I have talked a bit about how cars are a reflection of the habitat in which they live. Now, I will talk about how cars reflect the culture of the country/continent that they were made in. Here we go…

America

If one phrase could sum up American cars and American culture, it could be this “I want it cheap, I want a lot of it, and I want it now!” For example, the American food industry. Fast food restaurants are everywhere, where gigantic sodas and cheap but very filling burgers are made. Stores like Costco and Sam’s Club sell everyday products in massive packages. Same goes for their sports cars, which are pretty cheap, and have mountains of engine power that can be unleashed at almost any engine speed.

Japan

One thing’s for sure, Japan can make a lot from a little. They are a nation the size of the state of California, but has a population of about 120 million people. They didn’t become an economic superpower until after World War 2, yet they don’t have much natural resources. They have hotels where a room is about the size of a bed and their pop culture is celebrated the world over. Their cars are small and have small engines, but that doesn’t mean they have small performance. There’s the 2JZ engine, where with the help of turbocharging can make in excess of 1,000 horsepower from a 3 liter engine. You have the Honda S2000, which makes about the same horsepower as a comparable Mustang but with an engine that’s half the size.

Europe

Many of the finest items for sale come from Europe. Swiss chocolate, French cuisine and European luxury cars. Europe has long had an appreciation for the finer things in life, whatever they may be. Some British car makers spend countless hours and pounds to make one car, but that one car just may deserve the adoration it gets. Italian passion can be seen in Ferrari’s and Lamborghinis and German precision is showcased in it’s Porsche 911 GT3’s and Mercedes S class sedans. If you’re willing to pay the price, Europe may just be your first stop for the finest cars in the world.

Nice post. Also one thing about Japan how they always invent and make new things not really used. Japan is one if not the most technologically advanced countries. They always innovate.
