Why don’t black people like foreign cars?

You don’t see many black people driving BMWs or Mercedes cars. Usually it’s the black professionals who are around white people. But other than that black people with money usually seem to want a Cadillac or Lincoln. I wonder why.

Even among middle income professionals, I’ve noticed that white and Asian people tend to drive a Honda or Toyota while black people tend to drive a Ford or Chevy. Come to think of it, I don’t know any white professionals who drive American cars, unless they are extremely conservative.

OP, if you mean black Americans or African-Americans, look at the history. The Big Three automakers, General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler Stellantis North America, were all based out of Detroit, employed African-Americans, sold their cars to African-Americans, and were affordable to many middle class AA families.

BMW and Mercedes Benz are German cars, and therefore, never really built a loyal customer base among African Americans

With that said, you really need to get out more. I have many AA colleagues who drive around in Hondas, Hyundais and Kias.

Had a 2019 Porsche Cayenne- AMAZING VEHICLE.

Now have a 2022 Audi Q5- What a basic bitch cunt of a OVERPRICED poser car with not one redeeming quality. Was over it in 2 weeks.

Should have kept the Cayenne and just paid for repairs. It was a much better vehicle and company. (Despite the Volkswagen/Porsche connection)

In the 1970’s if you drove by the Black Slums- the only flashy cars 🚗 you’d see were Cadillacs. By the late 1980’s it started to change- their favorite RIFF RAFF rap artists were driving Mercedes so those became established as status symbols.

Fifty years ago if you drove by the Black Slums- the only flashy cars 🚗 you’d see were Cadillacs. About 35 years ago, it started to change- their favorite RIFF RAFF rap artists were driving Mercedes so those became established as status symbols.
