I would.

Do not go to France then, you would really see what means treating your car badly.

To this one (a 206 Group N from the single-make Cup with a 1600cc N/A four) probably not dissimilar.

This the only bad Toyota that was sold in Europe that I can think of.

I tried to think about it I don’t think there is anything offensive enough that Toyota sold in Europe (except perhaps the SC430 that has already been mentioned). You may like them more or less but they are fine cars in general.

There are many types of race(rally)cars.

I am going to assume that New York is more or less the US equivalent of an European large city (good public transport, no need for a car, difficult parking, etc.).

Oh I understand that they are not the biggest sellers, neither are they in Europe. But mu thought was more along the lines of failed ventures such as “One Ford” or the late Saturns / Buicks. These didn’t work at all and ended up being cancelled. But this while not the greatest sellers, aren’t going to be cancelled any…

In Europe the base Tonale has a 1470cc engine with half the power of the base Hornet. Strangely it isn’t available with a manual and there is a similarly powerful diesel too.

Possibly, I myself would do it, if only for the sixes and V8s.

It’s ironic, hybridisation and electrification is what will make EU and US cars converge. Most of these are available in Europe, including the same exact powertrains.

I don’t know if this is also the case in the US but I have also seen people downsizing (especially as they grow older). I have seen cases such as: 5 Series > 3 Series > A-Class or XF > GLA-Class.

Well in the case of this particular car it doesn’t apply as people would buy it in droves… if they fitted with a 1300cc engine.

I think that Daewoo would be too downmarket (especially considering BEV are not exactly cheap at the moment), a sort of American Dacia. That is a bit the issue with Chevrolet too.

We are certainly limited by space. And running costs (although that is not as important since our bigger cars have small engines and the cost isn’t that different).

Many “underpowered” econocars from the EU (70-80bhp) can easily exceed 80mph. If the US you can barely go 55 what is the issue?

It’s a 1.8 litre, isn’t it?

For some reason, rear wheel drive is not allowed…

I read from a qualified source that the new SLTA Large is a reworked Giorgio. In the same way the some other Stellantis platforms have been recycled into new names.

Two things:
