I have no opinion about their cars and I like most French people I have met,
but I certainly don't agree with your statement that the French "...out
style us, out class us or that they are more artistic..." on the whole or
at all.

They out style us, out class us, and are way more artistic, on the whole.
Their cars, in the hayday before WWII, were far more refined than ours. But
now that they are against W's war people seem to think the French are awful
at everything. Not only the Delage, but the Delahaye, the Bugatti, the
racing Panhards and even the Renault. The "lowly" Renault is giving Ferrari
fits in F1. Even the Citroen DS 19 was way ahead of anything we built in
1960. Refinement ain't girlie, guys.
