    It'd cost me £84.96 ($131.96) to fill my 72 liter tank in Britain. That's a good chunk of what I make a week.

    Don't forget production cost. Fancy high power stuff costs more to make.

    They're too big and a lot of them look hideous.

    How's that proving any point? Looks is just a matter of opinion.

    Not a fan of the F150 since 2011 variant when the intioror got an unwelcome change, ever since than every F150 model has had something really dumb about it.

    Oh than there the 2004 F-150 Ford Lightening mdoel, need I say more when it comes to ugly cars..

    who in their right mind went and said. "Aww yeah, that looks amazing"... one of the worlds top selling cars ever... *Lost hope in humanity since than*




    Having grown up in canada during a time period of around [born 1998] 2002-2011...

    I've always liked many cars from Japan, Euro, and America alike, but I think I speak for quite a few people when I say that most people I know would tell me/you this car list is flipping ugly.

    You see, here's the problem with European cars. They're extremely boring. Everyone is so interested in what everyone else is doing that they all just end up making exactly the same car. They all look the same and they're all silver or black, there's no interest, no art.

    A Jaguar is an Audi is a BMW is a Mercedes is a VW is a Skoda.

    I also think that the problem is VW own pretty much everyone, like GM, except worse. At least GM's divisions are separate from one another, while an Audi A3 is a Golf with a fancy badge and a Seat Cupra is a Golf with a less fancy badge and a Superb is a Jetta, which is a Golf.

    Is VW Taco Bell or something? Do they have 3 ingredients?

    And then BMW who feels they need to teach us how to count. How many lines do they have now? 7? Well, let's see. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Mhm, 7. And they're all the same. They're all overpriced, black, ugly monsters.

    Then what point is sedanlover trying to prove, posting a series of cars and simply saying "orly?"?

    You do realise that's exactly how GM did it, and probably still does, right?

    A Camaro is/was a Firebird.

    A Pontiac Grand Prix is an Impala is a Buick LaCrosse is a Monte Carlo.

    Platform sharing is a thing done by just about every company, so many cars are rebadges of other ones with different packages, it's not a European thing.

    Tesla is american right? I love that car and is a goal for me to hopefully own one someday.
    But, the biggest complaint I hear about american cars is the interior, its usually cheap or just badly done. and the inside of a car is generally where you control the car, so interior is quite important to me.

    Are you retarded? It is meant to have a very basic interior because weight reduction.
    To add something to this topic, I don't like the luxury car from America they sell here because they are so expensive to run because fuel and road taxes here. And most of them don't look nice and don't have nice interiors imo.

    And we don't like luxury cars from Europe for the reasons but the fuel if you're buying one before 1999, after that basically the same.
    2001 Cadillac STS MPG: 17 city / 27 highway KPG: 27.3588 city / 43.4523 highway
    2001 Mercedes E320 MPG: Up to 20 city / 28 highway KPG: 32.1869 city / 45.0616 highway
