The American manufacturers shifted their production to more profitable SUVS and trucks. I hate SUVs and truck drivers, they cant drive or park period. As for American performance cars, yes, they've moved further upmarket just like the Germans. Management-wise, it's harder to extract the same productivity from European and American auto-workers (unionized) than from Japanese auto workers (used to be guaranteed lifetime job) so the Germans and Americans are constantly moving further and further upmarket.
