Eh those safety ratings are done by simulating crashes with cars of the same size.
If an SUV getting a 3-star crash test crashes into a subcompact with a 5-sar rating, the subcompact's getting ****ed up.
But European cars are better than Americans, no doubt about it.
Carry on.

yet you think its fair to compare an entire continent composed of 48 individual countries, with a population of around 730 million people?
Also,each country is gonna have their strengths and weaknesses.
So if you're gonna compare Holland and the USA, compare it in EVERY aspect.
don't just crop out every EU country's best qualities, glue them together and say that Europe is better than the USA.

You can't compare the average living space of an American city to those of European cities, because that's ridiculous. London, Paris, Vienna and Athens are very very old places, living standards were so different during the Medieval era but it's the glamour of the Euro cities you're paying for. London was booming centuries when America had yet to be discovered never mind ancient Athens. I'm sure you'll agree with me though that having a renovated apartment in a historic building in London or overlooking Paris is a far more exciting prospect than a slightly bigger bedroom in Oklahoma....(no offense to Oklahoma of course). If you're thinking about N.Y or L.A, then someone mentioned earlier that places are pretty small in central N.Y....etc...
lol....money talks, mate.....and btw, all the euro's reading your comment will know you're that "kind of guy" that makes us lol thinking about the stereotypes and believing that a man who (from Europe) is actually a Governor of an American state. Hell, any Euro in here if they were allowed to be Governor of California, be worshiped by sheep because they're famous (no Arnold hate, big fan) and appear in lots of movies would be proud to be an 'American' too! Because what we feel and portray to a 'certain public' are two very different things. The old cliche was right though...'Only in America'....Just show me the money!
