Ferrari. BMW. Mercedes. Rolls-Royce. Aston Martin. Alfa Romeo. Audi.
Every single one of those shits all over any American car company.
Volvo, Seat, Skoda (both VW), Fiat (Ferrari, Alfa, Arbarth, Dodge, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati) Lamborghini (VW), Bugatti, Bentley (VW too!), Porsche (also VW). Oh, also Jag/Landrover (owned by Tata Motors [Indian] and is now operating at a good profit after operating at a loss under the Ford, primarily because Ford didn't expand into Asian markets where Jags and Landrovers are now extremely popular). Oh, also forgot about Citroen and Renault, Renault especially make fucking excellent high powered upper end daily cars like the Megane Sport and old Clio RS 200. What a fucking car the latter was.
I find a lot of American cars are ugly as sin (not all though, several muscle cars are just orgasmic to look at). I had a conversation with a Canadian friend who had a Honda Civic years ago and the civic in the US just looks god awful in comparison to the UK version. EG:

Ok so the top is a Sedan and the bottom is the Type R hot hatch, but still, not comparable, even accounting for different strokes. As far as I know the type R isn't scheduled for a US release. And I do understand that US markets are vastly different to European ones (roads are longer, gas is cheaper etc), but still, from a purely design aesthetic...
EDIT: Forgot to add Aston Martin and Mclaren to the list. The P1 especially is a nice 'everyday' car (lol). The New AM DB10 looks the bollocks too.
