If Europe " loves the Mustang " it's because it's cheap.

Not so many decades ago, the same predictions were made about the
Soviet Union. In Moscow there were BMW dealers, and the Paris fashion stores, and fancy food stores, and all the rest. But only the elite could afford any of it. The common people, whose labors supported the lavish lifestyles of the elite were generally on the verge of starvation following one failed progrom after another. Look at them now. When the rural areas start to crave what the urban areas afford through the labors of the farmers, China will face some major problems. Like the USSR with it's military might, even the guns could not hold it together. China is growing, it's true. They will soon be building their own jumbo jets in competition with Boeing and Airbus, and with their workforce, they can still build cheaper. China, as with most Asian countries, also plans much better for the future; making plans for where they will be in 50 to 100 years. The US only plans an average of 5 to 10 years down the road. The EU is already having problems with staying together. In fact, they have had problems from the beginning. Many countries signed on begrudgingly because they feared losing their individual national identities. The US has already been on a track of change. The industrial revolution is the past. Other countries will take over industrial production. The US has switched to being a service and information source, and out sources those to countries like India which is now one of the prime centers for tech support, etc. Progress means change, and change brings progress. Only time will reveal where the chips will fall.
