Subject:End the hegemony of the US auto makers

So, I'm in Trinidad at the moment and I'm blown away at the number and
variety of non-passenger type vehicles. There are all sorts of vans, trucks,
SUV/APVs that we never see in the US market. There are some very cool
Hyundai and Kia vans - non are campers but they are smart looking,
presumably fuel efficient as they are mostly diesels, lots of king-cab Isuzu
trucks, a bunch of cool old British trucks selling ice cold coconuts and
just more variety than we ever see in the US.

Will we ever be free of the hegemenony of US automaker's dominance over what
is perceived to be marketable vehicles?
