European cars are popular in America

Why do euros spout this retarded logic constantly?

not popular in asia too

I often see Ford and Tesla in Sweden

What's the percentage of foreign cars in Japan?
In Italy I would say that out of 10 random cars at least 6/7 are foreign (and a couple are Japanese)

I have a grorious Nippon carru, folded over 1000 times, superior to your baka gaijin

Swiss love american cars because american manufacturers are the last on earth that produce big, loud and powerful cars that are meant to be fun, while everyone else long ago switched to economy shitboxes because "muh environment".
The only reason you're not seeing much american cars around here is because they're awfully expensive (taxes and fuel consumption).
You still pay 15-20k for some shitty, 12 year old Dodge Ram here. Also the size of american cars makes them pretty impractical on narrow swiss roads, we are also a country that's fully oriented towards pedestrians, bikes and public transport, that means you don't get many parking spaces in lots of cities and the spaces themselves are designed for small european cuck boxes

i did quick research and it was 6%

I assume the foreign ones are mostly luxury cars right?

yes
bentz, porsche, ferrari, and so on

Because... it is true?
Ford Europe engineers and builds most of their cars in Europe, specialized for the European markets. By far the most they sell here is compact cars which would not sell in the US at all.
>pic related is the product page from Ford.de
(obviously it goes on, you CAN get an Mustang for example, but they sell way, way more Fiestas, Focus and Mondeos)

It's like Europe and American are different markets and buy different things!

i would agree if tesla wasn't literally threatening the entire german auto industry

Last I checked Fords and Fiats sell well in Europe.

American cars are popular in the american continent but so are european and japanese one

Fiat is an italian manufacturer lmao

i have spent a lot of time on various usa based car enthusiast forums, and its a suprising amount of seething and envy over european cars. if i want to i can import used or even order brand new from the local ford dealer, any usa ford without restrictions. it doesnt work that way for americans, they have to buy what their dealer offers them. they even put 25% import tax on trucks to protect their own production

Only the smaller cars are. The Mondeo is just the US market Fusion but with diesel options insted of V6 options. Both are derivatives of the US developed Lincoln MKZ. The Fiesta and Focus are European and not sold in the US anymore. The Mustang is American. The front drive Transit is European and the rear drive version is American. The Ranger was developed by Ford of Australia. The Edge and Explorer are both American. All the newer generation tiny Fords were developed by Ford China, Ford India or Ford of Latin America.

>Ford Ecosport is Indian
>Mustang and Mustang Mach-E are American
>Mondeo is literally just an American Fusion with lame diesel engines and no performance version

Nobody has enough money to buy fuel for v8

it's pretty common knowledge. just google "volvo tesla" "daimler tesla" etc. their ceos are practically in a panic over becoming obsolete in five years because of electrification

Well, technically it isnt no more
The company is divided between Luxemburg England and Holland iirc just to spend less taxes
They still have factories here but they produce less and less every year
Its fucked up

FCA, is now run by Americans and they're planning on shoving big RWD electriv vehicles and trucks down your Europussy over the next few years.

Well, it certainly isn't american like burgeranon was saying.

god, i want european cars here.
we only get american and jap shit.

>Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., often abbreviated as FCA, is an Italian-American multinational corporation and is the world's eighth largest auto maker.[5] The group was established in October 2014 by merging Fiat and Chrysler into a new holding company. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' corporate headquarters is domiciled in Amsterdam, and the financial headquarters are in London, both for tax purposes

that doesn't make it automatically American lol

>fiat buys chrysler
>fiat is now american

>>American cars are not popular in Europe
>Fords are a dime a dozen

Volkswagen surely has you guys on their list, you have a large population.

Exactly
Its just American cope, like always

Yeah, it's the only somewhat relevant american brand over here and they have a market share of 5%. So as I said, pretty much exclusively european and japanese.

lol isn’t there an entire culture in Scandinavia dedicated to American cars

Japs are relatively cheap and reliable

according to your chart there's more fords than toyota, hyundai (korean), and nissan combined. why say such a dumbshit statement when your proofs contradict it

It literally was taken over by it's American executives Manley and Elkann after Marchionne died last year. RAM and Jeep are their two most profitable brands by a large margin and they're focusing most of their investment and long term plans on those two brands sacrificing Alfa, Lancia and Maserati in the profit. They're looking at killing off the Fiat brand in the US soon too. Maybe know something about the automotive industry before commenting on it instead of just copypasting the first paragraph from Wikipedia.

true but whats so lol about that?

Same here in Germany but it's not a common thing. It's a small group of ethusiasts that are mainly into older muscle cars.

korean and chinese cars are the king on budget tier
americans and jap are on the same mid tier
while european ones are 2x more expensive

Elkann is Italian, Manley is British
Their strategy is to have different brand for different continents
So they're investing a lot on Jeep and Ram in America, but they aren't leaving Fiat behind in Europe (and especially in South America, where Fiat is popular for some reason)
They did sacrifice lancia (a notorious Italian brand famous in the 80s) but their strategy is to make luxury cars with alfa and Maserati
Maybe YOU learn something before shitposting here

It's a bullshit law that Mercedes lobbied as Americans would import cars from Europe as they were cheaper and better than the ones available in America.

>Eurofaggots need a commercial permit to drive a truck

Attached: rllngcl.jpg (355x471, 24.91K)

there is no such thing as a commercial permit. eu driving license go purely by max weight or passengers. below 3500kg car/light truck, 3500 to 7500 medium truck, above 7500 heavy truck. because of this there are companies that specialise in importing trucks, giving them a new title, vin, everything and then resell them with a 3499kg max weight. i think thats fucking stupid and ruin the truck, i just got the medium truck license instead.

You used to be able to import cheaper BMWs and Mercedes from Europe before the 90s. Mercedes here used to be about 40% more expensive than they were in Europe, so people here used to purchase them in Europe then import them, so Mercedes-Benz US petitioned the US government to make private imports illegal under the false pretense that foreign cars didn't meet US safety standards. MBZ and BMW for a long time consequently only offered their highest trim levels of any model to "justify" their extravagant pricetags. You could not even buy a BMW or Mercedes with a 4 cylinder engine until the last few years. Because of this American boomers typically just think every BMW or Mercedes is a luxury car. Nevermind that they use Mercedes as trashtrucks in Europe or military trucks in Mexico. Eventually the Germans lowered their prices and begin to offer their lower trim levels and smaller engines to compete with more affordable Asian luxury brands anyways so it was all for nothing.
