THe American game was definitely called "Touring" and featured GO cards, MPH cards and assorted breakdown cards such as "Flat Tire" and others. I loved playing it as a kid and the box had a greenish tone to it as well as the deck, although the printed side of the cards was black and white. I never heard of Mille Bornes til much later and my first thought (being American) was that they had copied our Touring game in Europe!
