European car market profitability - Arty
Besides the luxury marques, the profit made from each unit sold in Europe can't be all that much considering that the average car is relatively small by world standards (ie Focuses, Polo).

Bigger car usually means bigger profit.

Ford recently made more money from finance than from direct car sales, with only the F Series pick ups maintaining the balance sheet.
