Has America made a really good car in the past 30 years?
Of course some of these are subjective assessments but I've yet to drive an American car I liked in terms of efficiency, handling, build quality, innovation and styling. Can you name a make/model that's superior to a European or Japanese equivalent?

2 AnswersNew South Wales (Sydney)1 decade agoWhy do Americans call it "horseback" riding, but other countries just "horse riding"?
Yes, we all know you ride on the horse's back - it's obvious. I'd like to know how the terms diverged historically, so if you know please share!
14 AnswersHorse Racing1 decade agoDoes the skin pattern in fake leather (leatherette) originally come from a real cow?
Did someone take an impression of real leather in order to emboss this into plastics, or is the texture created using some chemical method?
Here's an example of the texture I mean: http://www.automobiletrim.com/images/vinyls/heavy....
You sometimes see it in car dashboards etc, I assume to provide grip and reduce the appearance of marks.
I assume cows would have unique skin patterns, much like fingerprints. If real cow skin patterns are used, would that make the cow immortalised in texture form?
