Not to turn this into a political discussion, but next time we need to fly over French airspace, it might be a good idea to let us. Personally, I am 3/4 French and was never so embarrased in my life to be so.
No, we are not at war. At least Americans don't consider us to be. Notice last summer when the Concorde (A British/French contraption) blew up, Americans were the first to lend a hand to fly FAA investigators there to help in the investigation.
Wars occur when people cannot resolve differences and have to resort to combat to settle them. People die unecessarily to defend a piece of dirt or political/religious beliefs.
Of course there is no war between the US and France. However, we were trying to defend freedom and peace. Something we have done for over a century. Something we helped France acheive and retain in the last 2 world wars. The least France could do is let us fly over their airspace to continue to defend the free world.
Jeez, I wish I were older in the 60's!!!!!

Awesome design and looks much better in person...
Saw alot of them in Paris last summer
Too bad they don't bring them here to the US, or any French car for that matter, are we at war or something? (US and France)?
what do you guys think about this car ? I love the style, it reminds me of the 8 series. The car is cheap and has 2 engine choice : 2.0l 4 cyl. around 136HP, and a 3.0l V6 with 190HP.
I like the style, I haven't seen the inside, but I assume not as good as a BMW !
