      If it weren’t for America, BMW and Mercedes wouldn’t be selling a single manual transmission vehicle anymore.

        What manual Mercedes is for sale in the USA? I’ve never seen one, that could be a whole lot of fun!

          Instead of laughing, perhaps you’d like to see how many manual transmission models are sold under those two brands in Europe. Now do the same for the US.

            It’s because only the rich in Europe buy new cars, buying a new car is a very rare thing.

            In addition to that BMW and Mercedes are known as luxury brands and by far not common in Europe.

              Totally made up claim, the average passenger car age is 12.2 years in the US, and 12 years in Europe. BMW market share is 2.4% in the U.S., 6.7% in Europe. Similar figures for Mercedes are 2.5% U.S. vs. 5% Europe.
