Huge amounts of salt being spread on British roads as well. I think it was the high price of steel at that time that made it attractive to recycle scrap iron which resulted in poor quality bodies. I hope standards are kept high today as the price of steel over the past twelve months has been just as high historically speaking.
American models apart from Jeep have never sold well in Europe. In the UK Chrysler is now marketting their rather nice looking 300C and might well sell it well. The specification, looks and the drive is good and the availability of the superb V6 diesel engine Which NA and Canada might not get is a big plus point.
From your email address I thought *you* were the wife. LOL
Surely not in Canada. Many posters on the Toyota and Honda group from Florida and all over the USA. Never heard of an issue with overheating. Big engines are just as prone to overheat as it is just a symptom of an inadequate or defective cooling system, nothing more.
Even some of the Jap stuff has problems
Well there you go.
With the "world market" lots of our "American" engines are
They have a lot of heat in those countries. Daewoo is now rebranded as Chevrolet in most of Europe today. LOL

My friends in Canada have no problem with Summer heat but do mention Winter cold.
No it doesn't. Almost any small family car can cruise indeffinately at over 100mph.
There's more money to be made from big cars and the consumer is a fickle creature. One minute he wants big cars and bigger SUV's then when the inevitable fuel price increase occurs he wants to downsize. The car manufacturers cannot win in that situation unless they mainly target smaller car markets to start with.
Ford and GM can't seem to build decent small cars, except for
The Ford Focus and Mondeo they produce over here are really top clbutt cars. They have given up trying to sell Ford brand cars any bigger and they have bought premium brands to fill this sector.

Their European cars are OK and that's it. A few Corsa are sold to private owners but most Astra and Vectra go to fleets. Their drivetrains are pretty good but apart from one or two models they are not 'desireable' cars. Their latest diesel engines are built to Fiat design.
