Because America is one of the biggest car markets, people were and still are more familiarized with American cars, so naming them in English makes they more "palatable" than calling them "pinto" or "fuga", also, English is a lingua franca.

That's essentially why. Only market that doesn't comply are the Chinese and even they are forced to Engrishize their domestic export models.

Yeah, Europe is going down the path of foreign gibberish. Probably because all the cool names have been used.

they do not have english names, retard. they have names that are easy to say all over the world (at least in the markets they are sold in).
Veloster, Fiesta, Qashqai and Touareg are not english words.

they've always done that. most Euro cars prior to WW2 were given alphanumeric names or just a numeric model code.

pretending to be retarded isn't a good trolling tactic, all it does is lower people's opinion of you.
