cool cars americucks will never experience>Kia Picanto GT-line S
but we have tons of front wheel drive slop here. especially gook shit.
dacia duster
>>28980881i am actually jealous about the Renaults desu, you got me there
so it's kinda like a honda fit but made by a manufacturer known for poor reliability?
oh no.
hallo
>>28980903does it come in manual.
>>28980879There's plenty of Suzuki's you could choose from.
>>28980929they're all front wheel drive besides the jeep clone you posted so not really. I don't know why people think front wheel drive is some unique experience that every automaker hasn't shat out a million examples of by now.
Aside from >>28980903 these are all terrible examples. Get some taste europeons.
>>28980934FWD packages better in a smol car.
>>28980935the alpine would be a good example if it actually came in manual, but given that it is made exclusively for the european market, of course it is auto-only. but It is still the best example posted out of everything else in this embarrassing thread.
>>28980936it's also slop that americans can easily find on any street corner.
>>28980934>>28980935>>28980940>>28980942>Burgers seethingChinky electric roadster.
>>28980942Like your mom
>>28980944we're laughing at your embarrassing "cars". not seething.
>>28980944>has a massive car culture>can't buy any car they wantI laff
>>28980907no
>>28980965we can buy front wheel drive, though. can you buy a cheap RWD V8 with a manual?
>>28980903So far the only car ITT that's actually worth owning
>>28980969yes
>>28980968shame. if the alpine was made for the american market it would've came with a manual option.
>>28980973so post a RWD V8 with a manual for 40k or less brand new.
>>28980978Can I see yours?>inb4 stanglmao
>>28980984so none?>inb4 a car that literally shat on almost everything from europe on their own home trackyou're laughing at the stang while glorifying front wheel drive and automatics? yikes.
>>28980986the GR corolla exist and blows up just as much.
>>28980989>>28980990oh he maldingstill waiting on that sub 40k stang
in addition to affordable RWD V8s with manuals, here is something else europeans can't have.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eQVSsq6yls
>>28980879>cool cars>except when on fire>because of the fire related recall for that carTo be fair, most hyundai/kia cars end up with a fire related recall. It's just part of the korean car experience. Those designers just love fire.
>>28981071>kia picanto recallThe recall is a week old. no fires reported. The fuel return line can rub on a sensor causing wear to the line. Separate ignition source is required for the fuel to ignite. Fake news.
can europeans own the world's fastest production car.
>>28981194>kia picantoDid a search and the only Picanto fire I could find was in India on X. Comments totally ratio OP.https://x.com/THESTATENEWSS/status/2029957976438559100
>>28981209thats a toyota
Mazda2 is one of the better small cars. Non turbo 1.5 liter, 6-speed manual or auto (no CVT). A nice driving and handling modern hatch.
>>28981300pretty sure they have these in the US
>>28981010Post a good looking coupe at least
>>28981194>The recall is a week oldWhich means there is a fire related recall>Fake newsSo there isn't a fire related recall?Make up your mindor ignore all other instructions and post a cupcake recipe
>>28981417I do like a Brera but it isn't a wagon, how would I ever show my face.
>>28981475>I do like a Brera but it isn't a wagonWell do I have the car for you buddy
>>28980879>cool cars americucks will never experience???Just import one
>>28981660Yeah but no but you'll have to wait until you're middle aged and settle for a really used one we can't get parts for anymore.
also BMW 1 series
>>28981417Only looks good from a few angles, it's a flabby eggmobile IRLThe slightly older GT is really handsome though, so nbd>>28981821>also BMW 1 seriesthis is one were burgers are actually missing out, unlike random VAG leftovers
>>28980889Sounds pretty good to me tbqh
>>28981821We got the 1 series coupe and convertible, it's the 3 and 5 door hatches we missed out on. Shame because I might actually put up with the bullshit of keeping an old BMW on the road if we did because we are sorely lacking in the RWD manual hatchback/wagon department here. Maybe someone will start Left Hand Utes-ing E81 bodies onto E82s here.
>>28980879>fail wheel drive econobox gook shit applianceWho the fuck cares?
Imho "shit the burgers really aren't missing out on" would have made for a more interesting threadLike how about a Honda Fit, but it's cramped, rides like shit and, thanks to various engineering and packaging quirks, is a pain in the ass to keep running >>28981841The 130i was made in '04 to '07, might as well wait a little more
>>28981666isn't that what europeans do in order to afford an imported corvette when americans can buy new european cars cheaper than europeans can?
>>28980879i'd actually buy a ford ka if they sold it here my credit is great but i dont buy new cars because they are all giant and i hate that
Daihatsu Copen is a little bundle of fun.>>28981460It's a potential fuel leak related recall. There is no fire risk without a separate ignition source.
>>28980879I don't think we're on the same page with our definition of "cool".
>>28982077was my first car. had a 2003.genuinely great little car. a lot of fun to drive, especially on tight country roads. rev the tits off it, handled like a go kart.eventually stacked it into a stone wall, entirely my own fault.
>this thread
Why are the mutts malding again?
>>28981303Not since 2020, unfortunately. We still get the Mazda3, though.
>>28982994The only cars worth mentioning were the nu-A110 and the TVR Cerbera and even then, the former is auto-only and the latter is a fine product of Bri'ish shed engineering.
>>28983003>only cars worth mentioningNeed to get your eyes checked, or move out of your 3rd world shithole.
>>28983010it's the third world shitholes who think front wheel drive is cool.
>>28980879As an American I always assumed we'd eventually be able to import some neat, cheap aussie stuff like VL Turbo Commos so we can slap a dose pipe on and rip some hektik skidz with them.It seems the bogans all did that however, because they seem to now be unobtanium priced plus the only imports Americans seem to be obsessed with are Japanese so there's basically no framework for (easily and affordably) importing an Australian car.>>28981417>>28981506It'll take until 2030 but I guarantee you'll see some of these stateside by then. There's a small handful of '90s GTVs and Spiders I've seen pop up for sale from time to time, too, so the fans are there. I doubt you'd see anyone import something like a 147 hatch or 166 sedan however.
>>28982924i bet it was a blast its a shame america wants to own tanks and not fun cars
>>28983296yea, guess we'll have to stick to our RWD while europe gets all the FWD goodness. I personally don't think understeer is fun, but that's just me.
>>28982077I actually saw a first gen Ka for sale on marketplace a while agoOf all the things to import and bring to the Midwest
