Why are German cars popular in Europe instead of British or French cars?
>>
We tought they were eco-friendlier than other gasoline cars.

Oh boy were we wrong.
>>
Because French cars suck.
Brits can make some good cars, though, but lately it has been shit with few exceptions.
>>
It's what Germans do, they make cars

Germany has had a hard on for vehicles ever since they mechanized everything in the 1930's

How does this make foreigners feel?

Yes we did, because cars that are eco friendly dont get taxed as much.

Pretty good here in the Netherlands.

We know that feel

Load of french cars in europe actually the biggest french car market is europe
>>
French cars remind me of those lead-lined curved appliances they used to make in the 50s.
British cars are shilled on Top Gear but spend 90% of their time at the mechanic.
>>
>>59097651
>>59097591
He should add to this that Dutch car tax is fucking retarded and that some cars can cost double than in Belgium if they are semi-bad for the enviroment.
>>
>>59097436
Because they are nicer? Renaults and Peugots are terrible. Not sure what British cars you mean other than Jaguar which is a shitty luxury brand that no-one cares about.

>>59097613
Same here.
>>
>>59097700
Yes, but if it doesnt polute as much the taxation on buying it is lower and your company is allowed to subsidise it

French and Italian cars have a reputation for being crap in constant need of servicing.
British cars? Dunno, we think that they all have steering wheel on the right so we don't want to spend money on changing that? Too few brands?

You do realize the commercial versions share nothing with the consumer versions? A taxi Ford Fusion would cost the same.

The stereotype is that people with French cars cant drive.
Italian cars break down.
American cars are unsafe and use too much gasoline.
German cars are good quality.
There are British cars?
>>
>>59098808
Swedish cars are also considered good quality. But not as cool as German cars. Swedish cars are to hide your power level.
>>
>>59098808
>There are British cars?
Land Rover
Aston Martin
Jaguar
BAC
Atom

>>59098865
Japanese cars are unsafe, bad quality and/or energy friendly.

I drive a toyota auris.
BMWs are pretty common among Albanians, they usually buy these 90s models. if it's newer then it's stolen.
>>
>>59098903
It was a retorical question. Nobody buys British cars.
>>
French cars suck.
British cars are good but they only serve the high-luxury class.
>>
>>59098865
This about sums it up pretty much. Also our cars are considered safe i've heard. However we do have one cool car brand! Koenigsegg, they make luxury sports cars. They've also announced this GOAT ass bike

Land Rover has been killing it in the past decade. Up there with Merc and BMW SUVs.

I hope Jaguar can start to compete with BMW and Audi soon. They've got a few nice-looking models out at the moment.

No, we have to pay taxes if we import it, and if you live in the netherlands you need to have a dutch licence plate.

In my area the average taxi is a Ford Mondeo estate, but E-Classes aren't uncommon as taxis

The more expensive taxi company that does airport transfers and jobs for the big companies all use E-Classes and the Mercedes vans

He's talking about the Model S. They're used in the Netherlands as well around Schiphol Airport.

Taxis in Europe are only used by businessmen and dumb American tourists who get scammed.

Regular people use public transportation.
