I think the difference might lie in the income level in USA vs EU, but a middle class car in EU is about 25K-35K euros after all taxes.

- TylerE 10y agoAverage new car price (NOT including taxes and fees) in the US is $34,400. http://mediaroom.kbb.com/record-new-car-transaction-prices-reported-december-2015 http://mediaroom.kbb.com/record-new-car-transaction-prices-r...
- jbmorgado 10y agoYes, but what I meant is what do you consider middle segment for cars in the USA? In EU, a Volkswagen Golf for instance is middle segment, but perhaps in the USA is considered lower segment and therefore the difference.
- TylerE 10y agoWe buy way way way more luxury cars and suvs than you do. These are not considered vehicles for the wealthy either. Small cars do not really sell here. (For reference, I actually bought a new VW Golf R about 2 weeks ago... for roughly $41,000, just as a single data point).
- jayjay71 10y agoHow much do you like the Golf R? Is the 4WD worth the price increase over the GTI?
- TylerE 10y agoLove it. In my case, the price premium isn't really that much to even think of, as I would have been going with a fully loaded GTI, which would have sticked around $35k or so, so it's not even _that_ much of a price bump.
