Generalising but here goes:-

American - sofas on wheels - very poor handling - large capacity but low output - badly and cheaply built cars - but once in a thousand years they manage to design a car like the Dodge Viper.

Euro - Classy well styled - wooly handling but good grip - adequate performance and bhp - often suspect reliability (French/Italian) but once in a thousand years they get their sh1t together and design a McLaren F1.

Jap - Appliance styling - ultra reliable - peppy engines for Cubic Capacity - economical - drab styling - underwheeled and undertyred - but once in a thousand years they come up with the goods and design an FTO. :wink:

MFFTO was almost right but he should have said Ferrari F1 rather than any of the other pale imitations that have been designed.
