So by your argument peter3hg2, nobody really needs a Jaguar XJ, BMW 7-Series, Mercedes S-Class, or Audi A8, all of which are on par with or bigger than the 300C. Just because you have been raised in a different car culture doesn't mean that people from other cultures are completely wrong. Why don't we just all jam our families in the back of a Honda Insight?peter3hg2 said:The fact is a typical family with 2.4 kids don't need a great hulking giant.
Theres no need for extra space than is provided by a Golf (I fit comfortably in the back and I'm 6ft2). Theres also no point paying for twice the amount of fuel when you can go just as fast in a hatchback.
The R32 is only 0.1 seconds slower to 62mph than the 5.7 Hemi 300c so I can't really see any way the 300C would leave it in a different "time zone". Infact with any corners the GTi would kick the 300C into the middle of next week.
What most people forget when arguing that everybody should be in smaller cars is the power of choice. Choice is what lets us buy a "big, hulking giant" or an "underpowered Euro hatch" and be comfortable with it. If I choose to drive around downtown New York City in a ChevroForDodgeYota TahoExpeDuranSequoia and blast P Diddy albums from behind tinted windows, that's my choice and I can do so legally; nobody should be able to force them to do anything otherwise. It's not a smart choice, in fact it's fucking retarded, but if we start imposing on it it becomes a slippery slope.
