Well, I won't buy am american car (maybe a smaller ford, but not the typical US car) because where I live you won't bring them into most parking lots, and for sure not in parking building. Especially in cities many of them are narrow even with typical EU cars.
- CPLX 2y agoYou have cause and effect backwards. Cars aren’t some static thing that you grow on trees and sell, where like American trees grow bigger cars. The question you should be asking is why American manufacturers don’t target the EU market more aggressively and make cars that fit the formats Europeans buy. It’s not the only reason but an absolutely crucial factor is that EU states protect their domestic auto industry via tariffs and industrial policies/subsidies.
