One of the new toyota hybrid convertibles looks a bit like it could have been inspired by that Porsche:

That's my dream ride.

Here's my old dream ride:

But it's getting old. 94k... I have to sell it soon. *sigh*

What's the biggest difference between American and European cars u guys think?! And which one do you prefer?

I've always had American because they're cheaper, but my parents have European cars. The European cars handle much better - lets face it, you have to be pretty agile to drive on the Autobahn. I like old american cars, hybrids and new European cars - but not so much the minis like the citroen. Pretty much if it isn't a convertible, though, I don't notice it.

LOL... I remember driving in Cornwall an buzzing around a corner to find the entire road filled with sheep. I would add "stopping for sheep" to the European design functions!
