Nothing will happen if the comparison is the US, everyone here knows Americans have money and yet somehow seem to struggle even more.

In the ways that matter politically (PPP/capita not nominal), the change to the ratio is noise:

What can matter is comparisons with our own past, our own present. We don't want 60k American SUVs, they don't fit on our roads anyway; but we do want a clement home and easy transport, and may very well blame our leaders for oil shocks caused by America attacking Iran.
