We are a minority, so if we want better we have to either "pay to play" or "roll our own"

Seriously - there's nothing wrong with our cars (well, okay a few are underbraked for Autobahn-type driving) but with upgraded brakes my 4-banger Fusion feels solid, well controlled, unstressed and safe at 190 kph.
It's all about the drivers and a gov't mentality that continues to pander the lowest common denominator. Driver's here won't start to get better until the requirements for licensing force the change - and that's not likely to happen in my life time - or any of yours for that matter.
