What do Europeans think of American cars, specifically brands like Tesla, Lincoln, Cadillac,
>>
>>70835978
>Lincoln, Cadillac

I don't know if they will have much experience with these cars. I never saw one there, and was in Germany for a few years.
>>
would rather walk 100km than drive 100km in a yank car
>>
>>70835978
Tesla looks great but heavily relies on government grants.
American cars are rare here. European/Korean/Japenese cars are everywhere.

>>
they are shit except Tesla which is too soon to be considered proper car, and eventually gooks will make better version anyways
>>
older yank cars are nice,simple to maintain and spare parts are cheap

newer cadillacs are basically bulk GM-shit with Opel drive trains and plasticy fake wood interiors
>>
Teslas are great.
Two of our biggest car manufacturers are American but most of their models tend to be engineered here and in Germany (which then end up getting sold stateside, whereas the opposite seldom happens..) make of that what you will.
>>
>>70835978
Tesla and Ford are very popular and well-known. Tesla mostly because of our government's massive subsidies on electric cars and exorbitant gas prices. FCA and GM are not quite as popular, but you'll see them daily. The Chevy Bolt has an insane amount of preorders here... again mostly because of our subsidies on electric cars.
Cadillac is well-known, too, but not very popular. I don't think I've seen any newer models here. People who want a luxury sedan mostly go for German, Japanese or Chinese brands.
Lincoln is pretty much unheard of here.
>>
Lincoln still exists?
>>
Been in a tesla p85d, great car.

Cadillacs and Lincolns do look nice, unlike modern day BMWs and Benzes
>>
American cars are rare. Ford is the best selling manufacturer, but as >>70836339 wrote it's the European Fords that sell here. I have seen a fair few Ford Rangers on the road though and there's a house in my neighbourhood with a couple of old Corvettes in the driveway. Jeeps are also fairly common. PT Cruisers used to be fairly common. I've only ever seen one regular Cadillac, the other few I've seen were all limos.

Jeremy Clarkson generally hates American cars but he drove a Ford F-150 Velociraptor 400 miles through winter in Canada and was head over heels on love with it.
>>
>>70835978
I wish i had a F150.
>>
before 1980 american cars>>1990 american cars>shit>>modern american cars
desu
>>
>>70836198

This is isn't true.

Tesla receives EV subsidies just like any other car manufacturer. It's not government grants that keep them afloat, it's investor confidence.

amercian classics > the rest of junk

sadly big three cars lost their charm in late 1970s
also there is no "American cars" in Europe, just Ford of Europe and Chevrolet (Daewoo) shiboxes.
>>
>>70835978
While Tesla is interesting, Lincoln and Cadillac build outdated, silly looking cars without character
>>
lincoln doesn't exist in europe
cadillac might exist but its extremelly are
>>
>>70835978
>Lincoln
i dont think anyone in europe uses this

ford is pretty popular, but iirc the ford is german made and different than the american fords
>>
Never seen a tesla or a lincoln in Poland.

Had the dubious """""""pleasure""""""" of driving an Escalade.


I think even the romanian Dacias (renault on the extreme budget) use better materials for the interior.
>>
the most american thing ive seen is some mustangs and chevrolet cars
why do you make chevrolets out of plastic, its almost like touching a toy
>>
All modern cars everywhere are shit.

If you disagree you're ignorant.
>>
Lincoln is what federal agents drive.

Cadillac is what rich ceos drive。

>>
>>70840614
the f150 IS great but has no place on our roads, far too big and inefficient.
>>
>>70841844
German cars (if i have money)
Tesla (if i'm serious about global warming and have the money)
Japanese cars (if i'm on a budget)
Skoda (if i'm on a budget and want to support European industry)
>>
>>70842058
Nationality of the brand is a dumb criteria for choosing a car if you live in a country without an automotive industry.
German cars are not necessarily expensive, nor are they necessarily of high quality or fun to drive. But they are in most cases unreliable. Skodas are just rebadged VWs. And if you're really serious about global warming you shouldn't get a car at all.
>>
>>70835978
Lincoln is pretty nice I think, I've been considering getting a town car when I've done with the atrocity that is the Scandinavian driving license process.
>>
>>70842484
I'm not trying to make a good argument, it's just how i feel about cars. I mean maybe a certain volvo is a better car than a certain mercedes, but i know i would still rather own a mercedes.

>And if you're really serious about global warming you shouldn't get a car at all.
Actually you should become a mass murderer

Actually, now that you mention it... Maybe global warming is the third biggest issue.

>>70843181
Are you retarded? I mean, you'd have to be if you don't recognise global warming as an issue, despite the huge amounts of data supporting it.

>>70843193
Well, it's my subjective opinion. I mean, objectively it's a big issue. But it's not the only one we're facing.

Huge ass american cars are impractical where the streets are narrow, the parking places are small and 80% of the fuel price is tax.

How is American engine technology nowadays? Can you have one of those cars in the pic with reasonable fuel consumption?

>>70835978
Lincoln and cadillac are business-class cars here, usually considered to be used by upper class. Tesla would be like NASA of cars.

Then you need to pay taxes and the import price because it's importation. Normal that the price is bigger

no this design is nice and minimal. and good engineering too. Old ladas are also shit, but I guess they looked alright and utilitarian.

also moskvich worst thing ever. Best russian car I drive is gaz 3102 (or volga) but still not that good

I think the ideal car for russia is the mercedes W201
