Heres a story about an A#$hat friend of a coworker of mine. There are large swooping interchange circles in sfl and this guy decided to take one a lil too hot in a scion tc.
instead of spinning out his car drove straight off the road because understeer locked the steering up. One pole, the jaws of life, and an expensive medical bill later hes still alive.
sorry rwd is inherently safer.

Honda is an Asian company. Ford is a domestic company. So Ford will get a break being as how they are based here. That affects margins as well.

and Honda gets a break in Japan......so...

I'm not sure how you're misunderstanding my post...
Cost is an issue. When BMW and Mercedes makes their base model cars cheaper, people try harder to obtain one. You can get a brand new Bmw 3 series for almost $30k. The frs costs $25k. Most people would rather just tack on the extra cash and cop the German ride.
This is the EXACT same issue we had in the 90's.

I think youre missing the point I made.
You have to step outside your American bubble and think about how other countries work.
In Germany and Europe, German cars are not only limited to the luxury segment, there are econo box bmws as well.
thats why there are models (the ones I listed) over there that dont exist here and why the phrase 'poverty spec' exists for modding old bmws.
