The fact is that although we are exposed to some incredible cars here in the USA, there are still cars out there available to our friends in Europe that we wish we could drive here. Rumors continue to circulate suggesting the return of Alfa Romeo to the American landscape, however that still leaves a lot of cars out of the mix for consumption here in the USA.
Let's face it, as gas prices continue to climb, the reality of smaller more efficient cars and diesels become an easier sale for dealers, however very few options exist. As enthusiasts fuel efficiency and fun to drive must coexist to satisfy that need to enjoy driving while being fiscally responsible.
So the question is this, what European car do you wish you could buy in the USA? My number one choice would be the Peugeot 207 GTi. Although I have never driven, or for that matter seen this car in person, pictures suggest a car that combines an exciting exterior with a engine predisposed to satisfy the enthusiast.
A close second would be the new Fiat 500. Combining the charm of the Mini with a economical engine, this car would be the perfect choice for running errands as well as a night out on the town.
Be it Peugeot, Citreon, Alfa Romeo or Fiat, Europeans are fortunate to be able to drive a whole bunch of cars we don't get to enjoy here in the USA. So go ahead and throw out several suggestions as to what you'd like to see on American soil.
