Stateside "windup"?

Pat Hasler:
I can agree with the outdated bit but Americans do not seem to think the are behind ‘How can the most advanced country in the world be behind in vehicle technology?’ I hear them say
The strange thing is that even though Ford is a US compny the European side in 10 years ahead of the US side.
I have lost count of the rows I have had with drivers who refuse to believe that any truck made in Europe could compare to one made here.

Pat,

That’s probably due to the fact that none of them have stepped foot outside of the USA to try anything different in the first place.

The same thing applies to the Coach Industry in the USA & Canada, too. Give me a Volvo, anyday.

Jim.
