The bespoke UK/EU models are not the priority, again because they aren't being made in the US, so yes the quality drops.

You cannot get, for example, a new Focus in the US market. When you could, they were much higher quality.

The only Chevrolet you can buy in the UK is the Corvette. Chevrolet makes nine SUVs, four trucks (with however many infinite variations), and exactly one shitbox non-Corvette car.

If US automakers started turning their eyes towards smaller more efficient cars, where hauling Brayden to and from their soccer games didn't require multiple tons of steel, then they could compete in the EU market.

TBF, pretty soon you won't be able to buy a new Focus anywhere else, production finishes this year. Stellantis is still making cars of a similar size and could brand them as Chrysler for the US market.
