a GTO. Ford could call this a Thunderbolt or Torino ???
