BBC News: Why don't Europeans buy more American cars? - BBC News

tl;dr - they're a bit shit, they're not economical, and they're too big to drive on smaller European city streets and lanes.

@xtaldave one of these behemoths pulled up next to me the other week. I turned to say something to my dad, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and noticed his head was below the bonnet of that thing.
Yes, that's right - the top of the bonnet was higher than a full grown man sitting on a normal car.
I feel safer going round a roundabout next to an HGV than one of these monstrosities (at least the HGV driver knows there's other vehicles around them).

@Ebly @xtaldave yes you need extra lessons to drive an hgv .
