I just sold my 1991 VW GTI very fun car. I currently have a 2004 Ford Svt Focus and soon I will be buying a F-250 powerstroke turbo diesel. I love german engineering, but also am a Huge American car guy. I used to have a 2004 Svt cobra that I sold as well..me and my fiancé are getting married in the near future and looking for a house so I need the money.

American cars. I like to be comfortable when I drive, and not feel like I'm in a cheap cardboard cut out box.

A Cheese Danish · 04-08-2009, 08:45 PM

American trucks, and some american cars, but I do enjoy some good ol' german engineering

I watched a show about it. The main reason is the autobahn is there, which gives them a place for high-speed test when they are designing them.

UrbKlr · 04-09-2009, 11:07 AM

I prefer mainly American cars, not much for european. I got an 88 z24 for free, which I'm fixing up for my first car

I thought the autobahn was there so that hitler could move his troops around quickly and of course german drag racing.

Have you ever seen some of the german testing grounds. They are huge and so is their racing circuits like nurburgring etc.

CyberDruid · 04-09-2009, 06:26 PM

Buell.

That's really all I have to say

3991v · 04-09-2009, 06:53 PM

American cars for life!

RevengE · 04-09-2009, 07:40 PM

The autobahn was built by Adolf Hitler. it was to move troops from one part of the country to the other Fast.

CyberDruid · 04-09-2009, 07:47 PM

So was the EIsenhower Expressway here in the states...and it was designed by the same German...go figure. Buell sounds German don't it?

JC316 · 04-09-2009, 09:41 PM

Hmm, they are both good for thier own reasons.

American Pros:
Easy and cheap to fix
Cheap purchase price
Auto transmission performance

American Cons:
Don't drive and handle as well
Can have cheaply made interiors
Usually suck gas mileage
Overall build quality suffers.

Euro Pros:
Run forever even when abused
usually great gas milage
usually great interior and build quality
outstanding handling

Euro cons:
Expensive/pain in the ASS to fix.
Auto transmission performance sucks
Expensive purchase price.

LittleLizard · 04-10-2009, 01:07 AM

i like americans, specialy mustangs

SK-1 · 04-12-2009, 05:21 AM

German the best rounded. American muscle for thrust and sound, Italian for looks and everything else.

Honda, from the great American state of Japan!

SK-1 · 04-14-2009, 08:13 PM

I hate to admit, but as an American, I hate HD's.

Every time I ride one, new or old, I get the same feeling. I even owned a Harley for 5 months, then traded for a ZX9 Ninja. They (HD'd) do hold the resale "value" though.

Kawasaki, Honda and others are light years ahead of American motorcycles.

I have a 99 Aurora (few bolt on's) that can actually pull on most stock HD's.

DrPepper · 04-14-2009, 09:46 PM

I like honda's as opposed to the only other car I've drove was a mazda2. Then again comparing my dads car to my driving instructors is day and night lol.

Wile E · 04-14-2009, 11:44 PM

I like Japanese compacts, and American muscle. No automatic cars need apply, ever.
