hence, the hypocrisy of the US being a "free market" yet choosing not to accept competition when it's not tilted in their favour.
I think the US should allow imports of such cars (provided they pass strict environmental and safety regulations - most of which i'm sure it already does).
It will stop the car giants from resting on their laurels. If it hurts jobs, that simply means those jobs are no longer competitively producing value; the competition therefore will become a forcing function for change.
