I agree with my fellow Belgians (Mendocino & draak666).

Something more I would like to add: I don't really like American car's in general and that's mostly because of the styling. There certainly are nice American car's like the Mustang and others but not so many as in europe and regular cars are also less attractive then most European cars. That's a matter of taste so it depends up to you.

The situation with the engines is allready explained by Mendocino. Taxes & fuel are much more expsensive in europe so engines are smaller. In general European engines are more sofisticated & complex. Look at one of the prime examples, the Corvette, has a magnificent engine with loads of torque but it isn't more powerfull then an M3 and about as fast. The M3 on the other hand has a 3.2 engine. I've read articles about both and both were praised by the same Belgian magazine but they also said you allmost have to be crazy or very richt to pay the gas & taxes for the corvette.
