@dom3827 dude, I am a 47 year old european, i life in the netherlands, I have been checking out cars and car magazines for 40 years. You only give top of the line examples, like an 80s Opel Senator with board computer, a car that was like 0.01% of Opels sales!!!! How hard is it to understand that 90% of their sales were basic corsa's kadett's and ascona's , 9% were slightly more luxurious managament cars, like the Record and 1% were luxury sedans.
Do i really have to scan my old car magazine articles of the 80s and 90s to show you how basic the average SOLD car was?
In the same period, americans didn;t drive hondas and ford trucks.. Have you ever watched any american movies? they drove chevies, fords, plymouths, oldsmobiles . and yes, later also hondas and toyotas.
look up best selling car per year in Car and Driver. It;s ALL sedans and hatchbacks all 80s and 90s
the most sold card from 1978 to 1981 was the Oldsmobile Cutlass. It had automataic gearbox, power steering, power windows, power locks, AC, all kinds of stuff you didn;t find in european common people cars.
Or we look 10 years later, 89-91 best selling car was Honda Accord. It would have much more electronic gadgets than a similar prices EU car, because Americans expected that kind of stuff and europeans were just getting used to it in high end cars. Yes sure you can find an audi in 1990 with the same, but it would be much more expensive.
I would say that it would take another decade for trim levels to be equally all over the world.
