What you are saying makes little sense. Many Europeans drive Japanese cars and the feel of them is designed to be European. Many Japanese cars are made in Europe and many are made in the USA (Honda Accord). Many 'American' cars are made of Japanese components (Ford Probe, Geo Prizm, some Ford Escorts). The only thing I agree with is that American cars made for the American market have a different feel - but that is mainly a mushy suspension. |
