No matter whose chart you use it seems like the top ten countries with good economies all have about the same number of cars per capita.... I would also say that the U.S. has a lot more room to drive in (more need) than say... some tiny little island.

From this source, Germany has more cars per capita. Thanks for proving my point Thrawn, even if its old data.

2004 was the copyright date. But what does it matter, your data shows what mine does.

Point, but if it doesn't matter why did you ridecule the data I posted. Secondly your article might have been copywrited in 2004, but that doesn't indicate when the data for your graph was collected.

(surely you would fairly use "per capita", right? I mean, if I compared the state of texas to hawaii.....)

humm ...

Nice flawed reasonning

Let say their is 1 car / 2 people
Germany
(82431390 * 0.5 ) == 41215695
USA
( 295734134 * 0.5) == 147867067

41215695 != 147867067 !

3.6 more car in the US than in Gemany !

Uh no, but thanks for the redicule again. I concede the point that my data shows the same as yours vis a vis Germany having more cars per capita than the US.

I do not concede your redicule of my data because you thought it was antiquated when you don't even know how old your data is.

Futhermore, although you are correct in Germany having more cars per capita, it in no way supports your implied contention that Germany has 5% of the world population, and 40% of the world's vehicles.
