Here's my comment.

Dollar for dollar, you will be very hard pressed to find better cruisemobiles
than mid to full sized american cars. Of course, cruising as in 65 mph
on arrow straight (or close) highways. Of all automotive nationalities,
I contend that average american cars do a better job of insulating occupant
from environment. In fact, often this trait is driven (no pun) to 
extremes, so that sometimes ride is too soft and billowy. 
If I had to drive from NYC to LA, I would try to do it in a medium sized
american car, if I intend to use interstates.

Apart from this little rambling, I must fully agree with you (must? I want 
to).
Another point to mull over...Italian styling, especially for small cars,
is possibly the best in the world.
