I think the difference is that the actual price is lower in the US, so regular people can buy them for less money, not only business owners that might need one.Same in the UK is it not?

Car tribes and stereotypes are funny things. I don’t take on a completely different personality when I swap cars and have a foot in a couple of conflicting camps with a GT, M3 and a 911. My 911 and M3 are mostly invisible compared to the GT which gets a lot of positive feedback but I’ve been driving 911s for 15 years without getting a lot of the opposite either (although it has happened). Probably important to drive considerately in any higher value and or performance car to minimise the risks!I used to have a BMW M3, followed by an Audi S4; so I'm probably up for most unpopular member on here.
However; there was a noticeable type of driver who inhabited BMWs, then they appeared to move on to Audis, and I thought they were knobs too.
Just don't tar me with the same brush.
Masers are also the only cars I’ve seen get thumbs up from cyclists too.

That's what every Motorcyclist believes too. Makes you better at anticipating and concentrating on likely murderers or dangerous situations.Twenty or thirty years ago, I saw a Cumbria Police Head of Traffic Branch on television discussing defensive driving.
Might've been on Top Gear pre Clarkson. He ended the package by describing his own driving style and said,
"I drive, assuming that every other driver on the road is a homicidal maniac, intent on killing me."
That's what my instructor said at biker school. Assume they're all trying to kill you.That's what every Motorcyclist believes too. Makes you better at anticipating and concentrating on likely murderers or dangerous situations.
Not sure about this. There are a lot of bikers riding like they have a party to get to in Derbyshire. Overtaking on blind corners and the like. Signs up everywhere ‘Think Bike’.That's what every Motorcyclist believes too. Makes you better at anticipating and concentrating on likely murderers or dangerous situations.
If everyone slowed down by 10% or 20% and left a few car lengths between them and the car in front, I believe we'd see an immediate drop in accident statistics.
The same is for hills.Totally agree. In addition to these changes and benefits, if people didn’t speed up towards red traffic lights and instead slowed down with a greater chance the lights would turn green by the time they approached them, I believe this would be an extremely low cost way of dramatically reducing CO2 and emissions. When I try to do this, drivers of previously mentioned marques will instead furiously overtake you, only to be at a standstill as you pass them with the light just turned green.
That's just you.That's what my instructor said at biker school. Assume they're all trying to kill you.
Smart instructor, as it turned out. How he knew my ex-wife had co-opted so many people I'll never know.That
That's just you.
