Seriously? Do you get from telling my personal choice that I was "complaining"? And I still don't understand what is your fixation with my use of the word "average". I said it already, re-read what I wrote.
BTW, YES you seem to have issue with consumers who do not share your tastes. Just read what you wrote above. You are judging American consumers simply because they do not share your European "orthodoxy".
Every time I point out something about Fiat, you take it as a personal affront. Unless your name is Sergio, I suggest you relax a little.
Before suggesting the others what to do better to look at the mirror.
Maybe is You that has the fixation with Fiat and "Sergio". ;-)
And about the use of the word "average", maybe sometimes is better to speak of segmentation of the automotive market, and not just always speak about "average" market.
Why? Fiat 124 is a type of car at which are interested a restricted part of customers, if looking at customers is the analysis.
"Average" has few meaning without the associated the object of the "average".
Too many here continue to say that "You non U.S." don't understand that...", "don't know thant ..." while in reality maybe someone is just projecting his/her preferences, or of the group of cars enthusiasts, to a supposed "average" U.S.A. customer.
So why there are some U.S.A. citizens that buy a Toyota Prius and other U.S.A. citizens that buy a Ram 2500 as daily driver?
