Why do I live in the US? where I can't get the Merc B-Klasse and now, potentially the A3 hatch. ![Bang Head :banghead:](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/banghead.gif)
(And 99% of people use the wrong units of measure, and look at me funny when I use a 1$ coin)
Way off topic, but since you just reminded me...
When did Americans start to use and be comfortable with metric engine displacements? Why does nobody seem to care that their beloved Chevy 305, 350 and 454 are now 5.0, 5.7 and 8.1?
I would have thought there'd be a fuss, but they seem perfectly okay with it. Same with all the new 1.6, 2.0 and 2.5 engines. Does anyone even have a clue what those are in cubic inches anymore?
