The requirements that 'destroyed' the B etc. are now very nearly EVERYONE's
requirements. The only things the American market demands now that puzzles
many others? Automatics and CUPHOLDERS. Cupholders that hold really BIG
containers of our favorite beverages. Nobody loves cars like Americans (or
Canadians for that matter -- known to the rest of the world as faux
Americans;-) -- come on guys, it's a JOKE. . .anyways, we practically live
in our cars. That explains why so many of 'em are nearly as big as houses.
Oh, btw not many of us really want a 'lovely' driver's car. Bitchin',
awesome, kick-ass, and so on, but 'lovely', nah.
Michael, New Bern, NC, just your basic average lookin' driver.
