Bruce Springsteen’s car collection is dominated by American-made vehicles, with his only European model being a 2009 Range Rover L322 that doubles as a daily driver alongside Jeeps; the piece notes the Range Rover’s lineage (Ford/PAG ties) and engine options, and mentions an upgrade to Meridian audio in newer Range Rovers.

The Chevy Celebrity Eurosport VR was an attempt by Chevrolet to create a more engaging version of the otherwise unremarkable Chevy Celebrity. The Eurosport VR featured blacked-out chrome, red accent lines, and a 2.8-liter V6 engine, but its attempts to "Euro-ify" the car fell short. Despite its lackluster performance enhancements, the most notable aspect of the Eurosport VR was that it was available as a wagon, offering a unique combination of practicality and sportiness. However, only a small number of these vehicles were sold, making the Eurosport VR a rare and somewhat forgotten artifact of American automotive history.
While American automakers have produced some iconic classic cars, they have also made some poor investments. The 1980 Corvette 305 California, 1982 Camaro Iron Duke, 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, 1974 Pontiac GTO, and 1996 Ford Explorer are among the worst. These cars suffer from poor design, hideous styling, substandard build quality, and high maintenance expenses. The Ford Mustang II is also considered a poor investment due to its lack of power and uninspired design.
