    Asian cars. However Im not sure about Suzuki, Daihatsu and Hyundai. Used to own a Hyundai. A tad too slow for my liking.

    I voted American. I think most European companies just produce overrated, overpriced crap. The brands like Renault, Skoda, etc arent really expensive, but theyre so tedious. Who would rather have a Skoda Yeti instead of a Raptor or Charger?...
    Sure, the quality of American cars is debatable (most times it's the interior), but American cars are just so cheap compared to European cars.
    Really too bad the EU taxes the shit out of American cars and fuel.
    Another thing is that Europe was built by a bunch of retards in the 17th century, haha! If we had normal roads, bigger cars would make more sense.

    And also: pickup trucks. I love pickup trucks, but that VW pickup or a Fiat Strada (probably the only pickups we make) are boring and aweful in every way.

    That isn't even a fair comparison, entirely different vehicles.

    And 17th century? Not even going to bother on that one

    Different vehicles for sure, but they're in the same price-range.
    The base price of a Skoda Yeti €22K, the base price for a Ford F-150 is $24K.
    Top of the line Diesel Yeti is €44K, the same as a Ford SVT Raptor...
    No, they're not the same vehicle, that's my entire point.
    European car manufactorers know they can overprice their crappy products and they know they can get away with it.

    Compare an MPV with an MPV or a pickup with a pickup. A f150 and a yeti are entirely unrelated vehicles, there is no fair comparison. I can buy a Skoda Felicia for less than I can buy an iPhone, that is just as fair a comparison.

    Oh, I'd rather take the Felicia than the yeti or the f150 to boot, don't like either of em.

    You buy euro you get what you pay for (unless its Renault, citroen, Peugeot or fiat in which case run). American vehicles have a reputation for being fuel thirsty, uncomfortable and poor handling while having interiors made of the cheapest and flimsiest plastics known to man (which is why I find it so hilarious you guys bitch about plastic cars), then once you have them shipped over here the price is inflated enough to make them entirely unaffordable anyway. Outside of america, american vehicles are basically not an option.

    Commodore - based on an Opel Rekford with an Opel Senator front end and still directly based on Opel vehicles until 2006. Holden were responsible for the design of the GM Zeta platform underpinning the 2006-onwards commodore.
    Most Holden vehicles were heavily based on Opel stuff.

    Yes But In 1852, James Alexander Holden emigrated to South Australia from Walsall, England and in 1856 established J.A. Holden & Co, a saddlery business in Adelaide. In 1885 German-born Henry Frederick Frost joined the business as a junior partner and J.A. Holden & Co became Holden & Frost Ltd. Edward Holden, James' grandson, joined the firm in 1905 with an interest in automobiles. From there, the firm evolved through various partnerships and, in 1908, Holden & Frost moved into the business of minor repairs to car upholstery. The company began to produce complete motorcycle sidecar bodies in 1913, and Edward experimented with fitting bodies to different types of carriages. After 1917, wartime trade restrictions led the company to start full-scale production of vehicle body shells. J.A. Holden founded a new company in 1919, Holden's Motor Body Builders Ltd (HMBB) specialising in car bodies and utilising a facility on King William Street in Adelaide. By 1923, HMBB were producing 12,000 units per year. During this time, HMBB was the first company to assemble bodies for Ford Australia until their Geelong, plant was completed. From 1924, HMBB became the exclusive supplier of car bodies for GM in Australia, with manufacturing taking place at the new Woodville, South Australia plant. These bodies were made to suit a number of chassis imported from manufacturers such as Chevrolet and Dodge. In 1926 General Motors (Australia) was established with assembly plants at Newstead, Queensland; Marrickville, New South Wales; City Road, Melbourne, Victoria; Birkenhead, South Australia; and Cottesloe, Western Australia utilizing bodies produced by Holden Motor Body Builders and imported complete knock down (CKD) chassis. The Great Depression led to a substantial downturn in production by Holden, from 34,000 units annually in 1930 to just 1,651 units one year later. In 1931 General Motors purchased Holden Motor Body Builders and merged it with General Motors (Australia) Pty Ltd to form General Motors-Holden's Ltd
