One problem with the U.S. market is, it's extremely fickle. Gas goes up high "enough" and suddenly there's interest in smaller vehicles with manual transmissions (that were all but ignored previously). Then gas drops a dime and the herd stampedes back into full-size pickups and SUVs. That's my take on it anyway.
