I think a lot of it has to do with price too. The cars are so much easier to pay for then some of the V8s. Plus with the way gas prices are going smaller motors are more enticing.
Then add quality on top of that. Imports seem to be much better made then most domestics. Reliability is important when you dont have the money for a spare car.
Not to mention a lot of domestic cars are kinda ugly these days. (This is my opinion.)
Those are the reasons I think everyone has gone
over imports.
