Why do Americans prefer to buy domestic cars?

However, there are many Americans who are the exact opposite, as they were likely burned by a poorly made American car in the past and will never own another.
Why don’t more American automakers make cars in the US?
The U.S. market has some of the strictest automotive regulations in the world, including safety standards and emissions rules. As a result, some automakers find the cost of entering the U.S. market and complying with its regulations to simply be too high — so they don’t bother selling their vehicles here.
Why don’t more foreign cars come to the US?
Another problem that prevents many foreign cars from coming our way is that U.S. buyers often have different tastes than foreign car shoppers. For instance, gasoline is cheaper in the U.S. than it is in most foreign countries, which means that Americans generally want cars with bigger engines and more power.
