Why don't we have more members from across the pond?

I drove a Volvo V70 Geartronic for a while.
This is an AT with manual stick like in the CL's but it broke even faster...
Within 3000 miles I was on the second tranny.

Because the Acura is not sold in Europe and the only 6 cylinders sold by Honda are the overprices US Accord Coupe which was introduced two years after the former model went out, letting a lot of potential customers run to other brands because there was no replacement.
The models itself is over 2 years old and knowing Honda it will only run for another 1,5 years which makes this model obsolete.
Somehow Honda thinks Europeans are than dumb.
The other 6 is the Legend and, while a very nice and good car, it doesn't make a change against BMW, Merc, Audi and Lexus.
Up to '97 I drove Honda's and the Last one was the US model Accord Coupe 2.2 but this car was very underpowered for it's pricetag.
Even then there was a lot of demand for a 5 or 6 cylinder with higher torque but Honda was ignorant and arrogant thinking their Accord could compete with a 5 series beamer (!).
After '98 these sales went down very fast.
The CL would be a nice car for Europe.
