Euros cost a billion $$ to fix a small issue no doubt.

But after growing up with Fords and Holdens they are just way behind in quality.

Each to their own but I think the Euro cars have a poor reputation here but really there are some amazing buys now due to that opinion (yes imho)

I can't believe no one has mention the Holden Camira? Seriously! Seriously though, I think the Lamborghini Miura is right up there for me.

My parents had a Camira thank you very much.

The Miura is interesting as I don't necessarily like it but in person could be entirely different (like the F40)

I quite like it, I have seen one in the flesh in Richmond, there was an exotic car workshop in Richmond where my TAFE was, I was walking to school and a Lamborghini Miura came coughing, spluttering and stalling into the street

Needs more LS1
