Hopefully my last effort at dishing out the Americas. This time its more of the things that I know a little about. And also some of my friends have also asked about this post for quite sometime. Lets put the crux of the matter first, american cars are horrible, simple, end of matter. Why ?
- Handling or the non-existence of it.
- Turning radius as big as the earth's.
- Huge engines with very low power.
In an attempt to make the car more comfy they isolated almost all world environments which would give a feedback to most parts of the car. The steering turns the wheels but when you are turning the steering one has no idea how much the wheels are actually turning. The suspension is too soft to communicate anything except give you an illusion that one is on a boat.
I bet they did this all in good faith. They just wanted you know to know that you can actually turn a 3 ton brute with your finger (the little finger if you are strong enough) and you can definitely go for a luxury cruise to the grocery shop !!
Don't want to say anything more. THE END. Seeya.

But it serves the purpose, doesn't it? Having an engine screaming like hell is not what we would want on a loooong highway! And, may be, the handling is non existent just because the corners are non existent too.
sriram: the purpose being ? annoying people ? they have no character and a character my dear friend is the most important thing in a car or a person is wat i believe in..
yes agreed corners are non-existent but could that be because of the cars or is it the other way around. a classic case of which came first the hen or the egg is wat i will say
I read an article in HSW and came to know that the Americans built their roads a little over a century ago and when they did, they made sure they were all biggies so that they could connect the vast expenses of the continent. And, as much as what a 430 Scud means to me so does a Range Rover--SUVs have their own going.
sriram: Ya they roadways are quite new, what they did is during the mad expansion phase they blasted through watever was in their way to make he roads arrow str8.
Ya i agree but they have their territory. The range rover is gr8 wen no roads exist and they are never in their territory they are used as in town run abouts and more so annoying is manufacturers designing them to be. The so called soft-roader.
