My next vehicle will be European, they look better, built better, everything is better, except they cost more $. But then again, they actually make a profit every year, why would that be? Oh, because they make good cars people want to buy. I know that it has more to do with GM's terrible decisions to keep making huge stupid trucks, and having the Pontiac G5, look the EXACT same as my Cobalt, etc., and just starting to make vehicles "fuel efficient".

Here's the rub though, could you even get a decent european vehicle for the same money? 150hp out of a 2.2 isnt that terrible, if you want 100hp/liter you're going to pay for it. The only hondas ect getting that are the "R" models.
