What do Europeans think of American cars? Specifically brands like Lincoln, Cadillac, Tesla, etc

I dont think ive ever seen a Lincoln or a Cadillac here. Theres the occasional Chrysler or Chevy. Teslas getting very popular with wealthy old guys though.

Well it's a damn good thing insurance and fuel and taxes are so cheap in America that we can afford to drive whatever we want instead of worrying about stupid things like "whether we can afford it"

>Lincoln
...who?
>Caddilac
Blingnigger tier. Ironically local brownies prefer BMWs and Mercs, and I doubt too many even know Cadillacs are actually on sale over here.

My local Opel (GM) dealership has a 300-something sedan and some SUV all the way in the back of the lot. Also a Corvette in the front.
All of them overpriced, more expensive than what Americans pay for Euro imports.

>Tesla

lol hippies. Searching for a used tesla in the local online portals only yields a handful of results.
Electric cars aren't a thing here, either, especially considering that you'd need your own garage or at least parking spot right in front of your house - something inner city dwellers don't have.

Lots of Teslas
Occasionally see cadillac STS
Never seen a late model lincoln

Lol who cares

Yeah thats why you have to worry about being rear ended by a nigger that doesnt have insurance.

euro here
They feel like shit made for white trash.
Especially trucks, for the chevy trucks the biggest advertisement here is honey boo boo.

Everyone thinks retro muscle cars are cool because they are different.
Nobody cares about corvettes because european ones are classier and cooler.
or luxury cars because we have the german and japanese ones which are better.

Basically they're shit.

>They have this sense of fake luxury thats considered really tasteless here.
this.

Idk what shithole you're in but we have no tax based on emissions or performance. Not even insurance cares all that much.

weird you don't drive around in ferraris and porsches then but instead opt for some shitboxes or """luxury"""" car styled after what hobos think is luxurious

Austria, its pretty bad. Especially for new drivers. A 160hp car can easily cost you 2k a year.

>Lincoln
no fuckin idea what is this
>Cadillac
shit, there's a superior european brand for every sector
>Tesla
Interesting, has a good impact on the global car industry

Same thing they think about guns, nothing of value because they will never touch one, but will try to cope on the internet by pretending not to care

>lincoln
Makes me think of 50 cent. Is this right?

>cadillac
Makes me think of that old american actor with the raspy voice.. forget his name. Can't think of any cadillac models that I can picture in my mind srs.

>tesla
Didn't know it was american. But I think theyre cool.

>etc
I can't think of any more... Does ford count? I don't even know.

But yeah. When I think "american car" I think of an old black boxy sedan.

Protip to americans: width =/= luxurious.

Also, "matte metal" effect plastic =/= sporty

Norther America is Ferraris largest market by a huge margin. It's Porsche's second largest behind China. Meanwhile, the Mustang outsells the 911 in Germany.

Why do Europeans make up all this fake "knowledge" about cars? If you want to talk about 1 liter diesel hatchbacks have at it, but why concern yourself with these cars that you will never even touch much less own?

stay mad amerifats, we have guns here
Couple of countries have legal full auto, many have CCW rights.

Go fucking roll your pickup truck while your 5000lbs sister is in the back you retarded redneck trash

come talk shit when your entire car culture isn't based around rolling coal or pointless pissing contests down a straight road.

>we have guns here
Post a timestamped pic of your gun. Of course you won't, because YOU don't actually have one, or a car that isn't a shitty diesel hatch, or any involvement in motorsports, but apparently for Europeans it's an accomplishment for other people that are born in the same country to maybe be able to do those things.

>it's a cucked western euro thinks he knows shit about america
simply ebin.

>but why concern yourself with these cars that you will never even touch much less own?
It's all sour grapes my dude.

I don't have my own gun since I have no need for it and it would be just a waste of money I could spend on a nice non american car.

>I have no need for it
typical yurocuck

Ahhh, and we're back to
Take a timestamped pic of your nice non American car

When I visit Russia, Ford is all over the place and the people clearly like the american cars and sort of see them as a luxury brand cheaper than mercedes.

>live in safe neighborhood pmuch near a police station
>only thing to worry about is a bear in the forest
>local range is annoying to get to and has annoying restrictions
>guns as hobby not as fun or interesting as cars

Don't need a gun just like I don't need some shitty unreliable v8 in a car that can't turn and has fake wood grain

Post your 20 l v8 american muscle collection and a ferrari and porsche then

At least they have proper engines.

ALL THE YUROKEKS IN HERE NEED TO START RESPECTING THE WINGS

>At least they have proper engines.
Cadillac CT6: 2.0L turbo I4, 3.0L twin turbo V6, 3.6L V6

Lincoln Continental: 2.7L twin turbo V6, 3.0L twin turbo V6, 3.7L V6

>Ford
Meh-tier, average cars
S-Max and Mondeo were quite liked, while the older Escorts, Sierras and the likes are god-tier

>Lincoln
Nobody knows what they are, and not sold here. Only ones you'll ever see are 30+ year old veteran cars, and those are very rare.

>Chevrolet
Not a brand generally sold here, and the ones that are sold are just their shared-platform cars.

>Tesla
Very well liked, one of the most sold cars for the past few years.

>Dodge
Pretty much unknown except for the modern muscle cars we see in films and old vans.

>Chrysler
See Dodge

>Ford
Your average company cars. Europeans actually know them because they are the only company with actual European heritage, rather than just imports. Their current lineup are good, except the Kuga, I mean Jesus fuckin' Christ...

But their older cars, like the Escort, Sierra and the God-like Capri, are better.

>Lincoln
Pass. Not sold here. And the ones that we see are the old large-barges. But then again, maybe they aren't sold here is because we know luxury and sophistication is not just chrome, leather and a lazy V8

>Cadillac
Plastic interiors. And I mean plastic made from wheelie bins. But I haven't seen their more recent lineup.

>Chevrolet
European Chevys are just re-badged Korean Deawoos. Or, at least, they were. The muscle cars are laughable and I haven't seen the electric cars they make.

>Tesla
Not seen one in the real world but I have seen a display car in York and it was a handsome car.

>Dodge
I have ridden in a Challenger and Jesus Christ, I have sat in a car with such a rubbish ride quality. That might be because of the pot-hole-ridden British roads but still, bad. And I know they do the Charger because GTA's Buffalo kinda looks like it. If you squint at it.

>Chrysler
hehehehehehehehehe.

And the rest of GM's and Ford subsidiaries can be filed in the special circular filing cabinet that I keep in the corner of my room call the rubbish bin

>Lincoln
have never seen one on the road.
>Cadillac
Awesome in the 90's, cars for africans after that also. See them on the road quite often but not nearly as much as Mercedes, which is better.
>Tesla
see this dickhead mobiles a lot on the road, they are financially attractive where I live, governement pays up to %70 of the taxes on the vehicle, doesn't cost anything to keep it on the road. usually driven by dickheads who would have bought a range rover otherwise

Post your ferrari ahmed

It's the sort of rare car nobody really wants.

>Lincoln
I knew there is this brand but if i ask anyone else about Lincoln, they'll tell me that he was a president...probably.
>Cadillac
Never seen one in here, central Europe by the way
>Tesla
Heard a lot about it, but never saw one.
>Ford
"I would rather push my skoda, than to drive a ford" is what you would hear if you asked in Czech republic, of course there are fanatics praising Ford Galaxy to the skies, to them, we just point out that its Alhambra or Sharan in disguise
>Chrysler
I always saw them with either balding 40 years old or with even older ladies
>Dodge
Never seen one on our roads, then again, our roads are capable of destroying threads on tanks so there's that.

I've seen quite a few new mustangs on the road. I think they're cool but if it was my money i'd probably pussy out and get a cayman instead even if it's slower.

I've seen a few new camaros here but no idea why anyone would buy one as they're only available in wrong hand drive.

Model Ss are everywhere here. I guess if you don't drive out of the city much they make sense. They don't really seem as polished as the equivalent S-class though. I'd love to have a go in a tesla roadster, only ever seen one or two irl

Lincoln is such a sexy brand for heritage, but man are they fucking their shit up. Makes me really sad.

This applies to every American ever
Especially ones crying about moon landing or massive military or accomplishments of anyone that isn't them

Fuck off

African poster here. Cadillac a best, Lincoln a shit.

Europeans look at cars very differently compared to Americans, they're not as emotional about them. 95% wouldn't even know Lincoln exists, it's just "one of those American sedans from the movies".

Anyhow if anything I like to steer people away from anything GM, be that ferd or Opel, you're a fucking retard if you buy any of that crap, since there's so much more and better alternatives available in Europe.

>driving shitty crooked and uneven highways
>in a 20 yo bashed up death trap that gets 10 mpg despite lack of power
>comes home to the wooden box he calls a house
who cares what Americans think, they live in a bubble anyway

Pointless cars, there is a better and cheaper Euro car for every murrican car

only ever actually think of american cars when i see them..

the country definately did have an escalay moment.. when 50 cent was big.

port towns usually have some classic american motors around..

vettes and stangs although it might just be that one place in particular.

new mustang has been spotted several times..

looka very nice and understated, almost gt like.

that car from the matrix movies and that car that almost looks like a Bentley.. are the most popular mass produced american cars by far.. apart from ford stuff.

the closest thing we have to American cars are rebadged dewooos which are now chebby owned.

teslas are cool though, not that rare to see one..

every now and then iv seen your suvs and they are huge.. hummer drawfing things although id be hard pressed to name the brand they belong too.

cadillac

Lincoln and Cadillac isnt really sold or thought much about over here. At least here in Norway. Tesla on the other hand is quite highly regarded by a lot of people for the value for money you can get in an electric car! Good range, well equipped and fancy looking for under 100k USD. I live in an appartment complex for ppl under 30 and there is 3 model S owners just here.(Dunno where ppl here get their money, i cant even affort a 1/10th of a tesla) Caddy's and lincoln is just too expensive after tax here to be viable really.

It's true. BMW is goat.

>Lincoln
As in, those cars with the suicide doors in the back and no centre pillar?
>Cadillac
Old caddies are gorgeous.
>Tesla
Won't the battery die in winter?

Nobody in their right mind would buy a non-classic american car and expect it to work.
It just won't pass inspections after a few years, and will have no value by 10 years old beyond scrap.

>Classic american cars
Fucking amazing.
>Modern american cars
Pretty pointless or horribly overpriced.

Tesla atm is pretty rare but interesting car, but highly doubt i'll ever get one.

>ebin
>using eurocuck memes

>caring about American cars post 1972
>strictly speaking 1965 already

Germany here

If someone imports a true american car from the US, the first thing he usually does is replacing the oil pan. Putting in a much bigger one.
The american ones are to small for german autobahn speeds.
Dont know exactly why, I think they overheat.

The only american brand which you see often is Ford. But these are usually designed for the european market in cologne. Things like pick ups and mustang are just out for the market since a few years and people rarely buy them

There are some Cadillacs and Chryslers but they are considered horrible unreliable.

Teslas got the same image in here like in the US. There have been sold more Tesla S than 7 series last year becaus the 5 series is to good.

Other than that there are no american cars here

What's better and cheaper than a mustang GT.

Focus RS actually starts at four grand less than the Mustang GT in Germany and is better suited to our motoring environment. There's no point to the extra 70 hp if you need to make do with a much bigger and therefore less manouverable car with worse interior space, two fewer driven wheels, worse handling AND worse fuel economy in return. The 0-60 time is only 0.2 seconds off, the quarter mile time is only half a second off, the Focus RS actually manages a one mph higher top speed than the Mustang GT.

Oh, and it's got a higher skidpad rating and a higher slalom speed than the Mustang GT.

I like many of the older (pre-oil crisis) american cars

t. Sweden

But that's post oil crisis. Also American cars always look cool as hell from some feet away, almost like caricatures or HotwheeIs, but up close it becomes obvious how cheaply they've been made for decades.

woops, wrong pic. The trans am still looks great though

as I sidenote I've never actually seen a buick in real life

>Sweden
>never seen a Buick

n-no, the only american brands I've seen and noted are Ford, Cadillac, tesla (almost all of them from norway, I think they subsidies electric cars), Chevrolet, Chrysler and jeep. Unless you're memeing me with some ownership technicality

Nah, I'm just saying, Sweden is always portrayed as having tons of American cars and meets.

They are considered sub par compared to european cars, go on youtube and watch any car spotter videos that are in european cities and you won't see a american car

I drive one.

Well, technically...

>tesla
Breddy gud
>cadillac, lincoln
I only ever see them at/near US-army bases here in germany, not the newest models, most look cheaply made both from the outside but especially from the inside

Every now and then you find a challenger but it's lunchboxy shape doesn't fit too well on our streets either

He's probably a poorfag or underage. I can post my CCW gun and SUV for him if necessary.

Califorinian BTW.

because they technically are.

American Luxury Cars from the 70's to the early 00's (specifically brands like Cadillac and Ford derivatives Lincoln/Mercury) never really held their value, which made them really cheap luxury cars, and in general, no matter how much pricier they are than their standard Ford/GM counterparts, they are usually still more affordable than actual luxury vehicles.

I dont know what car prices are like in Russia, but it wouldnt surprise me. a Lincoln Continental today, is basically just a fancier Taurus. A factor which makes it cheaper to produce and sell. a Lincoln Continental is under 45k. which is fairly cheap all things considered

A low mileage used E92 M3 is cheaper and better
Or M240i if you're buying new

my nigga, I will buy the cts in a few months I just gotta get to now the procedure how to import one from germany

Do you like Joops?
