you can even see it in Yaris vs Corolla. Even at the same price point, people chose to buy a Corolla, and dealers would rather sell the Corolla.

But the thing that wasn't mentioned is taxes. Europeans get overtaxed on everything, from car dimensions, to engine size, to co2 put out, etc. If the choice was between a Yaris contented out fully as a US Camry, or a fully contented US Camry, but you would have to pay thousands more in taxes additionally every year on the Camry, people would start to change their mind.

Same thing in Japan, except there is a gigantic tax after the second full year of ownership, so there are japanese car lots with two year old cars that just won't sell because of these insane taxes that are due at the time of sale.
