Is the real reason that American luxury brands are failing that black people buy them and end up ruining their image for everyone else?

Actually, it is because the mammoth increase in income inequality that began in the Nixon era has been terrible for the upper middle class demographic that bought Cadillac, Lincoln and Chrysler cars. Now a much more stratified society buys poverty-spec cars like the Versa and $80k+ luxury cars and the $40-70k spot that those brands marketed to has all but evaporated.
Nicholas Jenkins
it's because Americans have shit standards for what you consider luxury
Jaxson Howard
Americans haven't made good luxury cars since the 30's. American luxury is a complete joke.

A new Ford Fusion, regular American car, is the same amount of luxury as a Mercedes-Benz C-Class or BMW 3 series.

The only thing a Merc C250 or BMW 328i have going for them is the badge. Strip the badge and they are run of the mill new econoboxes
Don't even get met started on the cheaper mercs and bmws
Zachary Adams
yet american cars still feel cheap
Jeremiah Williams
Both of those are normal European cars, not luxury

That'd be a lot more believable, Anonymous, if your country could even import American cars for the average man to afford. Unfortunately you can't and never will so your experience with American cars is zero, fuck off.
Normal European cars are 1.0l shitboxes
Josiah Collins
They are literally taxi-tier
Gabriel Smith
now post the cars actually owned by normal citizens that they drive everyday
Ayden Johnson
Only Americans think BMW and Mercedes are some kinda ultra luxurious brands
C-Class is literally on the list of bestselling cars in Europe

Maybe it was because all those brands turned to shit. Lincoln went from it's unibody Continental in the 60's, back to body on frame in the 70's because it was cheaper. Chrysler went bankrupt in the late 70's. Cadillac was creating 500 cubic inch, 180hp, fwd, 3 ton barges of wtf are you doing.
The total fuckup in the late 70's allowed European brands to become relevant. Americans also loved Lexus so I wouldn't claim it was because of the disappearing middle class.

Thanks man but you still haven't posted a typical European street filled with cars.

I see a few expensive cars, rest are small engine shitboxes like I expected.
Nice fleets

Nope, the cuck boxes Europeans drive are nowhere near on the same level as the 3.6L V6 landbarges Americans have access to for $2,000
Cameron Wilson
Dude, those V6 land barges are slower than those 1.4l Euro boxes because they weigh twice as much, make like 45hp per liter from a wheezing pushrod engine and have a 4 speed slushbox without a lockup.
The Vulcan Taurus legit takes 12 seconds to 60 from a V6.
And they corner like a basket of dogshit.
Landon White
No one drives a Vulcan V6 Taurus anymore dude....
Most V6 in the US make at least 200 HP.
On average, most cars here ar faster.
