A Chrysler 300 cost here 3 times more expensive (in the Netherlands) than as it cost in the USA. Before I even can buy this car I first have to earn much more money because I pay a shit load on taxes on every single euro. So when I finally want to drive I have to pay a shit load on money for gas, insurrance, road taxes, fines etc etc.
I receommend all Americans who have never been to Europe not to answer in a thread like this if you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Europe is expensive and the $ has already been devaluated enough.
I like the US, please don't be angry to me

The dollar hasn't devalued at all. That would require deflation, which only happened for one quarter in 1979. Other then that, the US dollar has never deflated. In the last few years, the Euro has taken on lots of inflation and the US dollar has taken on almost none. You could say there is a comparative devaluing between the two currencies, but there is no real devaluing.
