I am a Finn and I would never buy anything else than American. To me the other stuff seems cheap and flimsy. Regarding the cheap feeling Chrysler interiors, they are fairly decent considering that Daimler cut the interior budgets 40% while they robbed the company clean.

What is said in Europe about American cars is largely a political issue. Another thing is the psychological issue. When the lie is repeated for decades it becomes the truth. American cars are an oddity to the average consumer. And it is always a safe bet to go with the masses in your opinions. Besides, the cars are so expensive here that it is also easy to hate what you can't afford but maybe that darn neighbor can.

And don't get me started on those topgear maroons...
