I think the bottom line comes down to this...we are just stupid here in NA and continue to buy high priced gas. In Portugal how many dodge durangos did you see? How many Chevy montana vans did you see? People in Europe want 2 things - Reliability and fuel economy. Thats why usually they have smaller vehicles, to get to point A to point B cheap.
I went over to Spain and drove the Opel Astra, when I got back I wanted to purchase one here and just my luck Saturn was coming out with the Astra under the Saturn name. I actually ended up purchasing the vehicle...only problem was 1) had the 1.8 l engine that was barley used in Europe, I drove the diesel version and the VXR version while i was there which both were totally different feels.
Anyhoo my car got T-boned and after it I went to the BMW.
