US Cars suck...





WTF. Why can't we get all these crazy cars in the US. We get the left overs and the p*$$y versions of all the cool sh*t.

It's just something different. We've had the same set of cars for the longest time. We need a change. I think if you put some 16"s on the Logo, dropped it, turbo and Nitro, it'd be PHAT!!

Something different???

it's a gti clone which EVERY company releases overseas... nissan has one too and it's actually worth wanting being turboed and what not..

If every company that made a golf clone sent it over here there'd be like 10 to choose from... beyond the ORIGINAL one.

the other one just looks like an odyssey

Go get a VW Golf or Ford Focus, that should satisfy.

Or move overseas.

Now if you posted the Euro-R Accord or a Mercedes A class or something, I'd agree with you.

But based upon the evidence you have provided, the US gets plenty of cool cars.

LOL. You all have good points. We have some pretty awesome cars. But the models offered in other contries usually have more juice and less safety features. I want more juice.

so while using that extra "juice" when you get hit , you'd rather have your car fall to peices and you fly out the windshield at 80 mph, ok whatever floats your boat.

The Logo is not too bad. I think the Stream is just atrocious. While the Logo does bear some resemblance to a GTI as nonovurbizniz said, I also agree with ShagginJet in terms of the potential that this car could have with the proper mods.

I don't mind wearing a helmet. infact i've been wanting to drive around town in a helmet, haven't had a chance yet. N e ways i'd buy sparco seats and 4 or 5 point belts as one of the mods... so.

that would be funny, then pull up to some old grandma in a cadillac and put a radio to your mouth and start screaming, she's gaining on us, pick up the pace.

Yay! More mini-mini-vans! We need more of those here in the US. That way, if you can't buy a van, you can always buy a mini-van. And if you can't afford a mini-van, you can always go a step smaller. I will fight the mini-mini-vans till the day I die!
