These are a few clips from a popular motoring show on the BBC (British) that might give some of you guys a good idea about what Americans and the British think about cars.

There are alot more out there, sorry if some of them are hard to load, I have a pretty quick connection so I often overestimate other's.

I think that Honda Civic video got Chinese scared. Heck, it would even make Toyota scared, since Corolla is not as good as the latest Civic.

i think the chinese companies could make a civic clone in a day lol if they wanted

Could they make a car that looks like a Civic? Probably. But there is alot more to it then looks, all of that technology, as well as the reliability and safety that you get with the Civic comes much harder. I'd be willing to pay a few thousand dollars more for a true Honda Civic then I would for a knockoff version from Chery or Geely.

Did you perhaps find out about this site from www.bimmerforums.com? :D

Nope, I actually got most of it through other sites like supercars.net and searches of my own.

I like bimmerforums for information on BMWs only, they often arn't very helpful or knowledgeable about other cars.

Of course.

Interesting, especially that first video. I totalled an '02 525i that I had (bounced it off a curb) and the one thing that amazed me was all the doors still opened and closed perfectly. The undercarraige on the other hand, was a mess.
