last time i checked, Germany & the Czech Republic were also part of EUROPE. Why have SKODA & VW not been taken into consideration in your comment below? I have lived in America, India & Europe; driven each areas cars in their respective markets and without a doubt consider european cars to be of the highest quality in their respective segments. The Japanese no-doubt are the only ones who come close if not better their european counterparts in respect to engineering/quality/life/value of a car. As regards to your comment about the Ambassador, the ONLY reason HM & Maruti survived so far is because of India's closed economy & protective regulations for the first 40 years of Independance...NOTHING ELSE!

List of cars available in India:
European cars (top of Product line) : Renault Logan, Fiat Palio
American cars : Chevy U-VA/ SRV, Ford fiesta/fusion
Indian cars: Tata Indica Vista, Tata safari, Mahindra Scorpio Mhawk

So you would know from your experience that American cars that are available in India are much better and newer cars than the European cars offered in India.

Even the Hindustan Ambassador has some specific capabilities which no other car offers. i.e its the best suited car for Indian suburban roads considering its leaf spring suspension.
