yeah, i know, europe gets lots of awesome cars, sadly, i know what you are talking about. I should move to europe, cuz America (south, central and north) doesn't get pretty good cars, we get the leftovers, i hate that, by the way FREE BUMP!

Well, let me correct that a lil, we now have Seats (leon is a 180HP AWD 6 speed, the Ibiza Turbo which is the same as the GTi 1.8 turbo) and Chevrolet is selling the Astra (originally is a Vauxhall and is a 2.2 liter and there is a turbo version coming this year!)

air suspension.

Earlier Lexus LS400's, Infiniti Q45's, and some of today's Range Rovers still have them. Gimmicky, I'd rather have good coilovers.
