In reply to the discussion: After 50 years, Cubans hope to travel freely [View all]dipsydoodle
(42,239 posts)I noticed this time ,as opposed to 18 months ago when I was last there , the sheer number of newish European cars floating around there now. That's aside from a huge number of newish S. Korean ones with Nissan engines which could also be Renault associated with the Renault/Nissan joint venture. No American parts so unaffected by the embargo. Small Euro efficient diesel engines suit there very well anyway.
Some great deals now there too using private taxis, owners of the pre-1959 Yanks, for whole day out trips to Havana etc. We guessed they may have undercharged to be nice , so what new there , and so tipped well to compensate. I was in Jibacoa about an hours drive from Havana.
btw - you missed something off your list. By and large Cubans have no good words to say about the USA. Mind you - neither have all the Canadians there.
