Hey Im not saying that all American cars handle like boats, but in general the emphasis usually seems to be placed on flat-out muscle. I'm a guy who generally prefers small great-handling cars though, so I'll gladly sacrifice some horsepower for corner-fun. For me, the domestic choices are pretty few and far between....whereas almost every European company has many models with above-average handling.
And yes, Top Gear is one of my favorite shows. Great stuff! I haven't watched that episode, so I will have to take a look when I get home for sure.
