If your in France you see mostly Renaults, Puegots etc. America is one of the few that chooses to reject our own brands.
In all honesty, they probably stick with their national brands because they make something that the public want to buy.

A Renault Megane is a good car, anywhere. So is a Fiat Punto and so is the Honda Civic.

Can the same be said for the Chrysler Sebring or the Dodge Caliber?
