We get some truly awful Chryslers too - the 300C is by far the best of them! Although I suspect some of the Chrysler and Jeep models we get are aimed at the Euro market, being available as diesels...

Oh, and a few Cadillacs, although I suspect the BLS doesn't sell in the US (doesn't sell much here either) - somehow they took a Saab 9-3 and made it worse.

Fortunately we have a few specialist importers who bring over the 'vettes, new Camaro, Mustang, Escalade and a few others. These are mainly for people who love their American metal and have more money than sense - a V8 Camaro is well over GBP40,000, an Escalade ESV is approaching GBP60,000!

Can't see me ever having an American car over here - except maybe a 'vette as a weekend toy. But if I ever end up in the US for more than a few months I reckon my first purchase would be an Escalade!
