Is it just me, or are there almost NO Asian/Korean cars in Europe vs N. America?
Recently on a trip to Italy I saw an older Hyundai Santa Fe. It had a funny little sticker on the back stating that it was an Asian car. I saw two of those actually, both on Hyundai vehicles.
I suppose it might be due to the large supply of brands we don't get here in N. America (Seat, Peugeot, Renault, Dacia etc.).
Side note, I also noticed many household items that would usually be made in China, were all made in Italy. Heck, even the bed sheets at one place we stayed had a tag indicating that it was made in Italy. I suppose this would strengthen the European economy as opposed to outsourcing everything to Asian countries. Not only would it keep many jobs in Europe, but keep the money in Europe too. Then again, I could be totally wrong.
Any insight from fellow bitogers?
