A bizarre statement as US highway speeds are "legally" below that of Europe where highway speeds are 70-80 mph. And the most common small car in the UK atleast is the Ford Ka, with a massive 59 hp and abundant on motorways.

Which would be great, except America is guilty of
all the same things as the other failing nations. You still have record debts that need sorting, the difference is you had the economic clout to try and buy your way out of it. But the austerity is coming, and it's coming hard.
