No it's because people are generally too lazy too venture outside their comfort zone and would rather go to their local dealer and buy a polo or such......
Dont forget they all want to "keep up with the joneses" as well as climbing the social ladder. Plus they get Dave who knows about cars to reccomend one.... its usually VAG 'cause beemers are expensive, yanks are crap, fords are dull, and everyone has a vauxhall 'cause they're classlessv8will said:

My Sharan VR6 can show a clean pair of heels to many supposed performance cars too. And no, I wasn't made to buy it by my wife, I actually bought it in the first place for her and then reclaimed it after I bought her a newer one as I actually rather like it. (For the record, it's not my only car though.)
No it can't. It's just they weren't trying.Oh I'm not saying that it's the fastest car in the world, not by a long shot.
It is however surprisingly quick especially for what it is and it's more than capable of keeping up with theoretically faster vehicles and is very easy to get into licence losing territory.
I wasn't initially defending that though, I was merely reacting to the intimation that all MPVs are driven by henpecked spacktards.
That is all.

These with all the decals. Usually found with knuckle-draggers driving.
I think the range goes something like Animal, Warrior, Barbarian and C

Well, there's boring American cars and bloody good American cars. Just like any other country.
I think an RS4 would be a lot more fun than a Saturn.
Spot on colonial! I totally agree but I was referring to the sports car market, for example my old SL55 compared to a Corvette that I owned felt dull and although well built and very fast had no comparison to the corvette that was a fun exciting drive and it was a lot less money to purchase also, SL55 plagued with problems....Corvette not one issue entire ownership and my friend who owns it now has never had a days trouble.I think an RS4 would be a lot more fun than a Saturn.

Audi Q7 and BMW x6 drivers, please tell me why ???????
My sister has a Q7 and lives in West London so is a prime target for hate. But, they have 4 kids aged 5, 7, 9 and 11 and with all the gear they have to carry, it was either one of those, a people carrier or a pick up truck. While I don't like Q7s as a rule, I don't begrudge them buying it given those choices as they are actually the only family I know that owns a car like that can actually justify it George H said:

Absolutely I agree each to their own, but to say someone is a knob for driving an american car is no diffrent to saying your a nob for buying a new Polo that is one thing i could think of as being worse!I just can't work out the difference of driving a yank car as opposed to driving a German, French car etc but I suppose you know what you mean.
The exhaust for my fun car cost more than than my other daily snotter in total

So a 2litre diesel people carrier wouldn't have done the job as well as the four wheel drive, 3tonne SUV?

Henpecked spactards made me laugh, I guess you are forgiven Oh I'm not saying that it's the fastest car in the world, not by a long shot.

Truth is I though you were claiming that the VR6 was just the fastest thing ever built!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
