You have to first explain to me which are the "American cars".
I turned my back on American cars when Ford cancelled plans of building the Fusion factory in Atlanta and decided to move it to Mexico and pay minimum wage and no benefits.
I buy Japanese and German cars now. And I make sure they are built in Germany and Japan. Their workers make at least as much as American workers.
I'm not trying to be "patriotic" or nationalistic here. I'm just wondering why there is so much disparity between the vehicles I see daily on the local roads and those mentioned here.

It seems on par with what I see on the roads every day. So I guess it really depends on where you live.

It is probably due to the fact that Duluth, MN metropolitan area is not a good demographic representative sample of the types of vehicles that are typically purchased by Americans today.
It depends on where you live; California has been addicted to imports for over three decades while the Detroit 3 have had little success breaking into the passenger sedan market out here, all they do very well with truck sales as well as the Explorer.
As a very lengthy article in the WSJ pointed out recently, trucks are substantially more profitable for the Detroit Three as well as the Asians than passenger cars are, and the fact that the truck sales market is going gangbusters right now is great news for everybody who makes them, and especially the folks in Motown.
