was going to point that out too. wtf is “latin europe”? italy and spain? france is gallic/celtic and not too closely connected to latin sexcept for some borrowed words from rome during roman conquest of gaul, like japs borrowed from chinks. for sexample, door is “porte” (porta in italiano). if any moron tells the french they are latinos, they will be so insulted that they will decapitate the moron with a guillotine.
Yup, if you go up to a French person and say he is from a latin part of europe, he will go full jihad on you. The poster is a moron.
even if italy is the origin of the latin commonwealth, i would still buy an italian automobile. any red alfa romeo has been my dream automobile ever since i visited the old arese hq. it was the quintessential automobile brand for decades before other auto brands came along. if i can drive one for fun and show before my demise, i'll be contented. can't wait to take the brand new 2021 tonale for a spin on highway 1 to san luis obispo when they finally deliver it to the nearest dealership.

French are Germanic franks. Just and English are Anglo Saxon and England is angleland.

You must be daft when you say oil under your feet is not god given. And given to most muslims too.
it’s now confined to spain and portugal as french and italians prefer to regard themselves as “western europeans” and romanians “eastern europeans”. anything associated with “latinx” is now a downgrade due to negative connotations in north america. even spain and spaniards don’t associate with “latinos” in the new world, including chile and argentina. ask a chilean or argentinian if they are “latinos” and they will instantly reply they are “spanish” or mix of italian and spanish. they identify themselves with spain and western europe more than the latinx community.
within france and italy, there are divisions and differentation of regions, ancestries and cultures. for example, the french in alsace are more aligned with germany as there’s mixed ancestries in the “buffer” areas. and then there’s the “pure” gallic/celtic ethnicity of an enclave that resisted the romans for thousands of years. their descendants are proud of their “pure” and unique cultural history. the south and southwest in marseilles and toulouse had been invaded several times and settled by moors from north africa and are regarded as “impure”. the west and northwest were occupied by english kings for centuries and is regarded as more of an anglo-french mix. the north were conquered and settled by vikings and is regarded as more nordic. and french have never been proud of their roman yoke, and they now look down on italians as “lower” folks. in italy, i can write a book on the differences among her diversity of regions and cities. i’ve spent considerable time in spain and portugal too, thus can also write books on them. but for sure, italian automobiles at one time were the envy of the world. for maselati, lambo, and fellali, they still are at the apex of car hobbyists and collectors. whether they are reliable or robust workhorses that’s a different matter altogether.
