Certainly not after, because of their abandoning good FWD cars. THX Daimler! You should learn your facts or use your brain before you spout off your BIG mouth. The Chrysler vehicles we used to buy, mid sized cars, were lower priced than the equivalent Toyota, Honda, Nissan. The Chrysler quality was excellent. Those cheap "Japanese" vehicles don't suit us, in fact most are too small for us to get behind the steering wheel. The cheap Japanese cars that fitted us were back in the 70s, when I bought 3 Datsun 510s. |

I like it... does that mean "we" got bigger, equatorially speaking?

Nope, not that much larger.
Once the Japanese got a good foothold in our NA marker, they followed the well known path to higher profits, make the passenger space smaller in the lower cost cars. We suffer from head and leg room in many low cost cars, as well as in high cost sports cars.

Didn't there used to be car import quotas in the US? This resulted in only
bigger, higher margin cars being exported to the US. As the quotas fell away more smaller cars came into the US. The rest of the world manages very well with 'small' cars. In many city streets American 'full size' cars are just physically too big to be of any use.

Japanese cars have steadily gotten larger for the most part over the years. You don't see Honda AN600 sedans or coupes anymore. The Nissan Sentra and Altima are quite a bit larger than the 90's versions. American cars have shrunk lately such as the Chevy Aveo. |

Much of that has to do with high taxes on gas in those countries. England has been upwards of $9/gallon. Do that here in the USA and demand for tiny cars will skyrocket. |

The Honda Accord is officially a full-size car, it has so much interior room. So your statement is not only false, it shows an incredible lack of basic research. > We suffer from head and leg room in many low cost cars, as well as in > high cost sports cars. So get a motorcycle. |

I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow. Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm-into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires."-new moon, stephenie meyer |
