In the mid '80s I bought an Airfix 1/18th model of a 6.6 turbo Firebird and I still have it in a display case in my front room.I suppose it's the closest I'll ever get to owning one. To me they lost it big time when they went to the KITT shape.

KITT......the car of the future today.

Ive never seen the attraction of any American cars. Only good thing about any of them was the noise.

Yep, my mate had one. It kept badgering him for years about things that clearly weren't a problem, like "low fuel level" when he'd just filled up. Then it started bleating about a brake problem and, naturally, he ignored it. A couple of weeks later his brakes failed.

No nor me.  I think they still use leaf springs?   

American pickups however!    Yeee hah!

Oh I don't know, If I didn't have to pay my own fuel bills, a crown Vic seems like the ultimate daily driver.

I like the Dodge Ram but feel that it needs the 8 litre V10 under the 'hood' but not sure I'd want to pick up the fuel bill ... besides, American cars' interiors could be better

Have to agree a lot of their interiors do seem to be on the "cheap and nasty" side of the spectrum.I've looked at quite a few Trans-Ams at car shows and they've all[regardless of engine size]had speedometers that only read to 100mph

The tyre (or tires, if you are a yank) top out at 80 MPH.

didn't they go through a phase of speedos just going up to 85mph?

I had a Grand Marquis for a while, which is the same car with an even tackier interior. A V6 Scorpio is a much better car in every way, unless red vinyl and chrome plated plastic is important to you.
