I don't know what you mean by your standard is better than our best. German cars for example only bring their top of the line cars in the US. You won't find any diesel 4 mercs or beemers here. They're six or turbo fours at best. Even VW only brings cars with 2.0 liters or more. The interiors tend to be of higher quality too.
The only car that Europe has that we don't, is the old Focus RS. So yeah, you were just generalizing and spouting off ignorant statements without backing them up with any facts. Compare the cars, don't tell us what your dad's job is.
I've been to both continents and US definitely has a bigger market with better options and even cheaper prices.

Btw, AC. What do you think about the WRX? Mileage isn't great but performance wise it's a beast. You can tune it to produce a lot more hp.

You lot could just read that
I didn't even realise this was a subject for debate, i've always known it as it is....fact.
Don't even know why I am arguing with two people that I used to respect that I have recently found to be arrogant, egotistic fools.

Oh, I'm the arrogant one here.
But seriously, better gas mileage doesn't mean the cars are better. US has a shitload of SUV's and trucks. People love them here. Plus, US also gets bigger engines and they're gas/petrol instead of diesel which gives higher mileage.
And I never thought of gas mileage as determining what makes a better car. I guess it would depend on the person and their needs, but if AC was that concerned about that, he'd just buy a Prius.

know nothing about cars? and i am an arrogant and egotistic fool? projecting must run deep in your family, anyhoos lemme just dismantle your idiotic preposterous argument like i always do, what is your standard for fuel consumption and in case you forgot whom you;re talking to or the english language, standard would be the median not the best.

OP
Based on how you've spoken to me recently and how you based an argument on gay marriage around the personal cost to you, which I still don't.
If you want to call me arrogant you can, but bear in mind - I do it ironically (Irony - The expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.), when I do, do it.
My car, which is about 15 years old, gets 12 miles to the litre -
1 US gallon = 3.78541178 litres
12 X 3.78 = 45.36 MPG
Thats on a 1.1 litre engine from 15 years ago.
A new focus in the uk accroding to dirrectgov http://carfueldata.direct.gov.uk/search-new-or-used-cars.aspx?vid=29590
On avg gets 58.9 to a British gallon, i can't be arsed with changing the maths (UK=4.45 L, US = 3.78 L)
But it works out at about 55 miles per US gallon.
