<div> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As you, the reader can already tell by my name, I LOVE cars made in Europe (and some in America as well). Even though I do live in the <br />
US, I very much prefer European cars to American ones. Take for example the design: American cars can be good sometimes, but you can't <br />
beat the looks of most European cars. I consider myself a big fan of many supercars, whether Italian, British, or German (and yes, there are <br />
German supercars). If it seems to you like I only favor expensive cars, well, you're mostly right in that sense. Here's a list of 15 main <br />
manufacturers I like and some of the reasons why I do:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. ALFA ROMEO - Has a great history, some absolutely stunning automobiles, and is favored by the Top Gear presenters<br />
<br />
2. ASTON MARTIN - Makes some of the most beautiful machines in Europe, almost perfect designs on all models, great performance<br />
<br />
3. AUDI - The R8, TT, and A5 are all stunning, not a single bad looking model in the range, I LOVE the R8 (favorite supercar)<br />
<br />
4. BMW (some) - Some good looking models (3 Series Coupe, Z4) but mostly not<br />
<br />
5. BUGATTI - The mind blowing Veyron, and the sheer presence and rarity of it, the FASTNESS<br />
<br />
6. FERRARI - The whole model range is FANTASTIC, the great history, superior performance, every car looks brilliant<br />
<br />
7. JAUGAUR - The fairly new XF, and XK, and the history of the company<br />
<br />
8. KOENIGSEGG - MIND BLOWING performance from all models, some of the best looking cars in the world<br />
<br />
9. LAMBORGHINI - Intimidating looks, excellent performance, and the company's history<br />
<br />
10. LOTUS- good looking model range, decent performance, interesting to get out of<br />
<br />
11. MASERATI - The Granturismo, which looks great, and the now very established Quattroporte<br />
<br />
12. MERCEDES-BENZ (some) - The exotic supercars this company makes, but not so much their normal cars<br />
<br />
13. PAGANI - The Zonda is AWESOME<br />
<br />
14. PORSCHE- The company's rich history, and the wonderful cars like the 911 and Carrera GT<br />
<br />
15. TVR - Very good looking, high performance<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, after reading that, I hope you have somewhat of a perspective as to why I like certain types of cars: mostly for looks, performance, and exclusivity. This is really the problem with modern day supercar and high luxury car owners: you rarely ever see these kinds of cars on the road, unless you live in southern California (which I don't). I also have to admit, and a lot of people have already noticed, but supercars are priced WAY more than I can ever dream of affording. What I mean by this, is that a Ferrari 599 or Lamborghini Murcielago will burn through your wallet as fast as buying a house.</div>EuroCarLover01https://wikicars.org/index.php?title=Audi_S8&diff=126492Audi S82009-05-29T00:44:51Z<p>EuroCarLover01: </p>

As you, the reader can already tell by my name, I LOVE cars made in Europe (and some in America as well). Even though I do live in the <br />
US, I very much prefer European cars to American ones. Take for example the design: American cars can be good sometimes, but you can't <br />
beat the looks of most European cars. I consider myself a big fan of many supercars, whether Italian, British, or German (and yes, there are <br />
German supercars). If it seems to you like I only favor expensive cars, well, you're mostly right in that sense. Here's a list of 15 main <br />
manufacturers I like and some of the reasons why I do:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. ALFA ROMEO - Has a great history, some absolutely stunning automobiles, and is favored by the Top Gear presenters<br />
<br />
2. ASTON MARTIN - Makes some of the most beautiful machines in Europe, almost perfect designs on all models, great performance<br />
<br />
3. AUDI - The R8, TT, and A5 are all stunning, not a single bad looking model in the range, I LOVE the R8 (favorite supercar)<br />
<br />
4. BMW (some) - Some good looking models (3 Series Coupe, Z4) but mostly not, decent performance<br />
<br />
5. BUGATTI - The mind blowing Veyron, and the sheer presence and rarity of it, the FASTNESS<br />
<br />
6. FERRARI - The whole model range is fantastic, the great history, superior performance, every car looks brilliant<br />
<br />
7. JAUGAUR - The fairly new XF, and XK, and the history of the company<br />
<br />
8. KOENIGSEGG - Mind blowing performance from all models, some of the best looking cars in the world<br />
<br />
9. LAMBORGHINI - Intimidating looks, excellent performance, and the company's history<br />
<br />
10. LOTUS- good looking model range, decent performance, interesting to get out of<br />
<br />
11. MASERATI - The Granturismo, <br />
<br />
12. MERCEDES-BENZ (some) - <br />
<br />
13. PAGANI - <br />
<br />
14. PORSCHE- <br />
<br />
15. TVR -</div>EuroCarLover01https://wikicars.org/index.php?title=User:EuroCarLover01&diff=126484User:EuroCarLover012009-05-28T23:44:37Z<p>EuroCarLover01: </p>

<div>As you, the reader can already tell by my name, I LOVE cars made in Europe (and some in America as well). Even though I do live in the United States, I very much prefer European cars to American ones. Take for example the design: American cars can be good sometimes, but you can't beat the looks of most European cars. I consider myself a big fan of many supercars, whether Italian, British, or German (and yes, there are German supercars). If it seems to you like I only favor expensive cars, well, you're mostly right in that sense. Here's a list of 15 main manufacturers I like and some of the reasons why:<br />
<br />
1. Alfa Romeo - Has a great history, some absolutely stunning automobiles, and is favored by the Top Gear presenters<br />
2. Aston Martin - Makes some of the most beautiful machines in Europe, almost perfect designs on all models, great performance<br />
3. Audi - The R8, TT, and A5 are all stunning, not a single bad looking model in the range, I LOVE the R8 (favorite supercar)<br />
4. BMW (some) - Some good looking models (3 Series Coupe, Z4) but mostly not, decent performance<br />
5. Bugatti - The mind blowing Veyron, and the sheer presence and rarity of it, the FASTNESS<br />
6. Ferrari - The whole model range is fantastic, the great history, superior performance, every car looks brilliant<br />
7. Jaguar - The fairly new XF, and XK, and the history of the company<br />
8. Koenigsegg - Mind blowing performance from all models, some of the best looking cars in the world<br />
9. Lamborghini - Intimidating looks, excellent performance, and the company's history<br />
10. Lotus - good looking model range, decent performance, interesting to get out of<br />
11. Maserati - The Granturismo, <br />
12. Mercedes-Benz (some) - <br />
13. Pagani - <br />
14. Porsche - <br />
