Re: What's so special about European cars?
Originally I think it first was because there were no real sportcars made in the US before the Corvette entered the market.
Secondly the European cars in general and the sportcars in particular had better handling making them more fun to drive. They also had an aurora of exclusivity.
American cars were designed to understeer for safety reasons were as European were designed with oversteer in mind.
Today is a different thing...
