I do appreciate the fact that letting China control domestic car markets completely is not in geopolitical interests of governments, especially since US and EU can’t beat the Chinese in a free market. Plus it’s likely these highly advanced vehicles have atleast some intentional vulnerabilities and backdoors.
I know that way back in the 50s and 60s companies like Ford actually had huge factories in the UK building cars for the European market. But it seems to me that they have all retreated to their own insular North American island.
But thats probably the only vehicle from the US that has piqued my interest, and they are not coming over here.
So, I guess no. I'm not interested in what Americans are offering us.
"Nobody buys American" is a circle jerk meme in white collar parts of the internet where everyone has a $50k Japanese car/SUV/pickup in their driveway they need to feel validated about.
Ford and GM sell small cars, crossovers and midsize trucks hand over fist in "wet equatorial places", roughly speaking, though in GM's case typically not branded as GM/Chevy.
The Daimler Benz and FCA thing was actually really good for Chrysler/Jeep getting their products out there[1]. Due to the inherent multi nationality of Stellantis, those platforms are basically global at this point anyway even if they're not badged as Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler overseas or badged as French/Italian in the US.
That said, the "first world" markets have been so insular for so long due to protectionism that they are in serious danger.
