The  article begins by pointing out that 
the Corvair was greatly disadvantaged  by taxes slapped on products imported 
from 
the U.S. the result of which  was that, while the Corvair was aimed at the VW 
at home by virtue of its  price, it found itself in another class entirely in 
France with a price of  24,000 NF for a Monza "berline" (I think that's a  
sedan).


 
Corvairs were assembled in Belgium and Switzerland - and probably other  
places in Europe. Probably for that reason. - Seth
