Cars from non US manufacturers still exist in the US and they're built to fit both markets. Holy hell I'm tired of having to spell things out.

Look at a Toyota Prius and tell me it's a lifted monstrosity with a hood that sends pedestrians under it.

Lmfao. We're not talking about foreign manufacturers in the US, we're talking about US manufacturers in foreign markets.

American manufacturers make models they sell in both markets. The Mach-e and even the Ranger are sold in Europe. The Transit is a European van that was brought over from Europe. The Challenger and Corvette are sold in both markets as well.

And again, is not just US made vehicles on the road in the US.
