And the Lincoln Towncar (based on the Grand Marquis/Crown Vic) and the new Caddy STS w/ RWD or AWD. But that Caddy is going head to head with M-B, BMWs and Audis in the same class, so it is pretty similar in dimensions and engines to the European cars. I’m pretty sure the M-B S-class is larger, heavier, and uses more fuel.
There are some Euro cars that I would like to see here in the States, mainly small wagons, especially with AWD. When Ford brought the Mondeo here as the Contour they didn’t bring the wagon, which I thought was a shame. You can get AWD on most VWs in Europe but only on the V6 Passat here.
For the reverse, many NA cars are available in Europe. It’s certainly easier (based on anecdotal experience) to get a US car into Europe than the other way around, but that’s one car at a time. Often the same cars are sold in NA and Europe, only branded for different markets and with different bodies. But the idea of the “World Car” that Ford tried with the Escort many years ago has pretty much been shelved.
Chrysler have had some success in recent years in Europe, since before the merger with Daimler-Benz. Jeep Cherokees are popular, and you also see quite a few Voyagers and Neons.
Aren’t these really just mid-sized cars? The C300 comes in at 103.8 for an interior, couldn’t find anything on the Crown Vic though. Eh, Ok, I count these 2 cars in. Big cars are excellent! Unfortunately, we’re gonna lose more points for brain functioning.
