I have always been into American cars, and wouldn't hear anything about European/Imports being better. Well, I've been driving my Aunts BMW 3 series for the past couple of days, and i'm slowly falling in love. The car handles better than anything I have ever felt, and it has a very respectable amount of power and is very fun to drive. Along with all the luxuries, the car is probably the nicest feeling car i've ever felt. I've been thinking about my Trans Am back home and am becoming disappointed in it. The handling is not even comparable...it has more body role than it knows what to do with. Yes, it is much torquier, but considering the BMW i've been driving is a fairly base model, I can only imagine what the m3s and m5s feel like.

I decided to post this rant after hearing the new advertisement for the Buick Regal, that says something about being "German Engineered". This commerical frustrates me beyond belief....Why can't we say that the new Buick Regal is "American Engineered", and engineer something equal to what BMW or any other German manufacturer does? I've been told over and over that Germans are the best automotive engineers...What are we doing wrong!? I'm so tired of a barely having an argument against people that say American cars are crap.

Sorry for the rant, but this is really bothering me. Dont get me wrong, I am still a die-hard American car lover, but its really bothering me that i'm starting to question why I am...Comments/opinions?
