Not just Merica. People prioritize flashing their status via a large, expensive impractical cars than the greater good everywhere. Large American SUVs are flying off the shelves in Europe.

Not in the part of Europe I'm in. I can't recall the last time I've seen an American car here in the streets of Vienna. Also: Don't large American SUVs consume a lot of petrol? Considering the gas prices I'd assume not many people can/want to afford them.

Vienna isn't representative for all of Europe. Not even for the rest of Austria. Go to the other more car centric cities and you'll see.

Can you name a single European city that is positively teeming with large American SUVs?

Don't change the meaning please. Obvious not teeming like in the US but the traditional European family station wagon is being replaced by large SUVs everywhere in Europe.

Quoting you:

> Large American SUVs are flying off the shelves in Europe.

If they were truly “flying off the shelves,” I’d expect the frequency to be so obvious that it would be unmistakable. So I’m asking you to support your claim with data or at least more detailed anecdotes. Which city? Which models?

The market share for American car brands remains relatively low, typically below 5% in Europe. Notable American manufacturers like Ford and Tesla have struggled to capture a substantial portion of the European market compared to their Asian and European counterparts

Ford has gone pretty much entirely native in Europe. though. Their line up for decades has been pretty indistinguishable from German or French carmakers.

Their European division was a bit similar to what GM/Opel had going.
