I don't think it has much to do with quality of where the car is made. It is a completely different engineering philosophy between American and European. Traditionally, American cars are made to cruise while European cars are made to drive. One made by accountants and one made by engineers. The larger American cars are less suited to the European driver. Generally fuel consumption is important as is design efficiency. Automatic transmissions are rare as are 6 cyls.
