I've been in Europe since early December. There are a ton of cars here, and very few of them are flashy. Small, practical cars everywhere. Very popular models: Citrooen C3, Skoda Fabia, VW Polo, Renault Cool, Opel/Vauxhall Corsa, Honda Jazz, Seat Ibiza, Ford Fiesta, etc. In the USA we have companies like Ford saying they are going to stop making cars for the USA market. It wouldn't surprise me to here a European company say they'd only make a small range of practical cars. One big reason is a lot of the roads are too darn small for anything big & their isn't as much money sloshing around here. Smaller is how they roll (pun intended) here.
