Ok the EU is a major player but damn...a whole continent to equal the US...wow. GM will be just fine. Look for a rebound very shortly. I for one am about to buy some of their stock. As for this comment I am not sure how to take it since I am "colored". Please explain.

The EU is not a continent.
The EU is a union of states. Not all countries in Europe are part of it.

I guess that will take its time.
Until now they are still considerably behind Germany let alone the EU or the US
But its true. the chinese consumer market is growing fast and eventually they will overtake the US at some point.

You know, whites are the most beautiful of 3 major races and live in beautiful houses. You better consider your position, man. Even I can respect a more beautiful man with a higher academic background than me. Of all whites I think the Anglosaxons who founded the US are greatest but look down on the Slavs who have lower living standards than us.

another marvellous prototype: the ALFA DIVA
there is a good possibility of a series production for this car, while the "8C competizione" will be produced in 500 copies (spider & coupè)

That might have been true in the recent past, but you gotta admit that American car makers have made major improvements on styling in the past few years. I mean, just look at Pontiac Solstice, Chrysler 300C, Saturn Sky--just to name a few! What I think U.S. car makers could improve, however, is over-all reliability and build quality..

Also, two of some of my most favorite cars in the world happen to be American:





Mmmwwaaaaa.....

I'm pretty sure if God came to Earth, he would be driving this baby:



(For those who don't know, it's a Saleen S7. And it's... *gasp!* ...American!)

Indeed, Chrysler definitely improved the styling on their cars, I must admit I quite like Chrysler cars, but then again, it's Daimler-Chrysler, therefore there's an european influence!
