Germany revealed its car sales figures for 2017 today—and they’re as robust as one has come to expect from the home of the automobile. Some 3.4 million new vehicles were sold last year, up 2.7% from 2016, rising for the fourth year in a row and smashing their highest level in a decade.
The picture was decidedly less rosy in the UK, where, after growing for five straight years, sales dropped last year by 5.6% from the year before, to about 2.5 million new cars, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
SMMT CEO Mike Hawes said consumer confidence had been shaken by the Brexit vote, and “people’s willingness to buy big-ticket items has declined.” While he pointed out that the car market “is still close to historic highs,” he noted that rising exchange rates will ramp up the cost of cars and car parts—86% of cars bought in the UK are imported, and those made in the UK are built with mostly imported parts.

lol fag the auto industry was born in detroit, not inbred faggot doochland
Luis Miller
fuck off amerimutt
this is something European, white people, related not you, muttgoy Your car industry is a joke because you only produce SHIT cars
Levi Gutierrez
2016 was a record year for car sales in the UK. The figures for 2017 are of course lower because they've settled back to normal levels.
Spin the story however it suits though.

If you aren’t buying exclusively Honda/Hyundai/Toyota cars you are getting ripped off. Countries like South Korea and Japan have very few work laws and allow their engineers to work 16+ hour days to ensure maximum productivity. The end result is superior cars at a more affordable cost. Euros and Americans unironically can’t compete.
Brandon White
cars are more expensive now. fact.

Enjoy having your overpriced Euro car breaking down every other month. My Honda has 130,000 miles on it and runs like a charm.
Adrian Davis
The car you post is nice if you are a leather jacket wearing 18yr old kid.
If you are grown up, you want a grown up car.

Parker Jenkins
> having your overpriced Euro car breaking down every other month
you think 70 percent of cars bought by Germans are German cars because they break down and are overpriced? Pic related literally clocks in at 180 euros a month and has topped the reliability tests for quite some time now.
Meanwhile a Tesla X costs a whooping 130,000 euros here (after tax subsidies...).
Camden Baker
Post your grown up car then, fag. Pic related, former Belgian police car.
Dominic Wright

Fail mention new diesel tax has caused massive uncertainty as well VW scandle.
Electric car sales amazingly better then anyone excpeted.
German cars sales droped 35% in 1 year in the uk as people stop buying german cars in the uk.
And turn to electric or wait for new technology.
This is very harmful to germany and there economy.
But not as bad as a hard brxit which would cause over 1 million jobs to go in german auto industry a well many others.
But this german who starts these dumb threads does not seem get that.

Jaxson Morales
I've always been curious how many miles Europeans get on there car. What is considered a high mileage car over there? My car is at 100,000 miles and now everything needs replacing. People here typically don't want cars approaching 100,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz is a car for old ass people. Real men drive BMW.
Ryder Taylor
Depends. French and Italian shitboxes will break after 100k miles.
German cars are known for reliability though they are churning out utter shite as of late
Japanese of course will last over 200k
Used car values plummet after 100k miles here

America invented the car, the plane, the train and the internet. Dont be glum, chaps. Theres a reason they are considered the modern empire.

Eli Jackson
Only the plane is a clear cut case, cars were mainly a German invention and trains British. Technology for the internet was US military but public web was a British man
Bentley Gomez
meanwhile in ireland, nothing of importance has happened in 500 years, unless u count the pornstars produced or amount of alcohol inhaled by these inbred snaggletooth sad backwards fuck cousins of great shittain. hell your faggot cuck country didnt even fight in the last 2 world wars. best u did was some faggot company in a shithole nigger country surrender to the french legion and go down in shame for it.
Anthony Ward
Loans and drug dealing, most have jobs unlike your refugees

Germans have no historical achievements so they have to resort to boasting about mundane things like car production and efficiency. Sad.
Britain is a lion. Americans ca is an eagle. Russia is a bear. Germany is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet.

Hondas and Nissans are made in this country, and I dont trust the quality of British made cars looking at some of the cars we’ve made in the past
Christopher Fisher
German cars across the board have awful resaleability chiefly due to electrical problems. VW, Mercedes, BMW. not that land rover does much better..
Bentley Taylor

Colton Cox
Inverted sway is a type of centripedal racing suspension you megafaggot, not fucking "swaybars". It literally makes a car lean "into" a curve instead of leaning away from it you retarded faglord.

Is there a similar graph for number of cars? Most German cars sell for much higher than american cars.

Except you don't do that because your cops are revenue sucking vultures who patrol highways in unmarked cars to catch people doing 5 over the limit, and cocaine will get you shot or jailed for 10 years in burgerland
Jack Bennett
Yeah, your automotive engineers are great at cheating emissions tests and designing cars that need mechanical service every 10 000 km.
