3 Exceptional European Automakers
When you think of exceptional cars that are built in Europe,
does your mind run strictly to cars made by Rolls Royce, BMW, or
Mercedes? Perhaps Jaguar and Lamborghini come to mind as well.
Each of these makes deserve all the accolades given to them.
Still, there are three makes that are, for various reasons,
exceptional. Let's take a look at Volvo, Volkswagen, and Audi,
the three makes featured in this article.
For a country of just nine million to produce one automaker
would be amazing enough. To lay claim to two automakers is
simply phenomenal. Both Volvo and Saab are from this particular
country which is Sweden. Now a part of Ford Motor Company, Volvo
has greatly influenced the automobile industry over the years.
Safety standards that had been universally low elsewhere are
much more appreciated with Volvo. Front end crumple zones,
reinforced roofs and specially designed interiors have all had
their origin with Volvo. Out of these high safety standards have
come a line of cars that are, indeed, some of the best built and
safest cars on the road. Fortunately, through Volvo's
leadership, many automakers around the world have incorporated
Volvo's high safety standard. This is what makes Volvo
exceptional in my eyes.
The company that brought to the world the first people's car,
the Beetle, is also exceptional. First designed in Germany
during the 1930s, the Beetle survived World War II and was one
of the most mass produced and loved cars in the world. From the
1950s forward the Beetle managed to make motorized
transportation available
to people who otherwise could not
afford a car. From college students in the US to migrant workers
in Mexico and from the gritty cities of Holland to the Irish
farmlands, the Beetle made owning a car affordable the majority
of the masses. Even after importation to the US ceased during
the 1970s, the Beetle was produced for another generation and
sold in Mexico.
Without drawing out the point too far, the term that best
describes Audi's quattro technology is "superior handling."
Perhaps that is an understatement but when Audi introduced
quattro all wheel drive the company threw the gauntlet down and
told the rest of the auto making world that quattro was the
standard by which all luxury sedans would be judged. Audi's
quattro technology has given the company such a huge advantage
over competitors that over the years it has been banned from
certain types of racing. Indeed, Audi's quattro technology
provides continuous traction long past when other road handling
schematics have reached their threshold.
So, there you have it. Three truly exceptional automobiles from
the European continent, exceptional in ways, perhaps, that
should be labeled as extraordinary.
