Hmm. You don't appreciate a 6000 pound truck with a Cadillac or
Lincoln badge on it? What is wrong with you? :-)
Bad as it is, we frequently get special "American versions of imported
models for our market. Impossible to get a stylish hatchback here,
well except for the Mini and VW GTI. Clean diesels are always a year
away. Engines have to be designed around poor gasoline. The only
French cars here are the Nissans and a few old Jeep Cherokees. No
Italian cars. A limited range of VWs and Audis. Surprisingly I am
seeing cabs in Long Beach exactly like the ones I rode in in London.
Not sure how they get those in.
