Your car is better than cars that are Cheaper? Wow! Now go test drive a new CTS-V and try to explain how the interior on your car is better than ANY american car. And also review the performance while your at it.

 

The CTS HAHAHA why dont you just brag about the Dodge Charger too!

Actually i like the CTS hehe

 

Calm down smart guy! I don't own any GT 500s! That wasn't me! All I have done is pick on those who post rediculous, "all German cars are better than all American CRAP" posts. Go ahead, look back through. All I'm saying is get off your high horse and quit talking sh*t about American cars because there are some good ones. Don't try to feel superior, just know your place. It's a good place, but there are better ones, yes even from horrible America.

 

damn you guys are bashing hard on these american muscle guys. dont get me wrong i love my car to death but im like that Z06 guy or w/e, i dont care where a car comes from as long as its an all around good car ill like it. the only problem is most american cars are not all around good. like the other nite i got a nasty speeding ticket and all the cop said was he was suprised he didnt kill himself trying to keep up with me around the exit ramp, its cause he was driving a crown vic and i was in my audi. (btw i took the turn at 80mph safely)

 

Charger? No way. That thing is way overwieght, gets horrible gas mileage, is not very fast, handles like a pig, and seems rather cheaply made. The CTS-V is a whole other beast. It has nothing to do with a Charger. Besides, haven't you seen The Matrix? Even the standard CTS can take a continual hail of machine gun fire without becoming disabled or blowing up. You never know when that could come in handy!

 

Right on bro! Here is an actual quote from a cop who pulled me over after watching me make a left turn:
"I watched you make that turn and I though for sure you wold lose it. If you were driving a civic, you would have been in the ditch for sure"
Me: "ummmm. uh huh."
Him: "I thought I was watching a race car, why did you do that?"
Me while pulling up my average MPG on the dash showing 26.4: "I try not to waste gas by slowing down too much"

He didn't write any tickets since as far as I know, there is no speed limit on 90 degree turns. The story of his reaction was well worth getting pulled over for.

 

Yeah I just caught that. 96a4Owner right? Well that still doesen't dismiss the fact that you are acting like the all seeing all knowing car guru.. You're not.Now then, just to give you some insight as to why I have the opinions I do here are some pretty solid facts about the U.S. car companies vs. Imports.

1. American cars don't handle as well (if you disagree we'll pit aford GT up against an R8 on a windy road)
2. American cars are nowhere near as safe. Crash tests have revealed poor results in the past and are just now beginning to improve and why???? BecauseAmerican car companies are noticing a drop in their sales and why is that???? Because people are realizing that they are crap. Plain and simple.
3. During the eighties, American car companies mademinimal improvements to their cars while theEuropeans and Japanese took advantage of thisand made vast improvements (Hondawith production line double wishbone suspension, engines that are reliable and LAST.VW Audi with stronger more powerful engines in a lighter package coupled with better interior and styling).
4. American car companies have repeatedly pulled on the American citizen's sense of patriotism to get them to buy American all the while making cars that explode on impact (Gremlin) and trucks that have the gas tank directly underneath the driver's seat with NO firewall protection whatsoever (GM)... GM was sued over this little act of negligence and LOST.
5. Did you know that Audis were beating Corvettes in races??? Yes, one of your beloved top of the line models was being OWNED by an Audi... The vette driver's raised such a stink over it that Audi was forced to carry weights to make the car heavier and limit it's boost to even the odds and STILL it was beating the corvettes.
6. American car companies have resorted to lame marketing ploys like "buy this car and we'll give you the EMPLOYEE discount" or "Buy this car and we'll give you one thousand dollars worth of gas". You don't see VW or Honda doing that and why?????? Because they make BETTER cars and people will pay the money to drive them.


I love the Eleanors and the Vettes.... I think a Pontiac Grand Prix V6 goes like stink and can beat me any day of the week and twice on Sundays, but I'll never claim that they are better than a German car or for that matter a Japanese car.

 

wow, this thread is still going

 

hahahah

 

There are some serious problems with your argument.
1)“American cars don’t handle well” This is an absurd blanket statement. If you are to make such a bold blanket statement you must define what it means to handle well and then offer some evidence to support the claim that all American cars do not meet this standard. Of course you won’t be able to do this. I think than any real sports car enthusiast would agree that the Ford GT handles well. If you are intending to compare the Ford GT with the R8, then do so, and state that you are doing so. If this is what you mean to do then back this claim up with facts (skid pad g-force, track times etc..)
2) Again, you make claims that you do not back up. Please offer some facts.
3)You make a claim about car companies in the 1980s. If you are making the claim that American car companies in general underperformed, then fine. But this does nothing to support your conclusion that “Funny thing about people who have kick *** domestic cars and think they are the $HIT is.... They ARE STILL CRAP.” In this statement you say that kick *** domestic cars are crap. The fact that you fail to define “kick ***” and “crap” I will make some assumptions and restate it for you. Even the best domestic cars (“kick ***”) are poorly made and under perform (“crap”).
4) This again does nothing to support your conclusion. The fact that SOME domestic cars are unsafe means that ALL of them are? This ridiculous claim is not even as ridiculous as what you are claiming which is: since some domestic cars have been shown to be unsafe, this means that the best American cars are poorly made because unsafe cars are poorly made.
5) Again, no facts to support this. Never mind the fact that you now switch to a Audi vs. Corvette racecar argument. Please keep your arguments consistent.
6) How a broad category of cars are marketed to the public does little to support your conclusion that the best domestic cars are crap. How a firm chooses to market its product speaks more to the target buyer than to the product itself.
