For car manufacturing Germany and France have lower labor costs per hour than the US because healthcare and retirement are handled by the government. The reason you don't see more cheap cars imported from Europe is shipping cost and exchange rate risk. I suspect you'll see that change now that they are devalueing the Euro and aligning car regulations between the EU and US in a couple of years.
