Ian, it is the same thing in the USA, except that here everyone (eg, those in 
the small % who buy actual automobiles instead of trucks in various guises) 
wants a BMW, and an Alfa is not available.

But, the BMWs are about the same here as in Europe: competent, boring, and 
the seats are hard and tacky.
