By posting even more cars they can’t have in burgerland

This was all I could think of of the top of my head, I’m probably forgetting some.

That’s an interesting list of cars you’ve made there. I would’ve made a very different list, but I very strongly welcome diversity.

I actually own two of these. Well, my mk2 Golf isn’t lifted, it’s FWD and I haven’t seen if for 2 years, but close enough, right?

Like I mentioned in a reply to someone else: I welcome diversity. But ugh. Tastes seem to differ strongly across the pond.

The European market gets all these vehicles by the way, as there’s no 25 year import ban. I’ve seen c6 Corvettes, CTSs, Ford Raptors and Camaros. Not sure about that last one though. Hell, my German father in law daily drives a Dodge Magnum RT (in Germany).

I think the official answer for now was no. Also, side note, while I do like the navigator I think a fully loaded expedition is a better deal (when talking about the new 15s with the ecoboost) I’ve spent time in both and I think that’s where my money would go.

At first I thought you meant bürgerland and was wondering why we would be jealous of what ze Germans don’t get...

Meh, I just spent 3-weeks in Europe and lament some of the wagons we don’t get, but most of your list didn’t do it for me. Mostly old er hot hatches on there, and there are newer hot hatches we do get that are better.

A King Ranch is more or less the same thing. However I have wanted a Navigator since I was like 5 so it is the big SUV I would choose given the chance.

True. I should’ve specified I was talking about the one in the picture. The XR3i, a somewhat hotter version of the late 80s regular Escort.

Hmm... Interesting. I’ve not been on the continent yet, but I remember in Ireland that pretty much every back road was 100 kph (and that was pretty much the limit of what was safe as opposed to the number someone picked out of a hat) and the highways were 120. Fifty five is only like 90 kph.

Who am I kidding? Had I had someone reliable in the US willing to flip cars and I came across a good cheap late 80s xr3i I’d buy it.

How different is the XR3i from the US-market Escort GT? We got a 110-HP 1.9 CVH in that generation with a slightly lower suspension and 14” alloys...

Uh, no. The highway speed limit tends to be 130 km/h (81 mph) in most European countries.

While I am entirely uninterested in (almost) all of the cars above, I am still bitter that we have yet to get this in America. 4x4 diesel with a manual trans = perfect daily driver.

Also the Holden Maloo, but that’s a topic for another discussion.

The XR3i had a 105 hp 1.6 CVH as far as I know. With an optional turbo. It weighs less than the US market one though. I know little about ‘hot’ Fords of the day. I’m guessing they’re subpar, but that might be my bias as a ‘88 Peugeot 205 GTI owner. Now there’s a superb car.

I checked one of these out at the Peugeot dealership while visiting the Philippines and I have two words to describe it: Daddy likes!

They were however ridiculously expensive in the Philippines. Like over 70K usd expensive.

Nope, 130 km/h is the max on the highway, Germany has unrestricted limits in many places, Belgium is 120 km/h. So we have probably faster highway speeds than the US.

For right in front of a gas station, 55 is pretty fast. We have posted speed limits of 85 on some of the highways in my state. Usually up the “main drag” in any town is going to be 35-45.

In front of a gas station doesn’t mean it’s the main drag. It could be the only building for miles for all we know.

How is driving a Zr1 any different than driving an outlandish Lamborghini? Besides I could care less what other people think about what I drive. I drive a car for me. As for the next three the Challenger is a wonderful car for the open road. The Cadillac is a damn hammer and it handles the Ring as well. And the Raptor the truck for offroading.
