that is a very vague question. If we are talking about supercars, European cars win there but if we are talking about muscle cars, Americans win there.

Answer:Comparing these two types of cars is fairly complicated for a number of reasons. European cars and American cars are not better than one another simply because they have their own negative and positive traits. Where as European vehicles tend to be higher in cost, American vehicles tend to be lower. Where as European cars tend to have higher quality, American vehicles, by opinion tend to be lower, but quality is debatable.

American vehicles appeal more towards a younger age group with Ford/Chevy/Dodge making somewhat cheaper cars which are sometimes referred to as "throw away" vehicles, which simply means the trade in value of these vehicles will be much lower on resale. European cars tend to appeal to an older age group and reflect this with the higher cost of the vehicle. As far as maintenance, European vehicles do tend to require a greater deal of costs by specialty and the fact that certain European automobiles are not serviced in all areas of the world. American cars tend to require less maintenance simply because of the simplicity of the engines and genericness of the parts which is also in turn lower in cost and more serviceable in larger areas.

As far as overall power goes, this is also debatable simply because American auto makes do make high powered muscle cars and even higher powered supercars, manufactured by Saleen, Ford, and Dodge, however European vehicles are known as being equal in power if not greater because of the larger number of manufacturers which cater to power over quantity. I could go on for hours about the overall differences in these two types of vehicles however there is simply no clear cut answer to which type of car is "better", they are simply better at each other in certain areas, but all together it is debatable.
