Most of the European cars listed are the economy models and I'me pretty sure all of them are cheaper than the 3.
I'm suprised that the A4 and C class aren't listed. I've seen far more new Audi's and Merc's here thn BMW's. Granted I live in Baden-Wurttemburg now. But even when I lived in Bavaria I saw more Audi's and VW's on the road.

Obvious, but still interesting is that 8 out of the top 10 cars sold in Europe are Euro Brands while only 4 of the top 10 cars sold in the US are American brands..................

Remember, the list doesn't include SUV's, Trucks, and Mini-van's. If it did you would certainly see more U.S. models.

It would be interesting to see where the trucks would rank in the U.S. I think the Ford F150 would be near the top.
