Exactly.....Italy has produced Ferraris.....still waiting for Mexico to do anything like that.....Tacos and Tequila are not equal.
Like all of Europe, Italy makes “great” cars - and crap cars. Never any regular middle-roaders for the “masses” including (true, not blue-collar) middle class.
Anyone who compares mehico to Italy lives in a box.
Or just doesn’t know the country and its history.
And probably still breeds with family :)
