How come other countries don't buy American cars? Like Europe doesn't
Here you go.
>>14701402
aren't they super expensive and huge compared to the average european car?
>>14701420
They're generally cheaper but yeah they're all way bigger than European cars.
But OP, they buy lots of American cars.

Those fords are designed and built by the European branch, specifically for Europe, just because it has a ford badge I wouldn't call it American
>>14701412
Is this real
>>14701402
Put simply, because other countries go nuts over carbon dioxide emissions.
The put taxes on engines larger than 2.0L in the name of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, despite the fact that cows farting produces more carbon dioxide than cars do. Americans don't like using small engines in general for a number of reasons, so American cars get taxed within an inch of their life in other countries. While at the same time, all the tiny diesel engined shitboxes the governments convinced their people to buy are slowly poisoning them with the rampant nox emissions from their Volkswagens.

>company based in America builds a car in america, but the car is not american
>>14701470
Yup. Emissions tax, a bunch of other bullshit and 21% VAT on top of it all.

The Fiesta and Focus are built in Mexico.
>>14701489
>mexico
>>14701402
Theyre too busy being culturally enriched to worry about FREEDOM
>>14701489
Only the Fiesta is. Focus is made in Michigan. Neither are made in Britain :^)
>>14701412
>the GT is 100k
holy shit
and apparently britain is buying a bunch of them, those crazy shits
>>14701541
It's not in every single country, should be a lot cheaper in the UK. Hell, I know it's under 50k in Germany, so many people buy and register their expensive cars across the border.
>>14701541
They're about $46,000 in the UK I think. Which is still a bit high but not nearly as much as some European countries.
The ones that post $80k+ screenshots are just cherrypicked from countries with stupidly high taxes.
>>14701541
britain's auto tax structure is very different to holland
We already have better quality cars being build here, American quality is terrible compared
>>14701471
That's not all, either. Taxes on fuel are also fucking insane compared to the US.
I'm talking prices up to €1.37/l here. Suddenly those 1.2l ecoboxes start to make a lot more sense, huh?
>>14701552
>>14701563
>>14701569
that's good then
but yes the latest mustang GT is selling pretty well overseas because it

>/o/ having a genuine mostly normal discussion about this instead of using the opportunity to shit on each other solely because of country of origin.
Here's another question: How in the hell did you ask a question like this and not get %99.99 shit-posting fest? maybe most of /o/ is asleep or maybe you just got extremely lucky..
either way its nice to have a decent convo about this without the fanboyism.
>>14701412
this
you pay 3x what the yanks do and still end up with a inferior product
ausfags just got the stang and its 60aud for the ecoboost
>>14701606
this is what we pay for the v8 version in auto
>>14701412
Is the American market simply more fair when it comes to selling cars built in other countries? (like the Porsche 911) that >>14701615
price is nearly the same as the price of a 911 Cerrara in the US holy hell.
It's the same reason why Americans don't buy a lot of Mercedes. In America Mercedes are expensive, but Chevy's are cheaper. In Europe a Chevy impala is like 60k.
excessive/unnecessary and high taxes
fuel is 3-4 times more expensive
higher insurance
tiny streets that were built hundreds of years ago
etc
>>14701654
now you know why we are so pissed off they took our Small Block Chev away and gave us a goddamn fwd opel
Holden/GM AUS got assraped
>>14701594
What's really fucking bizarre is that this is the start of Australian hours.
>>14701695
we are civilized blame those retarded normie /dat/ generals for the horseshit we contain all the retards there.
