Are you sure about that? I know someone that drives a 2003 CR-V not because he wants to, but because he got it for free and can't afford to get a new or used car.
It's so weird how there's this stereotype about French people hating Americans when people seem to have forgotten that Republicans once hated the French so much (for daring to not join America in a war) that they changed 'French fries' to 'freedom fries' for a while. And then there's the bullshit "France always surrenders" meme that so many Americans believe. The French military is fucking fierce.
In my experience, it's Americans who hate the French a lot more than French people hating Americans.
You're not wrong, I'd say your average French that didn't travel much and works for French companies basically doesn't care about Americans at all. It's when you actually go there or work for American companies that you start radicalising...
