The cars exist today. They should have been able to foresee that gas prices were eventually go to go up and they should have been ready to sell some small cars here. Clearly, European built small cars wouldn't be price competitive in North America. However, since 2001, they should have been able to find a lower cost manufacturing location. If Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, and others can sell cars like the Fit, Yaris and others here there is no reason that Ford and GM can't.
