Like all other businesses, there is no money in small cars. I work for a Ford Dealership and I see the margins everyday. There is less than $1000 profit in a focus that is sold at full sticker. With numbers like that or until that changes there will be no motivation to sell compacts.
Scion saw the same problems in the begining because they were are a no haggle pricing product whose profit margins are less than $1500 per vehicle. Dealerships currently cannot survive at those rates unless they sell 300-400 compact a month in some cities. So as usual, one side won't do anything because the other side won't.
