I wouldn't worry about this: every European country has plenty of roads that American made cars could not drive through, due to the road width. Also, most American cars are gas pigs. For these reasons, Europeans, for the most part, are not going to buy them.

Haven't purchased Nike since I moved to Oregon. Knight's right wing militancy is obvious here. Buying the vote.
Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

I agree with you that the US is stuck in the early half of the twentieth century. The discourse today is about the impoverishment of the masses and the dismantling of the gov't such that there will be no funding for moving poor people around faster. The rich won't mix, and will stick to their jets.
I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.
