I just heard Donald Trump bemoaning how Europe doesn't take American cars and I just shook my head. He's simply ignorant regarding the history of the US and European car production. Ford cars are seen in Europe, they're made there but have had a declining market share since they're not as good as competing brands. Likewise GM, the maker of Chevrolet, but in Europe they were Vauxhall and Opel. GM went bust and so Vauxhall and Opel were sold off.
The failure of American car brands in Europe is the result of US incompetence and inability to make a decent car, and not because the Europeans shut them out.
