And European brands simply can't compete in that "affordable luxury" segment dominated by Asian brands, especially while being restricted by so many eco laws, paying out the ass for electricity and wages.
Every time they try to compete on price, the quality suffers and shit breaks.
They really need to find a way to stand out or they won't have a future.
