this is something ive always debated with myself,ive had gti s and honda sirs,glanzas and am currently driving a legacy b4,but ive owned 1 mk1 golf,4 mk2 `s,two mk3`s,and audi ,and have a mk2 2 in the garage and to get a 944 and e30 eventually and the list goes on.
im half german therfor i thinkk its in my blood to love german cars andd the euro style,i think its the best for quality,origionality and pure class,thers no other look like euro its the best in the world its much higher quality than jap plastic bodys and big flashy wheels but you have to give it the japs cause when its comes to driving through town on a friday night under the club lights and past all the birds theres nothing quite like a pearl shiny jap sharp looking car.
they certainly look racier and i cant help but givr=e yhe japs credit,the reason i drive them for everyday is if i wanted 300 horsys in an every day car with air con and all the goodies in a gaerman car youd be looking at a top notch 3.0 audi or beemer or r32,30000 euro (eh no thanks) and another 2000 on road tax and then thers the mpg dont even wanna start.
you have to give the japs credit for giving us tonnes of power out of 2.0 and throwing in all the goodies like air con all elec etc for cheap,cause thats what there good at ,mass producing stuff quikly and cheap.
BUT I ALWAYS SAY TO PEOPLE,IF YOU HAD A THIRTY YEAR OLD GOLF OR MERCEDES AS AN EVERY DAY CAR IT WUDNT LOOK HALF BAD UNLESS YOU LIVE BY THE SEA AND NEVER WASHED IT) WITH A QUICK WAX AND U CAN BE SURE ITS STILL GOES AND WILL FOR ANOTHER THIRTY CAUSE ITS A HEAVY SOLID GERMAN TANK,AND INSTEAD OF PLASTIC BITS EVERYWHERE THE GERMANS PUT STEEL AND CHROMES GRILLS AND BADGES,WHERES IF YOU HAD A THIRTY YEAR OLD TOYOTA STARLET OR CAMRY(UNESS ITS BEEN IN AN AIR TIGHT TEMP CONTROLLED SHED FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS)YOU CAN BET IT LOOKS LIKE #!#!#!#! AND MOST OF THEM ARE RUSTING IN SCRAP YARDS UNFORTUNATLY,
while lads in europe re still driving round in 30 year old euro golfs and beemers etc which would pull up beside a 10 year old bodykit riddled civic or starlet and still put it to shame therefore i think ud have to agree the euro look simpily oozes quality and class far ahead of its time and with ever growing american scene as proof i think theres no beating euro style its just far superior in every way.
(anyway we all know the japs stole bmw blueprints for vanos back in the day and drove a beemer of the nurburgring onto a plane to japan,all there ideas come from german cars they just find a cheaper quicker way to mass produce it for the market,id do it myself)
