What are the bad things that makes people avoid buying french and italian cars?
Perhaps there’s a certain stigma about Italian cars (it’s not true, but people often think of expense and unnecessary faux luxury when they think of Italian cars- sports cars instantly spring to mind) , but I think the real reasons people avoid buying French and Italian cars are: racism, a belief that buying only your own country’s goods is beneficial, tradition and xenophobia. People often pick on foreign brand cars and refuse to buy them because they feel they should be buying their own country’s brand instead. In reality, many foreign (particularly Japanese) companies employ more Americans / Brits than American / British car manufacturers, so supporting them IS in fact supporting your country. At the end of the day, I only buy something if I think it’s a decent product and fairly priced. If my country’s brand can’t compete with a Japanese / French / Italian / American brand then it’s their own fault; I’m not going to buy a shoddy version of a better car just because it’s British.
