Really? That's cool. They don't really do that in Germany. But they are germans, you know. But I have seen many times that pople were staring at the car. That was a bit strange. However 2 little kids (brothers I think) told me once when I was waiting in the car that I have a "Cool" car! That was cute. I think this car is just has too "extreme" looks for the Germans. I mean 80% of all cars here are VW, Audi, BMW or Mercedes.Same here in Italy, i've probably seen three Civic Polished gray hatch in two and an half year (out of 10/12 Civics encountered). Good things is that people is very curious about this car and other owners greet you like motorcyclists do.
I actually wanted a grey one, but this white one I have was a better deal, the dealer couldnt sell it, then the dealership used it for 2-3 months. I think nobody wanted to buy a white civic here.Sedans - literally every color especially black and white
Coupes - rarely but if I do it’s usually a white si
Hatches - surprisingly I see SGP a lot in my area, plenty of white/grey hatches. I hardly see lunar silver though (my color)... maybe bc people here think it’s boring?
Question, are American/Japanese brands prevalent in Europe?
It depends on the country. Here in Germany you can mostly see german cars and maybe Ford (European Ford models of course). In Hungary (where I come from) there a lot of german and japanese cars (Toyota mostly, Honda, Mitsubishi). There are a LOT of used cars that came from Germany, because the requirements related to Emission are not as strict in Hungary as they are in Germany, so a lot of shi**y diesel cars are imported to Center and East Europe from Germany, Italy and Austria. That's the main reason why there are a lot of german cars in Hungary for example. And the VW diesel scandal just accelerated this process.
mmhhh i don't think so, not here at least. In Italy you can see lot of italian/german/french/korean cars. The most common Japanese car you can see is the Nissan Qashqai, because they offer good discounts and diesel engines (made by Renault), Honda don't sell a lot because they do not practice discounts, Toyotas are most common in the cities because of the hybrid drivetrain. Ford sells well, but as Castor said, they have differences between US and EU model.
Okay, I've never even heard of that Nissan model before haha. So diesel engines are more prevalent in Europe due to emissions regulations?
I'm glad I don't have that same problem haha. I get a lot of compliments of people telling me they like the color of my car, and that they've never seen anything like it before.
I think it's called Rogue Sport in the US (i've seen some of them last August in California).
