The Big Three's discovery of the automobile might seem odd at this point, but over the past 10 years, Detroit has focused much of its energy and money on SUVs and trucks, which command high prices and high profits and see less competition from imports. Carmaking has been a loser for Detroit lately, but with the foreigners now muscling into the SUV and truck markets while holding on to their car sales, the Americans have...
