Same happened in the 70s and 80s with Japanese vehicles, and again in the 90s with Korean vehicles. Eventually those foreign brands fall too, and sell what we're told us Americans want. They always build bigger vehicles for North American markets. But not before domestic automakers fail to see what consumers are excited about by newer brands.
