    I kinda find this as a pointless argument topic because they both have their own pros and cons

    Can you also add this to french cars as pros :

    Were selled for a long Time

    Peugeot and its motorsport experience

    Reliable

    Cheap


    Some of them are stock sleeper


    Most of their technologies are now usual (turbocharged engines, FWD , power steering , disc brakes)

    And these Cons:

    Luxury/supercars french cars are not that common (they are either a prototype, or badly selled)

    Extremely underrated/hated by some countries for some reason

    My family has both of them:a 2012 Peugeot 408 and a 2021 Buick LaCrosse.
    Yes,whatever you say.I have to admit that the 408 isn't a typical French car because it's not avaliable in Europe but China,South Africa,Latin America and east Europe.But let's face the fact.French cars are the same everywhere.Unlike the American cars.(GM f*cked up everything)
    With my own experience,my opinion is that the American car and French car have nothing similar and there's no necessity to compare them.The typical French car and typical American car usually won't appear in the same market(for example,you can't find any modern PSA and Renault things in America and Canada,and it's also hard to find another typical American car in Europe unless you count the newest Lancia Thema,a rebranded Chrysler 300C as a American car thought it has a Italian badge)
    Their attributes are also identical.French cars focus on fuel effencity and price while a typical American focus on space,power and doesn't care aboul how many petrol it will burn.

    fuel consumption doesnt matter, tesla is an exception and isnt representative of american cars in general, eu market doesnt matter, big and slow are both good things

    Do you want to add the number of French brands that have ever existed? I betcha it’s less than the amount of American brands that went out of business during the Great Depression.

    So :

    The Mégane 3 RS is the fastest traction car on the nurburgring

    We have lots of stock sleepers such has the Xantia activa S. It handled better than most of the supercars of it's Time .

    The french have been great on the pikes Peak lately and Alpine is planning on conquering the US market in a few years.

    We have a french supercar called the Aixam Megatrack.

    We have the 24h Lemans
