[QUOTE="DBK, post: 16655747, member: 4088"] I'll just say this - Europe is a complete and total cluster****. Can you imagine the scenario right now trying to build cars 1 at a time and import to all those different markets with all those different regs? What a nightmare. Shipping alone is a nightmare. I ordered an AMG GT Black Series in January, it got built in March, and after months and months of sitting at a German port, the boat with it finally gets to Baltimore in 2 days - almost 5 months after it was built. And the GT lost of a bunch of power over there because they couldn't get a small volume exemption from brutal new emissions regs. I think the car dropped from 660 hp to 620 hp. There's more to it, but again, just see the above picture. Europe has a great history of high performance Fords but they are very different than here. You can sell GTs in North America all day every day to a virtually limitless supply of flush millionaires who've bought hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars worth of Fords. I have always thought Europe would be a way harder situation to deal with. [/QUOTE]
