You would be surprised, but everyone in Germany wants to get their hands on a Mustang. They are very rare over there and popular. But relatively sports cars cost a lot more over there than they do here. Driving is privilege not a right.
It costs nearly $1000 in Deutschland to get your license and you have to be 18. On the back of their licenses they have all these different vehicles that they need to be certified to drive. From a tractor to a 50cc scooter, every vehicle is on there. An additional certification if you drive a car or truck with a trailer. They drive little 100 hp diesel hatchbacks as daily drivers. We drive Yukons, Expeditions, Camrys.
The culture is very different. We are very lavish and waste energy while those in Germany are forced to conserve because their economy is not a good as ours. I wish we could move towards their type of thinking(I think we kinda or fwiw, SUV sales going down).
For the people complaining about us not getting cars over here. A lot of it is safety reasons and emissions. In Europe there are different greenhouse gases that they try and cut out such as CO2, where it is not as much of a concern to us.
