I mean, look how happy we are because were getting the Opels and Holdens. Look at the Saturn brand take off with a great euro inspired lineup(although Aura is a little watered down to the Opel version)
I am not putting American designed or built cars down, we just have a little ways to go.
Right now Europe owns the market with the most vehicles, class, types, engines, features, etc....there are so many limitations in one model alone its mind boggling....here in the states we have 2-3 options or packages on average.

But even very good cars like the Lexus IS 250 are displaced in this by pretty ordinary offerings from Citroen.
