The fact the these American cars have improved so much is the reason I believe they are at the forefront now - its a push to boost American car sales.The problem is they have improved, but they are still unable to build a German car - they can't - the cost of materials and labor would increase the price such that the average American couldn't afford it. Its all bang for the buck.

I just bought a R & T with the poll for the best car of 2005. Not a single BMW among the choices, but a Buick Lacrosse and a Ford Five Hundred!!!!!!!!
I don't know what a Buick Lacrosse is but isn't the new Ford Five Hundred a European Mondeo? I have driven those in the UK and they aren't too bad. Don't know if I would ever buy one but it seemd alright at least as rental cars go.

Ok everyone knows that I drive is too complex for the average gearhead magazine writer to understand. They do comparison tests where drivers hop from one car to another even the "long term" tests involve multiple drivers for slightly longer periods of time. How many people know everything there is to know about their wife after they slept with her on the first date?
