Given the absolute crap that American car companies have tried to pawn off on Africa over the years, it's not surprising that American cars have a horrible name there. American cars had a nasty habit of dying out in the bush - which tends to be fatal for the passengers.

If I worked for DCX and wanted to try to sell cars there, I'd have to do the same thing.

On the other hand modern American automotive paint is the all time favorite for Africans when it comes to huffing.

They love the stuff ~ all the time trying to get permission to mail it too.

And those guys have MJ growing wild everywhere.

Most South Africans don't live in the bush and they buy a LOT of German cars; always have done.

But these teensy cars are NOT anything that South Africans would be interested in; they look far too easy to carjack.
