In the USA (where Consumer Reports exists), we don’t have any French or Spanish brands. Italian brands are only exotics and couple near-luxury brands from Stellantis.

To a USAian, “European Brand” means something from Germany or Scandinavia. If you mean a Ferrari or Lamborghini, you say that name.

There's Fiat, an Italian brand that I think of as terribly downmarket. I think it's part of Stellantis and I think if you see Stellantis coming you're supposed to run, not walk away -- I guess Chrysler is still part of that, but Chrysler is also far worse than Ford and GM.

As for Ferrari and Lamborghini it doesn't matter what Consumer Reports thinks.

Fair enough but its a bit like saying American cities are very cold in winter, and by American cities I mean New York cos thats where most flights go.

Theres a lot more cities in the US and a lot more "European" cars than German/Swedish.
