That’s fair, since I don’t think Europeans realize how weird and dumb - not to mention unnecessary - any displacement below 3.5L sounds to most of us Americans. 

It’ll be like the Thunderdome back there. Open up once you get to Grandma’s to witness the carnage and how many grand kids they have left.
