Anyway FYI, there is no such thing as "conti cars". Someone just created it and it was continued to be used till now. It comes from the word continental Europe as Europe is a continent. Its weird because cars made in UK is called british cars but cars made in Germany is called conti cars. But both UK and Germany are in Europe. |

That's the idea. the UK is basically an island off Europe and so is Japan.Its weird because cars made in UK is called british cars but cars made in Germany is called conti cars. But both UK and Germany are in Europe. Cars from China or India should be also called continental Asia but Aisa is a big continent unlike Europe. |

Probably a UK parlance, in distinguishing themselves as an island nation, separate from continental Europe. And in their daily or common context, "the continent" refers to the European continent instead of any other part of the world, such as "Continental Breakfast". We just adopt the convention.

makes sense. we are all living in different continents.
different continents produce different brand. and yet only EU cars are called conti. it should be like EU conti. ASIA conti. aprika conti |

QUOTE(msacras @ Sep 13 2021, 07:11 AM) Was referring to the above person saying that since germany is in europe continent, thats why they are called conti. So since Honda is from Japan which is on Asia Continent, it should be called conti as well right? So as i said, there is no such thing as conti cars.This post has been edited by sexysarah1992: Sep 13 2021, 08:28 AM |
