Dude, Germany sells their cars to RICH people! Get it? They cost a ton more than what many could afford for a damn car. So add it up, they sell twice as many for twice the damn cost. Where's the mystery here?
Not really until you add the shipping, fed tax, state taxes and all of that other stuff to the price of the car. Why do you think servicemen come back with nice exports at a cheaper cost?
We never had an A/C, but summers are getting more brutal in Europe, too.
Having said that, people today are such sissies, why does anyone need an A/C just because temps are in the 90s?!
I will never get an A/C because of heat.
And regarding heating, German homes are pretty comfortable, they all have central heating and good insulation.
An A/C is not an indicator of comfort and wealth. Many people in the US use the A/C to create ridiculously low temperatures. So, it's 90° outside, but inside buildings it feels like being in a fridge. I never understood that, what a waste of energy.
Yep, its gross. Go out to dinner on an absolutly georgous night , and ya have to bring a jacket for when ya go inside. So friggen cold that if it was winter I would put the heat on at that temp.
Well for one, there seems to be a lot of lame excuses floating around for why we can't manufacture right here and keep Americans employed and outsource and offshore only as needed.

Maybe because Americans don't have much of economic patriotism?
Ha Ha. Yeah like Hyundai is a quality brand Quality and China don't really go hand in hand.
Hyundai is improving fast, they are very successful in countries such as Brazil...
