Perhaps automobiles that worked fine.
Don’t try to play with me here. I am an American who has lived for the last 14 years in the EU. I know that some EU companies deliver good products and I also know that they sometimes deliver garbage. Ikea comes to mind. I’ve bought things there that were worth the money, and some things that were simply cheap. It is like that with many things in the EU.
I made the comment I did precisely because you amended the title of the article in order to make a broad brush indictment of U.S. corporations. The workers who oversaw the packing and storage of the product in question were employed in the UK. I might fault the parent company for QC standards, but how does anybody know whether it was the fault of weak standards or simply from the shoddy workmanship of the UK employee?

- Hey, does it sound like I’m trying to be serious??
Has it ever struck you that we Europeans like to make fun of Americans just because we actually love you?
By the way, it seems people in my country, Sweden, are becoming more and more keen on American cars.
Personally, I think The US makes a lot of awesome, hot cars. For instance, Just look at Dodge. The Viper has been admired for a long time over here in Europe and presently, there are a lot of Dodge commercials being shown on Swedish TV. Personally, I think the Nitro seems like a very nice car, but I still prefer Volvo.
