Yes however that isnt performance, which is how a car is measured. Lets put it this way. You have 100,000 pounds and you can buy a car, the choice is the Beatle or a DB9. If you say you would buy the beatle you must be a fool.
Well, I didn't know what you meant, Most people judge a "good" car by many different factors, most important of which would be reliability. 

But to answer you question... I'd Buy a Honda, NSX, Duh...

I guess most of the other nations were fans of Adolf Hitler, he wanted complete gun control, so his subject couldn't resist, (he wasnt much different than Saddam Hussein). Oh I am sorry that was supposed to be about WMD's actually it was about human rights. Then again America entered WWII because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, what did that have to do with the Nazi's and Europe? Ok Japan and Germany And Italy were the Axis powers. Still only Japan attacked us so why did we care if some other country was being controlled against their will? Because this is America. Afghanistan held Osama Bin Ladin. Saddam Hussein was no different than Adolph Hitler. No matter what I put here, there will be but this, but that, but its. I Invite other PATRIOTIC Americans to put their 2Bits worth in here. Just because its about time we told the world WTF.
America is cool and all you who go and bitch about something you've never been to is like sheer racism.


heres what i hear when a person talks from his computer about a country hes heard about.
"oh i hate those africans, they are all skinny and stuff"or
"god i hate the brits they drink tea like pussys" 

thats vurtually the same as "i think all americans are fat!" or "dont go droping your big mac you blimey yank"

lol. lol.

my point is that you shouldnt try to talk about something you dont fully understand and has many fans? without actually having a firsthand account of something that happened.

We are debating if America makes the best cars. Which in my opinion they dont, they make reliable cars like my Ford Focus but that doesnt make it a good car. In my opinion, its a contest between Japan and certain countries in Europe.

The point is what country makes the best cars, I was pointing out that "best" is context specific.  Who's missing the point?

The best car in the world is Volvo, perhaps v70r or s60r if you dont like wagons. It's safe and pretty clean for the nature.

And by the way. This topic was originally about how good america is. But one thing that I do not understand about America is why they got so many people living in the streets and stuff. There is alot of poor people who cant afford health care, something that we in sweden take for granted because we pay much in taxes. And we have the lowest number of children under 5 dying in the world, I think it's 3.5 of every 1000. And US has 8 of every 1000. So there is things about America that some people maybe dont realize..
I belive it's good to live in America if you are wealthy, but if your'e not, then its a different story.

You could argue till the suns comes up on this one. . . .

Japenese cars or German made would be my two manufacturers who make the best autos!! American cars are great, its just they are inconsistent!! I drive a Ford Mustang, and I love it, no probs *knocks wood* at all thus far!!

Please , let me ask you about serfdom and your history. This sounds pretty close to a slave to me.

A serf could not leave the land without the landlords permission, nor could he marry off his daughters unless the lord allowed it. Perhaps worst of all, serfs could not petition the courts for relief from abuse they might receive from their lord. Serfs had to give a large chunk of their crop to the overlord, contribute free labor and pay fees for a long list of items.
But by the same token, they weren't property.  Their lords had a responsibility to protect them from harm, and provide them with necessities they could not obtain doing their duties (for example, in Russia the lords were responsible for supplying firewood).

I'm not saying that his statements were accurate in spirit, but your comparison is foolish.
In America that was different how? More slaves died after they were freed because they could not fend for themselves.

It can sit in the garage broke. You cant get it fixed because you blew your whole wad when you bought the car.

Hey red, I don't give a crap who invented the internet. I pay my bills, including my internet acess bill, and live in a free country. That gives me the right to bash US, France, Canada or any other country I feel like. If you don't like it, your are welcome to debate it. But you cannot, no matter how hard you try, keep me or anyone else from speaking their mind even if it is not to your liking.

I don't care if the US bailed this or that country, or if they send money here or there, or if they liberated this or that country. I still have te right to my opinions, and will post them whenever I want to.

What you should do is not take it personally, and defend your point by posting your replies. And know that I'll be right behind you defending America too when some dimwit uses some crappy argument for no other reason but to just to put down the US. With pleasure.

I believe BMW bought the now defunct rover car division, which owned the rights to Cooper so they could really fuck up the reputation of what was once a kickass little ride
