Seems to be a EU thing anyway. They hate our guts.
And also, no matter how good the product, there is always an auto dealer around where you live where you would never do business. Attitude.
Saying the EU hates you is like saying the US all thinks and acts the same. Disagreements are not generally based in hate but more often in commercial competition. A lot of Europeans work for Boeing, some of my engineering friends worked at Boeing suppliers in California. Don't bring 'hate' into what is just some commerical wrangling. It ain't worth it.
Yeah your right, sometimes a small detail can put you off dealing with some companies, I guess thats personal choice at the end of the day.
