Wat experience do u have with Japanese and Euro expats. Im gonna go w/ Mr Cougsboto

The expats I worked with and know are primarily from France, Germany, Austria, Belgium and The Netherlands. The most "sensible" expat car I can think of I've seen is a Tiguan. These folks also tend to be highly compensated, with likely a vehicle stipend, so there's that.

Most any SUV or CUV these days are good cars, even when not used to their advantage (carrying lots of people/stuff/family + all weather use). Pretty much no one has SUV/CUV buyers' remorse, expat or otherwise.

You guys are acting like the SUV craze isn't going on in Europe to.  I'm in Albania right now, and Greece and Turkey before that, and half the cars I see are some sort of SUV/raised wagon thing.  Europeans, especially eastern Euros, love that shit.

France is all about the MPVs and CUVs now. All powered by little diesels, of course.

And all about the size of a Ford Focus or smaller.

IIRC, the compact CUV segment as a whole outsells the bigger full sized SUV segment



And let's not get started on how much of a non-event that large sedans here in the US

I'd rather lick a toilet bowl clean than drive a Honda Crosstour!

I'd pay good money to see that.

I'll put $200 down right now.  Let's get a fund going.  Already, I hear Klacky taking a 2nd mortgage out on his house just to make it possible.

Seriously, I would pay to see Madman lick a toilet bowl clean, too.

Bonus points if we all get to take dumps in it first.

They are - left had the smog digitally removed; Famed Parisian landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower have been increasingly obscured in recent years by an oppressive smog. City officials have placed the blame chiefly on diesel exhaust, widening a Europewide attack on the fuel.

As people drive more and more, all cities get ever more polluted.
