When I moved to Germany I had expectations of an autobahn full of Porsche's and BMW's, Maserati's and Mercedes SL's. What I found was a lot of Fords, Opels, Fiats, and Citroens. Most of the Mercedes were low-end models not found in the US. The autobahn blasters were primarily the large Mercedes and the BMW 700 series. I've seen more P cars on the 401 near LA than I did near Frankfurt. On my latest trip to CA I was cruising north on the 101 near Santa Barbara when a Panamera went flying by followed closely by an Audi R8 and a Maserati Quattroporte. As for rural America, hen's teeth are far more common than a high-end Porsche. I now live north of Dayton, Ohio and know the half dozen Porsches in this area on sight and they include a 911T, a 914, a 356, and two Boxsters.
