One idea why:

In the US cars are perhaps more of a status symbol? (not that they arnt elsewhere...)

So people remove the badges themselves from their cars.

Maybe the Europeans like a simpler design aestehtic? I checked and it's a no cost option to debadge your Porsche when you order it.

I say this as a European living in Australia, and my tastes in cars are different to my friends in all the ways you would expect!

I like Porsche, and have a 911. My Aussie mates like big V8s!

(who doesnt like a V8, but you get what I mean!)

And please no one get offended by my generalisations. Take it in the spirit intended :-)
