I had the privelige about a week ago to spend a week in Hamburg, Germany.  While I was there checking out the beautiful scenery I was sure to get some pics of the local autos.  It was a refreshing change to see a completely different car culture.  I counted one pick up truck and only a handful of  SUV’s.  Instead I was surrounded by VW’s, Audi’s and Benz’s all in hatchback form.

A and B class cars were everywhere and I finally saw Smart cars parking head first into the curb taking full advantage of their short wheelbase.  The most exciting part was seeing brands that do not exist in the states.  Peugeot, Citroen and Seat to name a few.  These are great looking vehicles that would really cause a stir in the American carscape.  Even better is the European Ford lineup, better because it should be on the way over here along with Fiat.  These are more than welcome in my garage.  One Kuga please!

Europe was an great experience and I can not wait to get back!  Take a click and check out some pics of what the locals in Hamburg are driving.  Throw out a comment if you are from the area!

Last but not least, my rental car.  Could it have gotten any worse.  A double ended jelly bean named Picasso.  Always ask what you are getting before you take the keys….. lesson learned.
