Throughout the UK, particularly in the London regions, there is a plethora of American limousines to choose from. This not only includes the massive 4x4 limousines such as the H2 Hummer and H3 Hummer limos, Ford Excursion limousine, Jeep Expedition limo and Lincoln Navigator limo but also the contemporary white stretch Lincoln Town Car and Baby Bentley limousine. American limousines are well represented nationwide including limousine hire in the Manchester area.

The most popular of the American 4x4 limos has to be the massive Hummer H2 limousine. It is the biggest and most glamorous of them all. Available in a range of colours including pink, black, white, silver and even yellow as well as different styles such as the triple axle Hummer, their popularity knows no bounds. For the 8 seater limousines the Chrysler C300 Baby Bentley limousine has overtaken the stretched Lincoln Town Car as the most popular of its class. It is easy to see why; the Baby Bentley limo is full of amazing extras and with its Bentley looks the Lincoln Town Car was always going to struggle to compete. However the Lincoln Town Car limo is still way ...
... ahead of the Cadillac limousine which is very rare in the UK. The Ford Excursion and Navigator limos still have a place in the limousine industry as many are superb limousines. They are often rented if the price of the Hummer H2 limo is just too high for some people but to the untrained eye they are often mistaken for Hummers. For limousine operators they are a lot cheaper to run and more fuel efficient than the Hummer limos, so most limousine companies have a Jeep 4x4 limo or Lincoln Navigator limo as part of their fleet.

In the last couple of years there has been a surge of European limousines brought in to compete with the American limos. They include the BMW X5 limo, the Range Rover Vogue and Sport limousines, Porsche Cayenne limousine and the Audi Q7 limousine. They are not as big as the Hummer limousines but in the UK market they are likely to do well as they can be easily recognised. For the American 8 seater limousines there is only one competitor at the moment, the Ferrari limousine. However, the high price tag may put off a lot of people so for the moment the Lincoln Town Car and Baby Bentley limos are ahead in popularity.

It remains to be seen if the Porsche Cayenne limo, Audi Q7 limousine and the other European limos can become more popular than their American counterparts. It may just be that all will comfortably fill a niche in the limousine market so as not to compete with the American limousines at all. After all many of the European limos are smaller than the Jeep Excursion and Hummer limos typically seating up to 12 people compared to the 14 in the Navigator limousine and 16 in the Hummer limo. It will also be interesting to see which limo rolls off the production line next. Watch this space.
