First few things, before I start kicking your ass here:
1. Wrx and evo have never had more than 260~ hp. The evo 9 had 276hp. The 2006 mustang gt has 300, the standard shit one has 210... In a race with an evo, or wrx, it would get it's ass handed to it. why? Grip, power to the ground, and corners.
2. Spelling. I swear to god, you didn't spell any country correctly...
3. The new wrx doesn't need 420hp... it's a boxter 4pot for fuck sakes. The v8 needs 420hp to haul it's fat ass along the ground, the rexxy doesn't need anywhere near that much power to haul it's ass around, and so it does, with awd.
4. Korean cars have always been shit. Kia might start improving, now since it has the toyota's lead developer or something along those lines.
5. German cars have been, are and will be better than american cars... The quality of them is much better, they are 70% built for luxury, bar the sports luxury cars, and the 911 gt-3's... America makes cheap as chips cars, using outdated technology, which shows in their build, and ride performance.
6. People are still buying mercedes and beamers, because they are made to ride like a cloud, and have the power to get them along the road faster than your average car. They have all leather interiors, very modern technology, and other random, not needed crap.

Right, let's begin the onslaught:



Negative captain.
1. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for one thing
2. the crysler 300c is a poor mans mercedes. it may have a hemi under the hood, and a leather interior, but it still uses outdated engine technologies and doesn't compare to the german craftsmanship
3. You can buy classic jap cars, classic euro cars with brand new engines, brand new running gear, sound better, run better, handle better, etc. Example? the austin healy I think it was, the jaguar e-type, the skyline 2000gtr, etc
4. Again captain, negative. If the american cars are trying their best to look aggressive, and not sleek, they are doing it wrong... you know what sleek does for your car, yeah? less drag, more air into the engine, more aerodynamics, keeps the car on the ground, cool and helps it use less fuel.
5. You realise mini is european, right? Also, to attempt an 80's look, one would either end up with a bucket of shit, or something that has so little aerodynamics, the v8 under the hood decides to use all your fuel on the way to the shops, just 5 minutes down the road.



Lesson number 2:
1. ohv? You realise this means 'overhead valves' right? Which means the valves are over the cylinder, not on the side? Having valves on the side of the cylinder was something they stopped doing in the early 50's I think, because it was horrible for burning the fuel, because of the combustion chamber shape and size
2. ohv doesn't mean they are pushrod engines... But still, if they are pushrod engines, pushrod engines are cheaper to make, but are a lot less reliable. more moving parts = more places to go wrong... Cheaper isn't always better.
3. let me just add, no car, NO CAR today runs off purely mechanics... You want to know why? Electronic ignition, fuel injection, electric windows, all that shit needs a computer to run them.
4. You know how you're saying these cars, with examples being mustang gt500 vs a lexus lfa? The mustang would get slaughtered. the lfa went around the nurburgring in 7:14.64, the 2013 mustang gt500 was ranging from 7:45(in testing) That is a lot of time difference.
5. I'll remind you once again, the beamer, the m3 (which I'm assuming you're comparing) has both more technology behind it, be it better suspension, so it can handle around corners without body roll, and without a wheel lifting off the ground straight to comfort on the rocky roads with a flick of a switch, to a nice comfy leather interior, and gadgets to help you find your way to the finish line of the track, just in case you get lost mid way through the track.
6. Us muscle cars still handle like shit. Corvettes still run leaf springs in the rear of them for god sakes. Ride like shit, handle like shit.



Let's play the 'oh, american cars use less fuel' game, hey?
1. Are we comparing the stock shitbox mustang vs the m3 here? if so, let me throw figures at you, the m3 weighs a fuckton... it's a luxury german asshole on wheels... so of course it's going to use a little more fuel than your shitty mustang. The mustang has plastic interior, vinyl seats, a heavy as fuck engine, which guzzles fuel like a fat kid eating cake. Not saying the mustang is light, I'm saying it's probably lighter than the m3, in that it is a commercial piece of shit, compared to a luxury sports car
2. We are comparing a v10 viper with a v6 skyline gtr here? Ok, enlighten me. Oh, the gt-r is faster? Oh but what? It's less powerful? I'm sorry, what? It's faster but because it's less powerful, it's suddenly inferior? Also, the gtr is running 21mpg according to my lovely source. The viper was not defined, but being a weighty v10, I'm going to assume it's a fair bit more than that.
3. Fiesta would be rivalled by the iq, the echo and possibly some other small jap cars... dunno about euro cars



Ladies, ladies, please... Let's keep off the kid, he's underage.
1. Where can you get a car that has less power, but beats this '420hp' car for under 35k? Evo sounds about the go. they are 35k.
2. Seriously, power isn't everything. Build quality and whether or not you can get the power to the ground factor pretty highly too. I don't know if anybody makes a car that has 662hp outside of america... Such a random number of horsepower, only the americans could produce. Well, I lie, the japs do that with the skyline, but that is justified, as the car's engine is handmade, and no two engines produce the same amount of power, they also produce a fair bit more power than specified iirc
3. The vette zr1 isn't the king of the nurburgring. period The king is the radical sr8... followed by the gumpert apollo, followed by the viper acr



Time to step out of your own countries limits there sonny.
1. Honda fit beats your festiva in affordable small cars and hatchbacks, and nothing american in the upscale small car
2. your midsized car guide is quite country bias. why? What the fuck is a fusion? is it like a mondeo? I've never heard of it... so by any country other than america, it doesn't exist, and therefore, since there are more countries outside of america, it moves the accord to first. But seriously, outside of america, american cars sell quite poorly. In australia, jap, euro and australian cars dominate the market, why? Because they are cheaper, and better.
3. 8 out of the like 20 catagories were america 1st and jap or german 2nd and 3rd? the rest were jap or euro. No shit.
4. If you think big ass trucks are something to boast about, guess what? They don't sell outside of america. Nobody else in the world wants a huge ass 'truck' that's going to rape their wallet on an hourly basis.
5. Are you aware that scion is actually toyota, but sold in america, rebadged and possibly with some cheaper bits, but I'm pretty sure they are just rebadged.
The scion fr-s is both the toyota gt-86 and the subaru brz. Why toyota AND subaru? because they put their minds together and made a tribute to one of the best small sports cars ever made.
6. Because you are in usa, you get all us made cars for cheaper, and everything else is more expensive, try living in either euro, or here, in the euro areas, you'll get euro cars cheap as chips, and here, everything is even.
