Why the FUCK is this allowed???

Different designs appeal to different culture's tastes, not to mention the changes in required safety, emission, and other features.
>>15130415
>that European unibrow
American version looks superior but I don't like vw's or European cars in general.
>>15130425
Except white america has the same tastes as white europe.
The real cultural taste difference come from vastly different cultures that are racial specific.
It's why Mexicans can't help but paint their cars two tone orange and black.
And why the Japanese can't make a car that doesn't look like something that would rape a school girl.

>>15130647
Must suck to live in a world where white taste design and work dominates with an attitude like that.
>>15130653
yeah, white people dominate here, which is why our presdient isn't black, murribubbler
This may just be a Massachusetts thing but every sixth gen Jetta I see always has a space-saver donut on one of the rear wheels.

Ours isn't black either, he's half white, "high yellow" so to speak.
>>15130666
>Satan talking sense as usual
>>15130664
leftism doesn't change the fact that you are a rapist either, ethan
>>15130415
Because vw wants to gain sales at the expense of making a good car. Americans don't want to pay 5k more for the better European version.
>>15130439
I tried to get mad at this post but that last line, shit man.
In usa it's a shitbox
In yurop it's a shitbox pretending to be an executive car
*claps for yurop*
>>15130744
>Passat
>ever considered anything but an A to B shitbox in Europe
Last time I checked it was americucks trying to pass off shitbox Jettas and Golfs as status symbols.
>>15130744
The funny part is in yurop it's Camry-tier, whereas they try to keep a somewhat "premium" image in the US.
>>15130758
/thread
The leather seats in the Passat B5 are pretty fucking awesome though.
>>15130758
No, they don't. VW fags are the worst. Hipsters and europe's version of mexicans. People who try to make diesel sports cars. Here vw is a teenage girl/ mexicans thing

It's marketed as a car for idiots. Poor idiots. We probably just have better optioned cars than the europoors.
>>15130647
>implying niggers would have better taste
Youre on the wrong site.
>>15130775
I doubt there's much of a difference between top spec models, Euro-market base models probably just start lower.
>>15130760
Huh? It's camry tier here to. Which isn't bad, but still.
>>15130415
If you think that's bad, look at Honda Accord from 2003-2012. The US market got a different car than the rest of the world, and both variants were sold with different nameplates in various markets.
>>15130415
They have to put the chrome plastic and audi headlight to justify the higher price, because yurp literally has pay more than the US for their own cars.
They also have to pay displacement tax Lol
>>15130851
>yurp is one country
It's a 1.2 liter kek
>>15130880
>what is the EU
Sure, it doesn't encompass all of yurop but most of the important states at least.
>>15130893
>every EU country has the same laws and taxes
>>15130893
>>what is the EU
somewhere with multiple different tax regimes
>>15130897
>>15130900
Different states in the US have vastly different laws and taxes as well.
>>15130880
Ok, name one yuroshit country that the passat is cheaper than US.
I'll wait.
>>15130897
>>15130900
slavs are not yurep
>>15130666
>the whitest
What's that supposed to mean? Given that it's German, it ought to be German. In Europe "white" isn't really a concept since we've got about eighty different flavors of white to argue about.
>putting Frenchmen and Germans in the same category
>not when either is in the same room with you m8, unless you like losing teeth
/pol/ and shit stuff aside, why would anyone buy a passat?
I have had VW hatches, but why would anyone go for anything more expensive and bigger than a golf?
>>15130908
good for you?
>>15130925
>old : assless cars are for fags
>romanian : is big so it must be good
>entrepreneur : I'm never going to pay for this anyway
>>15130925
>why would anyone go for anything more expensive and bigger than a golf?
Are you seriously asking this?
>>15130939
But old people wouldn't simply buy a jetta, or just a sedan from another brand?
They buy opels, and low trim german sedans here in germany.
>>15130947
You misunderstood, I didn't mean in general, just going up the ladder in the VW brand (not VWAG).
I guess the new pick up can be appealing, and the touareg makes sense in some markets, but the passat makes no sense when there are better options for sedans everywhere else.
>>15130415
Because an Audi costs the same in murka as that Passat in yurshit.
>>15130439
>Except white america has the same tastes as white europe
Not the least bit true

>>15131338
I do find it funny that here in 'murrica people think that ANY car with a BMW or Mercedes badge is an expensive "luxury car" when the lower-tier models from both of those makes were designed to be just every day commuter cars in Germany / yurop.
>>15131338
Mercedes in Yurop is used as taxi cab. Well built, reliable, not as expensive as US dealers would have you believe.
US dealerships worked hard to block grey market imports and use safety/emissions regulations to segment the market to protect their profit margins.
>>15130415
How does American people like the Scirocco?
>>15133118
I love how they look but fuck VW
>>15133150
Don't hate the player, hate the game. At least you got relatively cheap car market.
>>15130415
They both look like shit.
>>15130851
The USDM one is cheaply made Mexican made tho
>>15130760
It is a Camry... same price range if not a couple grand more . But that's okay since it actually carries itself well in the fun sense and great build quality.
>>15133118
Holy FUCK that thing is sexy
>doesn't exist in murka
why ;~;
>>15133118
Looks like a Golf only slightly longer. Why does it exist? Honest question.
>>15131454
>1990-2000s Mercedes

>>15134835
revival of their sportscoupe that went out of production in like 1992
and since its a low production vehicle they will discontinue this one too
>>15134835
Wider and lower.
Why does cars exist? There's a demand for it and the manufacturer delivers. Otherwise it wouldn't exist.
>>15134857
Corrado was the successor of Scirocco Mk2 that went out of production in 1995.
The facelift is quite fresh. They are updating it, that means that there is demand for it.
>>15130439
>Except white america has the same tastes as white europe.
just the usual brosifine retardation
>>15130659
Our black president lives in government subsidized housing.
>>15130775
What is the "asshole" car? Looks like a debadged merc
Do The same rules posted in the sticky to testing a transmission apply to automatics? Can you feel problems in the gears?
>>15130925
In Europe Passat is considered an executive car or generally shows that you're upper class citizen. It's the same audience that buy Superbs, or BMW/Merc with a 2l diesel in general. It's a sensible status car for non-car people that have a family and need an 1st gen Octavia, but more expensive.
>>15130415
Pedestrian safety regulations force American cars to have higher bonnets.
>>15133118
I kinda wish it came with a diesel option, please don't stone me, I like torque.
>>15130439
Meanwhile Ethan looks like a convicted rapist.
>>15135671
Well there is a 150hp and a 184hp TDI available.
>>15134857
>they will discontinue this one too
bullshit, I see fuccbois in Sciroccos all the time
>>15135655
the cars are exactly the same except for turn signal color.
>>15130647
>>15135739
Are you blind? There a ton of differences with the front end. The headlights are totally different shapes, both grilles are different, the actual lights themselves are different and there's a bunch of chrome trim on the European one.
>>15130439
you mean like that time you actually did rape your ex gf and got convicted
hnnng its so sexy
