		<description>&quot;I know that Europeans do not require safety glass in car windshields.&quot;



Well you&#039;re wrong there... completely wrong. A swift glance at any car collision site in the EU will show the road littered with those little crunchy safety glass chunks!



But that said, I do like to drive US cars in the US where your gas is so cheap and the mpg so low. I can afford it there!



But back here in the EU, it&#039;s close on $1 per litre so efficient cars are a must.</description>

		<description>If we want the automakers to produce &quot;gas sipping&quot; cars here all we have to do is demand them with our pocket books.  While not entirely defending the so called &quot;free market&quot; it is like virtually anything else in the US.  You can control the behavior of corporations by your spending.  In other words don&#039;t look to Washington.  Look in the mirror.</description>

		<description>I think a lot of your prejudices about European cars are well out of date.  A 5 Star Euro NCAP rated car is one of the safest vehicles on the planet.  You also don&#039;t need a tiny euro box as there are many larger cars that have fantastic economy and incredible performance.  Take for example the BMW 530 diesel (top speed limited to 155 mph!) which is actually quicker than the 530 petrol, does 50 mpg is incredibly clean with a new generation engine and special filters.

I own a 1.9L Diesel Renault Scenic it has a 5 star crash rating, does 60 mpg, 0-60 mph in 9 secs and cruises happily at 125 mph on a German autobahn, easily seats 5 adults and two children, has all the electric gadgets you would ever want and is supremely reliable only needing servicing every 18,000 miles.

I simply don&#039;t understand the performance issue in the US where you can barely go over 65mph.  I&#039;ve also driven many modern American hire cars on trips to the US and I&#039;ve always been suprised at how crude the engineering is - lots of noise but not much acceleration, dreadful handling (unsafe in my opinion, especially at speed), stone age suspension and terrible mpg.

What&#039;s the point?

Time for the US to wake up and realise that you are no longer the best at everything you do.  The Europeans (shock horror!) overtook you in car design years ago - check out where all Formula 1 cars (the most scientifically advanced cars in the world - FACT) are made and designed....

(I&#039;ll give you a clue - some of the top teams are Renault, BMW and Mercedes)</description>
