If U.S. firms were to capture one-third of the German automobile market, they’d have 1 million sales per year to divide up among them. If German firms were to capture one-third of the U.S. market, they’d have about 2.5 million sales to divide among them.

Wait... In the U.S. (pop.: 330 million; 7.5 million cars sold per annum), only about two-and-a-half times as many automobiles are sold than in Germany (pop.: 75 million; 3 million cars sold per annum), which has less than a quarter of the population?

Somebody’s mistaking total production in Germany for the domestic market in Germany, not taking exports into account.
