There's a lot of small british companies which only makes sports cars. TVR for example. Generally the only thing cars like the mustang and corvette have going for them is more power for the money. Handling-wise they can't compete *at all* with british, or other european, sports cars. Build quality isn't exactly stunning either.

As for Pick-up trucks no sane person would buy one here in Europe unless they need it for transporting stuff. For some reason having a big heavy gas-guzzling vehicule which can only seat 2-3 persons and handles like crap, doesn't appeal to people in Europe. Actually the whole concept of a "sporty" pick-up(IE F150 Lightning) is a self-contradiction in terms...

Sorry for the rant...
