European Cars That Are Actually Interesting

Since Dave S is seemingly trying to make us Europeans look like a bunch of underpowered diesel van drivers I decided that the situation demanded a swift and effectiver counter attack to show you Yanks that there actually are some decent cars on our side of the pond. Wich we keep for ourselves, naturally.

Exhibit #1 - The coolest executive car on sale today, the Citroën C6.







Notice the concave rear window.

Exhibit #2 - Focus ST. RS version is on the way.



Exhibit #3 - Hot Renaults. (see unlike the new laguna they make nice cars occasionally) Ignore those stickers though.






Exhibit #4 - Alfas!

Just look at that interior.





Exhibit #5 - Cheap and cheerful motoring.











I always digged those posh Pandas.

Exhibit #6 - TVR.

I'd rather have this one than the RR, it's like what Batman would drive if he had a SUV lol ]
Bro I think you just killed the thread with that X6 lol.

No it's cool, but I assumed you intended to post in the X6 thread?

Haha. You know I started thinking about making a thread of all the cool Euro cars, and on top of the list was Citroen C6. I actually like the new Megane and the Caddy is just perfect for Joxie boy.

Ahh snap how could I've forgotten about the S3.

I'll throw some Defender pics in for good measure.





Is the Opel Astra VXR worthy of mentioning? I know it's hot hatch but on the other hand it's still an Opel...

I think the old Vauxhall VX220 turbo (the Opel Speedster turbo) is worth mentioning.
The old Lotus Omega as well

If we're talking Q-cars we can't leave the Lancia Thema 8.32 out:
