I think one problem is that engineers design for the conditions at hand.
America always had vast amounts of space, cheap fuel, extremely low speed limits and taxes.
In Italy for example they HAD to design small cars because large ones simply do not fit into their towns and cities. I used to know a few rather well off Romans and despite the fact that they could afford practically anything they all drove tiny little cars because driving a Ferrari regularly in Rome is the complete opposite of fun. In the '80s they tended to buy Innocenti. That was a company owned by de Tomaso who built a Bertone-rebodied Mini which could be ordered with leather interior and AC (a rarity in those days except S-class Mercs, Jags etc).
