as opposed to nice looking german interiors and exteriors.

or

some exteriors by american cars look way better than these Toyotas.

GM is generaly very poor in design, except the Cadillacs.

you were talking about american vs asian...not european.. even still, its not like all the european cars have great exteriors/interiors. some due..some dont. However there are more nice looking interior/exterior german/asian cars then american. (although the americans are improving)

Nice!! I hope they don't wait 2 years to bring it to our shores, like VW did with the "new" Golf/GTI models.

That's a fucking SEXY AS HELL looking car, RJ!

We will never get either of those Focuses, I'm told. Euro only. The closest we'll get to the Euro Focus is the Mazda3 and Volvo S40/V50.

Once again..the North American market get shafted..its something we need to get used to. The LC (Launch Control) on the E60 M5 is another example. Owners are pissed!!! I know I would be too!!!!

Posted by VERTiG0 on Mar-15-2006 18:21:

Yeah but we get the 6-spd manual here in North America in the E60 M5. Europe doesn't, just the SMG transmission. We get both.

Believe it or not, I would actually opt for the 7spd SMG. Those things are getting better day by day. Perfect double clutching / rev matching on downshifts.

Oh so would I. I fell in love with SMG-I in an '04 330i-M that I thrashed around at Downsview courtesy of BMW back in '04.

SMG M5 for the Monday to Friday deal, then an Exige for the weekend

What do y'all think of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class?

I saw one of these on the hiway yesterday and they're damn swanky. B-Turbo is awesome.

Completely outclassed. I've yet to read a good review of the B200 Turbo from any Euro car mag.
