How does Veeky Forums feel about manufactures moving towards global platforms?

kek, the american cars so slow a tree grows while its crashing

It's not the cars so much as the drivers. American douchebags watch a drift video and think they have the same skills as someone that's been drifting for longer than they've been alive. Sure, some cars are built shitty, but when you drive them past their level of performance what else do you expect? That's like blaming silverware and plates for making people fat when in fact it's their own stupidity.

Don't have to worry about that lad. All of the """"Good""""" american cars these days are riding on platforms developed in europe.

>but when you drive them past their level of performance what else do you expect?
But how can a regular Joe Blow get past the level of performance of a car?

By having cheap tires

So what.. Toyota does it too. Look at $100K LC and LS , which are using the $25K Prius platform aka TNGA.

American cars have nothing to lose, Japanese and European cars have nothing to gain.

But MQB is a sweet platform.

By making it do things it wasn't designed to do. You don't see people picking up something like a Rav4 for it's sick drift abilities, do you? I never heard anyone sing songs of praise for the Isuzu Trooper 2/Acura SLX being a drag racing beast. Use some common sense.

I'm okay with it as long as the cars are good. TNGA and MQB have both seemed to put out great cars.

Toyota made me actually find the Camry lust-worthy. I didn't even think that was possible.
