the reason europeans have such selection in car configuration is that their gas is like 4$/L and they tax based on emissions...
so ya, there are more engines available and they buy more small cars. why? because they realize the large, gas intensive vehicles are too expensive
north americans have had it so good for so long that they dont (or didnt?) blink at buy 4.6L v8 vehicles for daily drivers......i wouldnt either when gas is $1/gallon!
north americans will simply not spend 30k on a 1.5L car even if it has leather, moonroof, nav, blah blah blah....not unless gas stays up at 1.30/L or $3/gal
