Sorry to enlighten you, but the whole world does not conform to what America likes.
No other market likes pickups the way Americans do. This is a FACT, just like Cadillac has never been a big seller in most of the world because the cars are too big.
If you had actually ever been to a country like Germany or England or Spain or italy (just to name a few) you would see that a giant F-150 or Silverado would be so out of place on the tiny streets. Add in the $6+/gallon gas and you've got even a greater reason. Or why do you think they invented the Smart car, for fun?
In London alone it costs $15 just to get into the city due to a congestion problem. Now, how many American pickups are there????
Want even more proof? Just get on the truck sections on this site. See how many people from Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world are writing in about their wonderful ownership experience of American pickups.

This statement is hilarious! As if this poster actually knows what every person in the world wants to drive. Oh that's right -- he assumes they all must want to drive what he WANTS them to drive.
