European cars vs American cars

Well, both cars in this photo are made in Asia, but they are both designed for a different market. People in the States ask me quite often how good European cars are. They heard stories about good mileage and reliability. Mostly true, but hey, some luxuryisn’t bad either and pricing is outrageous in Europe, especially for cars with a bigger engine or cars with a lot of accessories/optional packages. The Infiniti on this photo was just introduced to the Dutch market this month, going for ~90.000 euros (around $120,000) which is double the price in the States

New car: Infiniti FX 35

I bought a new car last week: the Infiniti FX35. Powered by a 3.5L v6 engine this car offer a good driving experience. Downside is the high gas consumption and I paid over 175 Euros for gas in the first 36 hours after I got the keys.

Anyway, I love this car. A lot of luxury inside, it’s fast, has a great look and it’s very safe. It is equipped with 10 airbags, 11 speakers, keyless entry and a great adaptive cruise control. Additional options are the 20″ wheels, all wheel drive, reverse camera, 7″ color video screen and sunroof.
