Japan, Germany, Italy ... I think we can all agree they make better cars than anything produced by a British manufacturer in recent decades.
US cars are strange. I often find the European versions of US models to be miles better than those produced for the US market. So it's hard to decide what exactly is an American car.
Just want to point out the same is true of european cars. The entry-level Mercedes-Benz cars in the US market are miles better than those generally available in the European markets.
Mercedes-Benz in the USA is strictly a luxury marque, and they want to keep it that way so they only bring over the larger, higher tier models with a lot of nice options. You don't see A and B class Mercs here.
I just bought a Mercedes Benz and I absolutely disagree. The GLA in the US is absolutely barebones, you have to pay for literally everything, while in EU even the most basic version of that car is very decently spec'ed. Maybe it's not true if other models,but literally every single review of the GLA that I watched on YouTube had to be corrected for the EU market because of how poorly the US cars are configured by default.
And a lot of those manufacturers are gonna move those manufacturing out of the UK if they have to pay a 10% tariff to serve the 10 times larger EU market.
Most British car companies are owned by foreigners anyways, and if anything, this was a vote against non-British than a vote against the EU.
After rebuilding a mg sprite 1275 motor, then looking at some motors produced by Datsun, good god the design of the MG motor makes me not want to drive the car, if the timing skips a tooth the piston will hit the cam thats in the block, and then explode (guessing, thats why it was rebuilt in the first place, the old block exploded).. In fact in the classic mini that we will be working on its going to get a honda D-series motor, good ol faithful.
