Even then, Europe and Japan always got the good versions of the cars anyway even if they did come here.

THat's the way I pronounce it. koohpay. lol. I love the way it sounds. I also call sedans saloons, even though I'm in the US.Inodoro Pereyra wrote:It's actually the RIGHT way to pronounce it. Coupé ("coop-eh") means "cut" in French (as in a car with the rear doors "cut" off, while "coop", as far as I know, is the place where chicken play...edger0587 wrote:It's just the way the British pronounce coupé.

For this one... wtf is a "Coop-eh"?
I can't stand when Mazda is pronounced MAAAAZDA either...
The Squashed Sardine comment fits well though, for what it's worth.

Fiat is making its way into Canada this year. We only get the 500 though, which is unfortunately ugly, although refined...
Any the reason the US doesn't want the european cars, is that their massive shitty a-- car companies, dodge, ford, GM, will flop faster than you can say "I want an import"

Now that I think about it, Fiat is the only italian car manufacturer to be allowed back into the states (other than the exotic car companies of course) since Alfa Romeo in the 90sRyan wrote:Fiat is making its way into Canada this year.

Re: Video: Jeremy clarkson from Top Gear liked the MX3!!!
I'm not sure. In the '80s, they got the Renault 18 here. I wasn't here at the time, but my theory is that the combination of a fuel injected engine specifically designed for this market (the "normal" 18 was carbureted), and the addition of an automatic transmission, were enough, for a car that wasn't that good to begin with, to turn it into a piece of crap. That was, AFAIK, the last Renault entry into the US market. Too bad, because cars like the "Fuego", "Megane", "Clio" and "Laguna" would've made a hell of a splash here.edger0587 wrote:What is it with the US banning all of these french car manufacturers (except for smart, which is a French subdivision of Mercedes)Inodoro Pereyra wrote:I'm not a fan of Citroen, but I always wanted a Clio V6 Sport.edger0587 wrote:

Yeah, that also wouldn't surprise me. Most American cars wouldn't stand a chance against French or Italian cars. The quality difference is just staggering.Ryan wrote: Any the reason the US doesn't want the european cars, is that their massive shitty a-- car companies, dodge, ford, GM, will flop faster than you can say "I want an import"

Re: Video: Jeremy clarkson from Top Gear liked the MX3!!!
Well, I don't know what you've seen. Fiat, Renault and Peugeot have been in my country for more than 40 years. Quality wise, Renault and Peugeot can kick Fiat's a$$ anytime. The only (fairly) economic car that can compete with them is Alfa Romeo, and their cheapest cars are normally about the same price as Renault and Peugeot's mid to high range modelsSteeleMX3 wrote:lol well I'd agree with most Italian cars, haven't seen too much greatness from the frogs though.Inodoro Pereyra wrote:Yeah, that also wouldn't surprise me.

No no no. you got it all wrong. He says it's his kind of car, for the men who love women.
