>Trust me, the French DO know how to make cars - but not American cars. Their cars have the charm, originality, ingenuity, elegance, neat little tricks, original looks - and not the n hundred HP, macho looks and 200 little electric motors for any movable part in the cabin.

>Don't confuse the taste of American importers, who simply never knew how to sell French cars, with engineering and quality. Even the smallest French cars (and I drove Citroën 2CV and a Renault 4 and a bit of Renault 14) were very comfortable, held the road well and ran quite fine, despite the smallish engines.


The French auto industry is getting quite a lot of praise here. OK, maybe I was wrong.
