Next topic - Talking about GM over in Europe, a corvette over there is like a 911 TT over here. Over in Europe Caddy's are the big pimpin' cars to some while a BMW is like a Chevy Malibu. They get over 100K USD for a damn base model Vette over there - and there is a long waiting list from my understanding.
The grass is always greener on the other side.

Caddy's are hardly big pimpin cars over here (I'm in Sweden). They are a rare sight, and caddy has awful sales figures. I haven't even seen a CTS or an Escalade in real life.
BMW's are pretty common in upscale areas, but they are by no means a common working man's car.
Comparing a vette to a 911 doesn't hold either, vettes and camaros are a lot more common than porsches here, and they are mostly regarded as cheaper sports cars.
The european market's needs differ from North America greatly. Since gasoline is more expensive, smaller more fuel-efficient cars are favored, and that is why most of the american cars that DO sell well are the more compact ones (ford focus, mondeo etc.) They don't even bother to take cars like the Crown Vic overseas.
