This is why I refuse to buy German cars (Mercedes, Audi, VW, BMW). They're racist idiots. They keep telling me I can't have the models that I want, because Americans don't want those things. It couldn't be their inept-non-marketing efforts, or that the dealers used the hatches as bait and switch vehicles. No, it's all that Americans don't want hot-hatches.
So because of that, and that they're overpriced, oil leaking and have problems with electrical, are why I sold my BMW and probably won't be buying a German car soon.

I'm sorry, "racist"? American isn't a race.

Fair enough RBW. Thanks for the correction/clarification. Technically, race is artificial designation anyways. So the way racism is usually used is culturalist, and that's how I meant it.

I have to agree with you though.
I owned a corrado, a reader-ride of the day here nonetheless. If these hatches didn't have a 50% premium over your dime a dozen focus or corolla, the automakers would find there is a market for these cars in the U.S.
