I' sorry - you are right with 284 PS
I think so, that german cars can better accelerate than american cars. German doesen't like to cruise. The topspeed - also by smal cars - can be high. These cars are not made for crusing. They have got speed but no power. You have to drive them fast with a high level of engine displacement.
My Jaguar is one of the cars which you can drive fast at the motorway and you can cruise on countryside streets. To my regret the XJR is more made for driving fast than for cruising than the XJ 40. The chassis is like a great go-kart. It makes fun to drive on winding roads. That is the first jaguar - I have driven - who like this. The other didn't like driving into winding roads. They are made for driving straight ahead
.But I must admit - I haven't drive with more Speed than 210 km/h. I didn't know how fast my Jaguar is.
What is about the Citroen DS on the photo? I like the DS. The "Göttin" (goddes). And what is about the Citroen SM? It looks so nasty that I found him beautiful.
