I am sure you and your husband look cool

Those look so silly.

Yes, so silly that it’s basic design has stood the test of time for over 75 years. What did your Audi do to overthrow fascism and keep the world safe for democracy?

If it was not for Jeep in WWII which was superior to the German 4x4s that were more complicated to fix and got stuck in mud more often we all be speaking German.

Guess what nothing has changed

We have a Jeep Wrangler and a Japanese "SUV". We cross shopped German, British and Swedish and one god awful Italian one. Guess which one the kids are begging to have for theirs. No one is excited for better gas mileage or more cupholders. But, drop the top and take the doors off and everyone is begging for a ride.

Teen in a convertible Wrangler is a recipe for disaster

Yup - but he'll be a shoo in for Sig Ep and be well on his way to being a tool for the rest of his life just like his father.

I'd rather ride my bike than drive, so... I'm cheap, efficient, and low maintenance?

Unlikely. USSR would have occupied/freed all of Europe, heck it was well on the way to do so. U.S. would retreat and speak English still as Germany would be defeated anyway. Europe, however, might have ended up speaking Russian.

Even the former Soviet Union states don't speak Russian. Western European countries have their own language and culture very different from Russian. They would've been like oil and water. See tiny Baltics. You'll get beat up for speaking Russian.
Anyhow, OP, the car may grow on you. Took me 7 months to learn to love Honda. What a crap car to drive even after having driven another Jap.

You are talking about now, I was talking if US didn't participate in WWII in Europe.

When did somebody ever speak Russian there? Not under Russian Empire (German was the first foreign language) and not during Soviet Union. No need to talk about "might have happened "since it did happen in some part of Europe. What didn't happen, was the language. The language happened only to those who didn't have a written language of their own. Even other Slavs to whom Russia did happen, can barely speak Russian. See Melania.

I love my Honda Fit! But it is definitely not cool!

It gives me great joy to drive an affordable car w/o a huge car payment to pay for.

My first car was a reliable Toyota Tercel which I paid off and drove until the wheels nearly fell off. My next car was a Toyota Corolla which we drove into the ground.

I loved loved loved my Jeep Wrangler. So fun to drive. But it did take too much gas!

I empathize. I travel a lot for work and so I'm stuck with boring mid-range fleet rental cars Mon-Thurs. If I had to get into a similar caliber car Fri-Sun when I'm home with kids I'd be slightly depressed. I'm NOT a flashy person, but enjoy driving a handsome and comfortable car.

And we only won the Japanese war because of the atom bomb; their cars were that good.
