@JoB Well, lots of German made cars are still sold in the US, even though German car companies also make cars here.

But they ARE mostly different cars. And a lot of that has to do with US lighting regulations. We've got different rules for headlight beam patterns, brightness, turn signal colors (and I will NOT forgive German car companies for putting red turn signals on American models, it's stupid), we don't have rear fog lights here, and of course side marker lights don't have to be installed there (or at least didn't, don't know if that's still true).

Manual transmissions are on the way out anyway, they're not useful on electric cars.
