You could also say foreign governments are putting american car companies out of business by CHARGING tariffs, couldn't you?
You seem to know alot about international differences in car pricing - your post was interesting reading.
I have heard people say stuff like "BMW's are like chevy's in Europe/Germany"
AKA - even the cops drive them, they are not viewed as a 'status symbol' or priced prohibitively expensive. Basically, arguing that americans are being scammed into believing that BMW's are special (and paying out the a$$ for them), when really they are nothing.
I obviously found this impossible to believe for obvious reasons, and posts such as yours paint a much different picture.
It seems more like the price in Europe/UK would mean that BMW's are much more exclusive there than they are in the US, where they can be had for half price.
More clarification appreciated.
