If you consider that the SUV is still a very prominent product in the mainstream market, then I'd say that your a little off base. The Suburban and the Explorer/Expedition have done well in recent years. Regarding regular sedan type cars - the car magazines are giving big praises for the Ford Fuison, including the Fusion Hybrid. There are some decent US-made cars in the very competitive cross-over market - consider the Ford Edge/Escape.

Granted, a Toyota Sequioa is a better SUV than a Suburban or Expedition, but you still see a lot of the GM/Ford SUV's out there - folks keep buying them...
