Over 3L is a very marginal market of expensive toys.

It suits us, why wouldn't it suit Americans


PS : get a manual rather than automatic transmission.

Cuz we like big trucks - little motors don't suit us (except for commuting!). Dream ride would be a 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel with chrome stacks. Sad thing is it would get better mpg than some cars/most SUVs.
