There are Asian and Euro vehicles that appeal to me even in North America, but I don't want the hassles of having to source parts and qualified service for them. Even with my Ram, I find convenient and qualified service lacking compared to my Ford - I could just image trying to get parts for unique vehicle in low density populated area and then finding someone qualified to do the work.
I also have traveled in Australia (only the eastern half) and lived in Europe, so I see that conditions and infrastructure are significantly different.

In Europe, I would avoid North American AND Asian vehicles - Choosing a Euro brand would give me the least amount of headaches.
