The reason is cost. Ford and GM are desperately trying to hold onto what market share they have. Their only way to compete is $$$. The imports KILL them on quality, standard features and engine technology. I have two late model Honda's in my driveway (and 2 Fords, so we're even), both run so efficiently they don't need cats AND have better power to weight ratios. Engine R&D is big $$$. As gas price goes up, you can bet the domestic guy's sales will shrivel until a d*** import group buys them. Remember when VW bought rolls-Royce and Bentley? maybe Kia will buy GM. just my crystal-ball BS.
